Final Project

Week 2

My idea of project is to simulate an industrial process, raw material input and make a tour so you can understand the different stages. So initially, I experimented with the SketchUp drawing software workbench that is where you stay or would support all elements of the process.

As progress was drawing with this software I came to realize that it is a basic tool ideal for architectural designs but just kept going with my design to where I could feel a little limited by the complexity of the design.

Had the idea of working with pistons for my process, then I realized it was not appropriate

I started drawing the lifting elements such as buckets which are the elements that will be in charge of collecting the material

After the elements that make up my lift system such as wheels, girdles, receiving tray material.

The process material must be stored in small trays so I designed the box as I show in the figure.

Here I show my idea from another perspective project, which of course differ with my final project but it started with this design. As I mentioned earlier as I went forward with the design I realized that the SketchUp software was not appropriate for what I wished back to this drawing started exploring the Inventor software.
