Class: Computer Aided Design and Fabrication (MCEN 1025) 
Project Description: Transform an existing object or assembly into a CAD model
Relevant Skills: Complex CAD modeling specially surfacing with SolidWorks, Sheet Metal Manufacturing 
I made the “Bialetti” style espresso brewer for my CAD class. The intention was to model an existing assembly and recreate a model of it. I challenged myself by modeling parts with complex surfaces. (All designs from Villeroy & Boch).  I chose this because of the aesthetics and excellent build quality. I made the lid using SolidWork's sheet metal toolbox. 
Coffee has been paramount in my life because I grew up in a family of coffee farmers. Since childhood I have been exposed to the coffee culture and that is why I decided to model this espresso brewer. The slides below show some of the aspects I enjoy most about coffee production.
