CAD software used - Fusion 360
Manufactured - 3D Printed and Laser Cut
Project Timespan - About 1 Month
Objective
Objective
We were tasked with making a mechanism design that takes in 1 input and outputs 2 different movements
Design Process
Design Process
We split the work in this project with my groupmates designing the box that would be 3D printed and I worked on the other parts including the entire mechanism process.
We got to work making the designs in Fusion and putting them all into an assembly.
IMG_7422.movWhile creating a motion link to see if our mechanical movements will work we encountered a problem.
Our design needed one full rotation of the rotational joint for the vertical translation movement to move 2 cycles (up and down).
Motion link in Fusion only allowed us to complete 1 cycle of the horizontal movement with 1 cycle of the rotational movement.
I came up with an idea to solve this by utilizing motion study in Fusion which allowed us to individually plot different positions and degrees of rotation.
Manufacturing The Parts
Manufacturing The Parts
We decided to laser cut the box and 3D print the other parts including the mechanical part

Final Product
We used acrylic glue for the final assemble and we only needed one cut and one print for this project. This project was helpful because I learned some of the rules involved when designing parts that will be laser cut versus 3D printed. It taught me to always be mindful of the manufacturing process when designing components.
