Machine Drawing 3D Designs
While I was in high school, I opted a course in Engineering Drawing, which required a mini - drafter to sketch parts on an A3 sheet. I fell in love with the course and it increase my interest in 3D modeling ten-fold.
We were provided with 2D and/or isometric sketches of different joints, bolts, pulleys etc. I have attached screenshots of the drafts along with screenshots of the 3D models below.
Using the 2D sketches as a guide, I was able to complete the design in Solidworks.
The following parts in order, from left to right are:
-
Flanged Coupling
-
Solid Flat Pulley (Straight Arm)
-
Solid Flat Pulley (Disc Type)
-
Foot Step Bearing
-
Open Bearing
-
Knuckle Joint
-
Socket and Spigot Joint
-
Gib and Cotter Joint
There are many more parts which I have not got around to completing yet. Once I do, I will update this page accordingly.
All images and sketches along with the completed solidworks files are available in this mega folder here.
