SolidWorks
Machine Vise
This machine vise was created for the CADD265 Mechanical Design Drafting term final. The assignment was to recreate an assembly with a minimum of two complex parts, and provide technical drawings for two parts and an exploded view. I chose to do this machine vise working from a rough sketch.
Medical Cart
This medical cart was created throughout the term in CADD275 Advanced SolidWorks. Having learned the basics of the software in CADD175, the goal of this course was to utilize the different specialized tool kits within SolidWorks such as sheet metal, weldments, surfacing, and configurations. For this cart, the main stand was constructed as a weldment, using sheet metal tools for the legs. The body of the monitor was constructed using surfacing tools, then later modified in the assembly environment to add mounting features for the LCD screen. We were then asked to provide a few different configurations to include the basket and different positions for the table.
Weldment Project
This simple weldment project served as an introduction to the welding symbols and drawing conventions.
Stair Recreation
For this project, I was provided with a step file, and instructed to imagine that the company I was working for no longer had the legacy CAD data. My task was to accurately recreate the model. While I mostly used the measurement tools within SolidWorks, I also used the step model for reference. I made sure to break any dependencies and manually define everything, frequently suppressing the step file during the modeling process to avoid creating dependencies within my model but still having it available to check my work.
Pulley Frame
CADD 265 Mechanical Design Drafting was primarily focused on tolerances with the use of limit dimensions and different design symbols, such as surface finish, weld symbols, and GD&T. During this course we created models and technical drawings for a pulley assembly as a group, with different group members responsible for different parts to simulate working with files from other team members in a workplace environment. I was responsible for this pulley frame. It was mostly straightforward sketches and extrudes, with the exception being the elliptical loft for the side bars. In the drawing we were asked to show understanding of correctly using the limit dimensions and symbols.
