CAD / PLM Design Controls

THE DESIGN PROBLEM
As Hyphen scaled, inconsistent CAD and release practices made design control increasingly important. I developed and implemented standardized CAD/PLM workflows connecting Onshape and Arena, covering part data, BOMs, revision control, and production release.
Key Focus: CAD Standards · PLM Integration · Revision Control
IMPLEMENTATION
Defining the workflow was only part of the project. I translated the process into engineering documentation that could be used during everyday product development.
Training
Walked the team through the Onshape-to-Arena workflow and expected practices.
Adoption
Integrated the process into normal engineering development rather than treating it as a standalone documentation exercise.



IMPACT
- Streamlined process from design to production release
- Enabled scale as the engineering team grew
