Mechanical Engineer , Mechanical Designer, Fabrication Engineer , Product Designer
I am Abdelrahman Yousef but you can call me Amin as my friends used to do. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, and that helped me a lot to gain a great knowledge in different Mechanical Engineering approaches,like; Mechanical Principles and CAD Software. Also I recently got a Fab Academy Higher diploma which increased my experience in designing and implementing a wide range of designs according to specifications by using digital fabrication. However, I am working everyday to improve myself in all aspects. I love performing the different experiments, learning about different cultures and making new friends from all over the world.
Fab Foundation | JAN/2022 - JUN/2022
The Fab Academy teaches principles and applications of digital fabrication. It was developed to teach hands-on skills in fab labs, which began as an outreach project from MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms, and has grown into a global network of more than 500 labs. Fab Academy instruction is based on MIT’s popular rapid-prototyping course How To Make (almost) Anything (opens new window), both taught by Prof. Neil Gershenfeld. you can visit my fab academy website here.

2020 - Present
I have worked on several projects as a freelancer like designing a laptop holder , a glass bottle holder, a chair, a Wristwatch frame, etc. Usually the projects involved drawing several models and then fabricating the last model.
A self Assembly Robot (Modular Robot) consists of a group of similar cells (Main part), each cell has five degrees of freedom. These cells are formed according to the shape and required function. The project involved: Cell design using Cero, force simulation using Ansys, mathematical model derivation , control circuit design and model fabrication.
ur-One Bionic machine is prosthetic hand, which gives a second chance to people who lost their hands by creating a prosthetic hand that perfectly fits and satisfies their daily needs, What distinguishes this project is that the information in it will remain open source, easy to fabricate, easy to assemble and cheap. This grants an access to a wide range of people
Designed and fabrication of 3d printed glider aircraft with a wingspan of 2.3 meters to compete in the 3D Printed Aircraft Competition at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA).
In this project, my role involved design and overseeing the manufacturing process for a 3D mixer. The 3d mixer is a uniquely design capable of mixing samples in three dimensions, allowing for horizontal, vertical, or angled rotation. Its applications span across powder mixing, liquid blending, and various sample
In this project, I was part of the design team responsible for creating a substantial hummus production line at Afaq company. This production line was extensive and encompassed all the necessary stages for hummus production, including soaking, cooking, blending, mixing, buffering, and transferring the product between these stages before delivering it to the pasteurization line.
In this project, my role involved design and overseeing the manufacturing process of an ointment-cream mixer. The Ointment and Cream Mixer or ointment production vessel, use in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for producing ointments, creams, lotions, gels, and toothpaste
In this project, I designed a pharmaceutical-grade liquid mixer with a double jacket for temperature control, incorporating features such as a homogenizer, heat exchanger, CIP (Clean-in-Place) system, isolation , and an impeller.
In this project, I engineered a pharmaceutical-grade vacuumed liquid mixer with a capacity of 2000 liters, featuring a double jacket for temperature control. The design included essential components like a homogenizer, heat exchanger, CIP (Clean-in-Place) system, SIP (Sterilize-in-Place), supply tank, isolation equipment, and impeller."
While working at Afaq, I was involved in designing and overseeing the manufacturing process of various types of food-grade conveyors to meet specific demand requirements.
This project was one of several freelance projects I undertook, involving the design, and fabrication of multiple desktop-sized CNC router machines."
Clay forming machine is a 4 axis CNC with rotating disc which designed with the motive of automating the process of forming clay, which will give this industry many advantages, the most important of which is accelerating the production process and increasing accuracy, in addition to the possibility of forming clay in ways that cannot be done by human hands
Due to COVID - 19 , number of people that used to do sport in general or going to the gym decreased , and this is happen for several reasons such as avoiding to contact with others. The design start from here , a home gym Machine that can be folded to reduce the space used and contains more than one device to cover the needs that can be found in the normal gym.
This board is similar to the Arduino board. Contains an atmega 238 as microcontroller. This board is made using desktop CNC milling and soldering the parts manually and programmed by ISP.
The Drone structure was designed use Generative design on Fusion 360, Generative design is a technology in which 3D models are created and optimized by computer software. A user sets up requirements for the model, such as manufacturing processes, loads, and constraints, and then the software offers designs that meet those requirements.
Soft robotics is a branch of robotics concerned with the design, control, and construction of robots made of flexible materials rather than rigid linkages. Moulding and casting can be a technique that allows making soft robotics , this technique has been of great use for rubbers and silicone work, I make it in three steps of mould and control it by Flow.io platform that could program it and get this amazing result .
