GD&T True Position
Position can be useful geometric tolerance in designing sports equipment. For example, properly locating the bolt clearance holes for a new snowboard binding base plate can assure correct assembly on the device and the interchangeability of different brands. Students will
... ContinuedGD&T Runout
Controlling runout is crucial to assure the function of rotating parts. For example, unless a proper runout is specified for a brake rotor, the rotating part may interfere with the other brake components (discs, pads, etc.), causing dangerous vibration during
... ContinuedGD&T DVD Flatness
Designing toys like Lego blocks require using very tight tolerances. Concepts such as the maximum material condition (MMC) and perpendicularity are crucial in assuring that the many types of Lego blocks will fit together. Sample Parts: Download 2-perpendicularity.zip
... ContinuedGD&T DVD Flatness
Flatness is an important concept in manufacturing a data storage device such as a DVD. If a specified flatness is not met during injection molding, the device may not read properly. Student will work through a series of questions to
... ContinuedPower Ball Gyroscopic Effects
Gyroscopic effects are in the origin of toys, such as yo-yo or spinning tops. A gyroscope is a three dimensional system having three spinning axis. Students will explre the gyroscope construction and model a 3D power ball assembly in SolidWorks.
... ContinuedBuild, Draw, Build
In this lesson wood, foam board, or cardboard is used to improve high school student’s visualization skills, understanding of the manufacturing processes, measurement, and safety. The student builds an abstract object from their drafting book. The builder then takes the
... ContinuedRecycled tic-tac LED flashlight assembly line
Students will develop an LED flashlight assembly line and address manufacturing standard, product design, impact on society by reducing waste with recycled parts, apply math, safety, tools & materials. This lesson was written for grade 8. Contributed by Bill Manser,
... ContinuedNeutral Buoyancy in an ROV
Archimedes’ Principle, an immersed object is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Students will learn to apply simple mathematical relationships to determine density from measuring mass and volume or water displacement. Students
... ContinuedGear Design
These exercises will assist students to apply algebra, geometry and trigonometry to create a spur gear, tapered gear and a gear assembly. There are three lessons that introduce the concept of a design that is controlled by geometry and
... ContinuedConcept Structures in Architecture
Students will design, draw and ultimately build a (form study) scale model concept structure of a “Las Vegas-type” building to help them realize how the design of a structure/building requires the interaction of style, convenience, efficiency, and safety. They will
... ContinuedPolygons with SolidWorks
This exercise will assist students in visualizing and discovering how to find the formula to figure the sum of the interior angles of an n-gon. For both algebra and geometry students for an exercise in discovery learning. Contributed by
... ContinuedSolidWorks and Bottle Rockets
As part of a school water rocket program, the students will be challenged to design a pop bottle piece that will be useful in the construction of a water rocket. In order to complete their task, basic measurement will be
... ContinuedSolidWorks Tutorials Lesson 3 Drawings
The SolidWorks application contains 30 + tutorials to assist you in developing an understanding of the SolidWorks user interface and functionality. The SolidWorks STEM Course videos correspond to the introductory SolidWorks Tutorials. Lesson 3 describes the creating the SolidWorks sheet
... ContinuedGD&T and SolidWorks
GD&T has also been a challange to create exercises that illustrate part examples that students can relate to. Based on an integrated learning approach, this paper takes you through examples in SolidWorks that apply GD&T where students can see the
... ContinuedSolidWorks Tutorials Lesson 2 Assemblies
The SolidWorks application contains 30 + tutorials to assist you in developing an understanding of the SolidWorks user interface and functionality. The SolidWorks STEM Course videos correspond to the introductory SolidWorks Tutorials. Lesson 2 describes the SolidWorks using the Offset
