Screw Jack Lift Table

This project involved the 3D modeling and functional design of a screw jack lift table, developed entirely in Creo Parametric. The objective was to create a mechanically stable lifting platform capable of precise vertical motion while sustaining load-bearing requirements. The design emphasized manufacturability, ease of assembly, and mechanical efficiency, integrating key concepts of power transmission and structural rigidity.
