12. Mechanical Design & Machine Design¶
Assignment¶
Please note documentation is incomplete and will be updated ASAP
Mechanical Design - Group Assignment - design a machine that includes mechanism+actuation+automation+application - build the mechanical parts and operate it manually - document the group project and your individual contribution
Machine Design - Group Assignment - actuate and automate your machine - document the group project and your individual contribution
Tools Used at 3DEXPERIENCE Lab at Dassault Systèmes¶
Software¶
Materials¶
-
Clear 3mm Acrylic
-
Screws, Variety of Sizes
-
Three Stepping Motors
-
Arduino
-
Board for Motor
Goal¶
Create a kit that could be used in a classroom. Specifically, a broject that could be created together from a distance, and in FOUR Hours.
ReMix the Sphero into a classroom kit¶
What is a Sphero?
What we did?¶
We divided the creation into three parts.
- Mechanical
- Electronics
- Software
This week I worked on creating a case in Fusion 360 that contained motors, and boards.
The thinking is that each level is the same design and can be used to:
-
attach to the next level using a screw and bolt,
-
mount motors on the edge of a level, and
-
mount the Arduino Board to a level.
The total design would include two pieces:
1. The Base
2. The Motor Mount
In class learners can assemble the machine themselves, and lasercut: wheels, weights, and etc. Additionally, extra holes are added to the base to allow for including a pen/paint brush. And, multiple motors can be attached if learners would like to play, and explore further.
