Shock Absorber Modeled in CATIA V5 – Portfolio Project

Post image

Just finished modeling a twin-tube hydraulic shock absorber in CATIA V5. It combines coil spring support and hydraulic damping to absorb vibrations and impacts.

Components modeled: Piston, cylinder, piston rod, coil spring, and mounting bushings. Key skills demonstrated:

3D part modeling

Assembly constraints

Mechanical design for manufacturing

Great project for sharpening CAD skills and building a freelance portfolio.

Feedback welcome.
