Basic Assembly

In this assignment, Students worked on the making of a Basic Assembly activity. This activity was used to teach students how to fully assemble parts to an object whether many constraint tools were felt in use such as mate, flush, or edge. The constraints were brought into consideration to define the realtionship between the geometry of certain individual parts! students were also taught how to remove an object's DOF--or degrees of freedom to fully constrain a component!

Driving Constraints

For this work, students were asked to create a "driving Constraint"--in other words, a modeled gearshaft. Now, you can imagine this activity being rather easy--just insert all objects in place, but it is rather much difficult! The gearshaft introduced students many new and different tools that seemed unknown to all in the class! Likewise, the Gearshaft itself had to be driven--in other words, it had to function as its gearshaft moved the rack placed below.

Model Features

Sketching is very fun. But what tips the icing of the cake would be sketching 3D Model Sketches! Serving

3-dimensional sketches serves the viewer with its complete view of an object rather than just a flat surface itself. 3D provides an image/object as a whole rather than as a part, it provides depth to show its full functionality and secret parts that are inevidable to the viewer within the use of a 2D Sketch instead. In this work, students were able to experience a new way of sketching--in 3D! They used primarily commom 3D models to further expand their knowldge on the factor to practice how to create these models the way designers do. students used various Inventor Program Tools such as extrusions, pattern tools, embossing, and etc...This work gave students a new way to enjoy and reap the benefits of the program by having fun and learning various tools at the same time!
