This is a second week assignment for the Fab Academy 2018.

The software I have used

I was so excited to use new softwares for 2D & 3D and to be able to learn to use new softwares. the 4 software I have used which are:

solidworks tutorial

I have started working with Solidworks which has great tutorial to lead you through what you need to do for parts, assembly& drawing.

If you tag help and choose Solidworks tutorial will take you to the guide shown on the right side

1.Click New
2.In the New SOLIDWORKS Document dialog box double click Part.
3.Click Save
4.In the dialog box, type Tutor1 for File name
5.Click Save.

1. Click Extruded Boss/Base
2.Select a plane
3.Click Corner Rectangle
4.Move the pointer to the sketch origin
5.Click the origin and drag the pointer up and to the right. Notice that it displays the current dimensions of the rectangle

1.Click Extruded Boss/Base
2.Click Normal

Click Circle

Click near the center of the face and move the pointer to sketch a circle

Click Smart Dimension

Move the pointer outside the model to see the current dimension

Set the value to 70

Click Extruded Cut
Click Normal
Click Circle
Click Smart Dimension and set the diameter of the hole to 50

Click Fillet
Under Fillet Type, click Constant Size Fillet
Under Fillet Parameters
Select the four edges at the corners of the base
As you select each edge, its name is added to Edges, Faces, Features and Loops

Click Rotate View
Click Shell
Under Parameters, set Thickness to 2

Click Trimetric

I have followed the steps so I have finalized all from the parts to drawings as shown above

I highly recommend that Solidworks tutorials to be used by all as he/she will learn a lot and facilitate the work

I did my first part for my final project on Solidworks which is the Funnel

plane before loft

First I created two parallel planes

2d sketch loft

Then I have made a sketch in 2D a circle then I used loft to complete it.

lofted cut

Then I sleeted the 2 drawings I used loft cut

extrude after loft

Then I extruded the rectangle to add a holder to connect the funnel to the pipe

clamp extrude

Then I drew half a circle and I used boss/extrude on both directness and added the by drawing a rectangle and extrude

clamp circle cut

chamfering_plane

When I created the clamp there was an extra material so I used chamfer to remove it

chamfering section view

Then I added holes for screws as seen .I did that by drawing a circle and cut extrude it

holes

Parametric

Download Funnel Design

(AutoCad)

It's the first time for me to use AutoCAd I started drawing 2D modelling for a box which will be connected by joints. I have viewed many tutorials on YouTube which was very helpful. AutoCAd is cool as you can find the by making search for the command you are going to use.

basic

I started with a rectangular base and I gave it the following Dimensions 22.cm* 23.cm

Darw

Then I started to draw the hinges with 4.5cm*0.78 as shown

Trim

Then I have to trim the excess so I used the command trim as shown

selecit

To make sure that my dimensions are correct so I used scale

after mirror

I have made a re-drawing the hinges .I chose to mirror them as shown

Mirror

rotate

To draw the hinges from left to right I copied the one I made then I rotated them 90 degrees

error

I wanted to mirror from the right to the left but I perceived that there was an error .The two lines at the top left corner were not connected so I used to fillet command to connect them

undo

after mirror

Then i mirrored it again and it work it

all right

To make the other face i selected everything and i copied it

The other sides of the box are to be continued next week for laser cutting

I have started using fusion 360 from Autodesk; also I have reviewed some tutorials on the YouTube. I found that the interface on the fusion 360 is helpful and can be adopted quickly and it is biometric software so I prefer to use it. I’ll start drawing a door for my Ultimaker 3 extended. Iwll use acrylic 3 mm thickness materials to laser cut it. Processes are explained bellow:
