LEVEL 1 D-P-001 TASK REPORT
Mechanical Design
1.Introduction to Engineering Drawing
Orthographic Projections
I understood what orthographic projections are and understood the different reference planes and different types of views while analysing the position of the object.
-
using mini drafter I have illustrated 7 orthographic projections on A2 sheet.The link contains the images of the drawings Link.
-
I have illustrated the isometric projections.The link contains the image of the drawings Link.
2D Drawing In CAD
From the given folder I have drawn the 2d drawings in autocad.
2D Drafting
The Sierpiński Triangle is a special pattern made by dividing a big triangle into smaller triangles. This process is repeated, creating a unique design. It is used in computer science, antennas, and art. I have drawn a Level-2 Sierpiński Triangle to show this pattern.
3D Drafting
An Allen key is an L-shaped tool used for tightening and loosening hexagonal socket screws. I have created a 2D drawing and a 3D model in AutoCad with dimensions: 55mm length, 20mm width, and 3mm size. I ahve used the sweep tool for the allen key .
Task 2
With reference to the drawing I have 3d drafted 3 machine parts in fusion 360. I first amde the 2d drawings of the machine part and then used 3d tools like extrude,hole to 3d model the machine parts according to the given dimensions.
2. 3D Modelling
3. Prerequisite for assembly in Fusion 360
After going through the Fusion 360 assembly basics, I now have a better understanding of the difference between bodies and components. I also got a clear idea of the top-down and bottom-up approaches. I learned that bodies are just shapes used for modeling, while components are real parts that can move and be assembled. One important thing I realized is how crucial it is to rename every body and component to avoid confusion later on. I also found that starting with a new component from the beginning helps keep the workflow smoother and more organized. These small steps will definitely save time and make the modeling process a lot easier.
4. Assembly and Animation
I machine Design one of the Mechanisms from scratch from the resources given below. Understanding the basics of modelling, Assembly and Animation Resources.
I have machine designed Ratchet and Pawl Mechanism.below are the imgae of the mechanism and simulation.
6.Designing a parametric box
I have designd a parametric box with different kinds of lids with slide,snap,joint.and have assembled and animated them.
