Mechanical Design

 

 

Assignment:

 

The assignment for this is week as a group project is to design a mechanical machine with automation including end effector build the passive parts and operate manually. Also, it is required to document our mechanical design as a group and as individuals.

 

 

Our Team:

 

Our Group Design:

 

As a group we decided to design and program a tool in which we can find find any item in our multi drawer and cabinet. Also we decided to use second hand stepper motors. The parts we are going to use is to made the other parts  by using the 3D printing.

 

 

My Contribution for this week:

 

It is required for us to to design 6 bearings to support the smooth  rod in which the stepper motor if design right will move up and down.

 

 

 

My role is to convert the file in reelvsion from STL file to f-code and print the bearing in the 3D printer.

 

Printing the Bearings:

 

The bearings were designed by using Onshape by my colleague and apply  different radius to find the proper  radius to support the rods.

 

 

I have received the STL file from my colleague to print the parts using the 3D printer. I used the reelvision program as I did in week 5  so that the 3D printer can read the file I must convert it to F-code.
