As a test of an engineer's Computer Aided Design (CAD) ability, Pump Studios provides its employees with a part to model. The part was originally designed by Pump Studios and has 3 separate parts. This project is provided as it demonstrates top-down modeling, draft incorporation , separate part fit, advanced surfacing techniques, and overall design for manufacturing.
July 2019
Since the part will be modeled with a top down approach, a skeleton model that contained the critical features of the part was created.
As the provided part would be manufactured with injection molding, draft must be incorporated into the model.
The fitment of the three separate parts will need to be confirmed and screw holes must align.
The part required a unique shape to be formed that involved advanced surfacing techniques.
