Summer Intern Project

Engineering Intern – McCullough Industries, Kenton, OH


“My project involved building accurate 3D models of existing products and creating new drawings that can be shared with customers and distributors. In many cases, I was modeling parts that didn’t have drawings before. I also created custom models based on customer requests and provided general quotes for those jobs, helping avoid the need for a physical prototype. One of my favorite projects was modeling the dust collection hoppers, where I replicated even the small release levers on the sides with precision. Now, McCullough has a full library of updated drawings that leave us better prepared for a variety of communications with customers.”
