Aims
This module will focus on single component part modelling. The key aim is to develop a range of advanced solid modelling and surface feature skills that can be applied to real-world products with complex geometry.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply hybrid modelling techniques to create geometry using BOTH solid modelling and surface tools
2.
Reverse engineer existing products by selecting and applying the most appropriate tools
3.
Design a component that can be manufactured using a forming process, along with its associated tooling
4.
Critically evaluate the modelling process, using storyboard methods to document specific features applied
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Surface Modelling
• The surface “analogues” of solid modelling tools: surface extrude; surface revolve; surface loft; surface sweep; etc
• Unique surface tools: offset surface; surface trim; surface thicken; boundary surface; etc
Design for Manufacture (Forming Processes)
• Use of advanced tools to create part geometry: multi degree-of-freedom lofts and sweeps; draft angles; shell features
• Part evaluation using “draft analysis”
• Use of intersection tools to generate tooling from an existing part
Reverse Engineering
• Feature identification, and correct selection of solid modelling and surface tools to produce geometry
• Documentation of the modelling process using “storyboard” methods
