Part Modelling teaches you how to construct a detailed sketch using simple geometric entities, dimension, constrain the geometry, and make a 2D technical drawing. Part modelling is essential in understanding CAD software since it incorporates the terminology, basic design concepts, and procedures. I learned how to use simple and advanced features, including extrude, sweeps, cuts, holes, slots, and slices, to create a 3D model from a 2D engineering drawing.
The following models were designed using 2D Engineering Drawing. Click here to access source of each model.
30-degree adaptor was designed and rendered. The adaptor can be used for any cooling water system since it offers tension-free laying of the tube. The angle allows it to reach those hard-to-reach corners.
The model was designed by using different features and constraints, including extrude, offset, tangent constraint.
Crank arm was designed and rendered. It is used as the levers to which the bike pedals are attached.
Power cable extension was designed and rendered. Electrical cable can be connected on one end while the other end connected with a wall socket.
Drilling rig wheel is a piece of equipment in massive drilling rigs used to drill water wells, oil wells, and natural gas extraction wells.
Chemical mixer blade can often be found in use in the food industry, distilling, and where tote mixing applied.
Lever mount was designed and rendered. This can be used in numerous types of equipment ranging from household, industrial and commercial.
Machine handle is a type of lever made up of a beam or rigid rod that is pivoted at a fixed hinge or fulcrum and can rotate on a point on its own. It is used to transfer auxiliary machinery manually.
Safety guard clamp is a fastening mechanism that uses internal pressure to keep or lock items securely together to prevent movement or separation.
CAM holder was designed for the model to be placed in it for CNC machining.
The model was designed by using features including extrude, sweep, revolve project, mirror and offset plane.
Pin fixture is used for controlled, fine tolerance positioning of a work piece.
These 42 shapes employ various part-modelling techniques, of which most have been designed by using one sketch only.
