Overview

Reverse engineering of a Harbor Freight Drill Master: a SolidWorks model, a drawing with an exploded view and parts list, and KeyShot renderings.

The redesign is in progress; a KeyShot animation is a take on 3D animation using Tesla’s VBL on the drill.

Problem
Reverse engineer an existing cordless drill as the base for a redesign.
Process
SolidWorks model → drawing with exploded view and parts list → KeyShot renders and animation.
Outcome
Reverse engineering complete; redesign in progress.
