CAD Solidworks Tutorials:
The syringe(s) will be provided for you. Alternatively you can use the following-
BD 30ml syringe Ref 302832
Assignments should be turned in using a PDF format as an engineering drawing (with measurements) with at least 3 views per part.
Lesson 1
Introduction (before really digging into CAD, it is highly recommend you do an engineering drawing by hand)
-Videos: “SOLIDWORKS for 3D Design”, “SOLIDWORKS Intuitive User Interface”,
“Design Unit Systems and Drafting Standards”
-Tasks Learned:
- Draw a 2D profile as a sketch in sketch mode
- Finish and save the sketch (and understand when in sketch mode and when not)
- Learn how to fully dimension sketch without over-dimensions
-Helpful video using revolve here
-Helpful video on center lines here
3D Part Extrusion, Circle, Boss
-Videos: “Model Views, Orientation, and Displays”, “Creating your first 3D Model”,
“Inserting your first 3D Feature”, “Adding Cylinders with Circle and Boss Feature”
-Tasks Learned:
- Extrude/revolve the sketch to make a 3D object
- Creation of image with correct dimensions
-Designs Due: 3D cylinders for basic structure of syringe (with correct dimensions of average syringe)
Lesson 2
3D Part Cutting, Fillet
-Videos: “Cutting Holes with the Extrude Cut Tool”, “Rounding Edges with the Fillet Tool”
-Tasks Learned:
- Create sketches on other existing surfaces
- Cutting away with extrude tool
- Rounding edges with fillet tool
- Revolving tool
-Designs Due: 3D cylinder of main body of syringe cut away to create hollow cylinder, fillet all edges for design/ production purposes, use revolve tool to create one or more of the parts of the syringe
-Helpful video on fillet – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdhio0vG6Uo
3D Part Shelling, Editing, Defining a Plane
-Videos: “Hollow Out at Constant Thickness with the Shell Tool”, “Making Changes to a Part”
-Tasks Learned:
- Shelling at constant thickness
- Define a reference plane on the current object (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Dl51ifRF38)
- Draw a cylinder on a new plane (useful for drawing the tip of the syringe)
- Editing part after creation
-Designs Due: Edit last design of cut-away cylinders with Extrusion tool; shell cylinders in syringe design to make hollow (Shell tool); create remaining parts of the syringe using prior knowledge
Lesson 3
-Videos: “Creating your first 3D assembly”, “Techniques to form a 3D assembly”,
“Inserting an exploded view of the windmill rotor model”, “Motor animation and camera fly by tour”
-Tasks Learned:
- Creating a 3D animation
- Mating of parts
- Creating an exploded view of an assembly
- Motor animation and possibilities with SOLIDWORKS
-Design Due: Final assembly in drawing mode, at least three views, label the parts with dimensions, and label the final part. Print out and submit to David Chen’s mailbox.
