... ContinuedBracelet
Create a bracelet using SolidWorks. Calculating the volume in a design environment allows the designer to determine the overall dimensions of the product and the amount of material required to manufacture the product. Lesson Plan: Download Bracelet_Mathab2.doc Download Bracelet-STEM-RevC.pdf
... ContinuedCreating Hinge Parts using SolidWorks
In this lesson the students are challenged to disassemble a typical 3 1/2" hinge, apply measuring tools and skills to determine the part sizes, create dimensioned and annotated freehand sketch of each part, then create the parts using SolidWorks. Contributed
... ContinuedMating parts to achieve rotary, linear, and oscillating motions in a multi-part simple engine
Given a static display of the final assembly, assemble the parts files to match. Add mating conditions which will allow for the required motions. Finally, using the simulation tools display the total assembly in motion. Contributed by William Lindsay, North
... ContinuedProduction Engineering using SolidWorks
In this lesson, students assess and apply problem solving and design methods for developing solutions to manufacturing problems. They develop a manufacturing process by identifying process methods and plan the sequence of operations needed to fabricate and assemble a product.
