CAD Part 2

CAD Part 2

During week 2's lesson, I've learnt about CAD using Fusion 360. I've learnt how to add parameters to make the creation of products much easier. I have created a phone stand by using this method which helped me with much efficiency.

Phone Stand
Adding Parameters


I listed the exact measurements for the sketch of my phone stand. This will make the sketching of my phone stand much more efficient and less time consuming as the measurements have been organized accordingly.

Sketching



I sketched by selecting the 'Line' option. I applied my parameters and adjusted to my preferred angles by selecting the 'Sketch Dimension' option.

Extrude


After finishing my sketch, I extruded to 100mm to bring my sketch to life! This wil also be the foundation of the phone stand.

Altering the base


In order to alter the shape of the phone stand, I toggled to the bottom base of the phone stand and created another sketch on it. I tilted the line 10 degrees towards the inner side. This is to prepare the shape of the sketch that I would like to cut out.

Cutting to desired shape


In order to do this, I clicked 'Split Face' under 'Modify' to select the parts that I want to cut out. This Split Face process will be show in the next picture.

Split Face


I repeated the same process for the back and front of the phone stand to retrieve my desired shape.

Finalised shape


This my final shape of the phone stand. This shape allows maximum stability when using it as the phone will add a weight to the holder of the phone stand.

Fillet


Under 'Solid', I selected 'Filet' to round up the edges for aesthetic purposes and to also make the sharp edges more blunt for safety purposes. I added a preferred radius of 6mm.

Slots

To make a slot so that the phone could be charged while in use, I selected 'centre-to-centre slot' under 'Sketch'. I selected a measurement of 15mm. I changed the bottom curve line of the oval shape to a construction line (not shown in picture) as it will not be part of the sketch.


Extruding the slot to cut

I extruded the slot so that I could expand it to the front and also be able to cut the holder part.

Thickness


I added a thickness of 1mm to maintain that sleek appearance but also thick enough to withstand the weight of the phone.

Fillet all edges

Lastly, I rounded all sharp edges that could potentially injure the user by using 'Fillet' to a radius of 1mm.

Final product :D

  FUSION 360 Fusion 360 is an application where you can create 3D sketches and designs which can be made to a real product through 3D printing. It consists of a myriad of features to create very specific shapes and designs. In the making of my name keyring using Fusion 360 Step 1 : In a new sketch, I selected 2-point rectangle and placed it onto the 'canvas' with measurements of 65mm by 25mm. Next, I selected offset of 2mm to the rectangle to create a spacing from the outline. Step 2 : I clicked fillet and applied it on the four corners with a 5mm radius to make them more rounded rather than being sharp. Step 3: I right clicked the line and selected the "Normal/Construction" option. Next, I defined a measurement of mm between the line and the outline. Step 4: I selected 'Point' and placed it in the middle of the line to pinpoint the preferred position of where I would like the whole of the keyring to be. After I have placed my point, I added a 5mm circle on th...

Hypothesis Testing

  Hypothesis Testing Group members:  Nander (Iron Man) Tzer (Thor) Ashwati (Captain America) Daryl (Hulk) Nikkisha (me, Black Widow) Full factorial data Fractional factorial data Iron Man to use Run 2 from FRACTIONAL factorial and Run 2 from FULL factorial. Thor will use Run 4 from FRACTIONAL factorial and Run 4 from FULL factorial. Captain America will use Run 5 from FRACTIONAL factorial and Run 5 from FULL factorial. Hulk will use Run 4 from FRACTIONAL factorial and Run 4 from FULL factorial. Black Widow (me) will use Run 7 from FRACTIONAL factorial and Run 7 from FULL factorial. The QUESTION The catapult (the ones that were used in the DOE practical) manufacturer needs to determine the consistency of the products they have manufactured. Therefore they want to determine whether CATAPULT A produces the same flying distance of projectile as that of CATAPULT B.   Scope of the test The human factor is assumed to be negligi...

HOME Ground Rules for Group 1 Everyone to contribute equally Everyone to be present for meetings and discussions Ask for help when in need Must be punctual for all meetings and discussions Everyone has to contribute own ideas when brainstorming Must acknowledge messages in group chats to improve communication Talk it out and solve when there is a problem Roles of Group Members Leader: Nikkisha Facilitator: Daryl Target setter: Benjamin   Self goals To be able to work with other teammates well I've faced difficulty to work well with my teammates especially when it comes to contributing equally. There has been cases where they chose not to contribute at all and it was extremely difficult for me to reach out and communicate especially when we were not physically together. For this semester, I would like to be more bonded with them in order to make them feel more comfortable which will make communication much more easier. I truly believe that good camaraderie plays a huge rol...
