This experience was gained during my MBKM Industrial Internship at PT Semen Padang,conducted from 1 October to 25 December 2025. During this internship,I was involved in supporting technical understanding of industrial equipment through 3D modeling and mechanical visualization. The internship focused on translating real industrial components and assemblies into accurate digital models to improve system comprehension and technical documentation. FYI the Part of this project is around thousand of component"s

Internship Objectives

The primary objective of this internship was to model and visualize mechanical components and assemblies used in the cement production process, particularly within the Roller Mill system. By developing structured 3D models, complex industrial equipment could be analyzed and understood more clearly in terms of geometry, assembly structure, and functional relationships.

My Contributions

Mechanical Design & Assembly Modeling

I carried out mechanical design and assembly modeling of industrial components based on existing technical drawings and reference data. This required accurate interpretation of dimensions, tolerances, and functional relationships to ensure the digital models reflected real industrial equipment.

Weldments for Structural Components

For structural and frame-related parts, I utilized Weldments features to model welded constructions commonly found in industrial machinery. This approach allowed the creation of realistic structural members and reinforced my understanding of how welded assemblies are represented in CAD.

Sheet Metal Modeling

Several components were modeled using Sheet Metal features, particularly for parts involving bends and formed profiles. This ensured the models followed realistic manufacturing logic and industrial standards.

Surfacing for Complex Geometry

I applied Surfacing techniques to model components with complex or curved geometries that could not be efficiently created using standard solid modeling methods.

Advanced Mates for Assembly Behavior

To enhance assembly realism, I used Advanced Mate features to define proper alignment, motion constraints, and positional relationships between components, improving visualization of mechanical interactions within the assembly.

Learning Outcomes

Through this internship, I gained hands-on experience applying advanced SOLIDWORKS modeling features—including Weldments, Sheet Metal, Surfacing, and Advanced Mate to real industrial cases. The project strengthened my ability to translate complex industrial systems into accurate and structured digital models while maintaining engineering logic and manufacturability.
