Train
Introduction:
In this project, we built a model train and learned how to make new constraints to the design of an object's shape. That said, new shapes were able to be made thanks to the new techniques. This train project also allowed us to be able to use detailed (or section) views in new and different ways.
Conclusion:
1. Why are drawings composed of different line conventions?
Drawings are composed of different line conventions in order to allow certain areas to be seen (such as holes and how deep they go in).
2. What is the purpose of a sectional view?
The purpose of a sectional view is to allow for a more detailed (and close up) view of a specific area of a part.
3. What is the purpose of an auxiliary view?
The purpose of an auxiliary view is to allow for an angled view of a side of an object. This gives the object depth and perception.
4. Why are symbols used instead of words to identify hole types?
Symbols are more precise than words when it comes to identifying hole types.
5. What advantages is there to using algebraic equations instead of numerical values when defining the dimensions of a CAD model?
Algebraic equations make it easier to scale.
6. What three types of constraints can be applied to CAD sketches or models?
Geometrical Constraints
Numerical Constraints
Symmetrical Constraints
7. What advantages do CAD drawings have over paper sketches?
CAD drawings are quicker and easier to make than paper sketches. They are also more efficient (by that I mean precise) and detailed.
