This prosthetic hand project was made in Fundamentals of Engineering course. We took a look at several samples of prosthetic arms and hand and made our own final model using Creo Parametric, a printing software, and a 3D printer. We used all of the techniques learned throughout the semester to create the cup holder, arm support and multi-use hand to assist the disabled in their everyday life.

This is a belt drive assembly created in solidworks. The blueprint was already given so I had to create each piece of the assembly from scratch. A belt drive is a mechanical system used to transmit power between rotating shafts. It consists of three main components: A belt, pulley, and adjusters. They are used in machinery, automotive engines, and other applications because they are cost-effective, smooth, and relatively quiet.

These are samples of the first drawings that I have done with AutoCAD in Computer Simulation course. We have also done various modeling softwares accompanying this where we add this model and apply it to the 3D space.

These are prototype models that is created using Creo Parametric and SolidWorks. The Finned Tube and the Saw blade originate from our homework and project.

The simluations above are done in ANSYS, which is a software where we can do any type of chemical, physical analysis on an object. It can predict its stresses, temperature, deformation, strains, airflow and how the object is going to behave under these conditions. While in ANSYS, I obtained the 3D model from Creo and SolidWorks and apply these conditions. First, I added temperature and stress equations. Next, I selected the face(location) of where it would react. Then, the software would generate the distribution of heat/deformation. Lastly, the results would give us the magnitude based on the shape, material, and size of the object.

Lastly, these are more projects that I have done in a Mechanical Engineering Technology course. The software we used was Autodesk Inventor. In this course, we look at third angle views, 3D models, and do manual drafting and reverse engineer it. This helps us know the ins and outs of the general engineering field.
