The goal of this project is to use SolidWorks to aid in designing a real-life product.
Objectives:
Identify and create an everyday object assembly in a CAD environment.
Consider the most appropriate manufacturing technique for each component.
Use software to prepare a 3D print file of a part you designed
Specifications:
Identify a mechanism found in a piece of sporting equipment (i.e. something typically found in
the sports equipment section of a store). The mechanism should have at least 3 separate parts
that satisfy the following criteria. If you have questions whether your part qualifies, ask me
early in the process (emails with pictures are great).
To be considered "separate", the parts must have relative movement under typical
operation (e.g. a hammer =1 part, standard scissors =2 parts). Parts that are threaded
together do not count as separate parts (e.g. lids, nut/bolt, etc). They must have relative
motion as part of the standard action of the mechanism. Simple geometric variations
among independent parts are not "separate" pieces (e.g. wheels on a car, knife blades, etc)
To be considered a "mechanism" the 3 parts must be mechanically dependent (i.e. if you
move 1 part relative to a second, it creates relative motion of the 3rd part as well).
Modeling a "button" that electrically activates another motion is not a mechanical
mechanism. It is not sufficient to have a "middle" part simply follow the motion of an end
part (like links in a chain). If you have questions about this, ask me early.
Complex assemblies may be simplified into 3 or more key components as long as the
functionality and design intent are preserved. You can have more than 3 parts, if desired.
Identify each of the major individual parts:
Label each part in your CAD isometric overview (make this the first picture in the report)
Describe how each part was most likely manufactured & why (follow instructions for
filling out the table in the Project Template).
Describe how you would model each major piece in a CAD environment using the 4 basic
CAD operations (or combinations). Provide supporting hand sketches (similar to HW10a
not screen captures from SolidWorks) for each piece.
Your overall mechanism must include at least one instance of each of the 4 basic CAD
operations. Complete the table in the Project Template & show example pictures of each
operation. Note: the path sketch for the sweep operation should not be a straight line (that's
equivalent to an extrusion).
Create a solid model of each part within the assembly (at least 3 separate SW part files).
Make sure all sketches are fully defined. The only exceptions are text and splines.
Make appropriate use of Materials and Appearances within SolidWorks for your parts.
