Assignment Semester 2 Design Report (Portfolio) Mechanical Design 4MA018
The assignment is to create a design report, testing your CAD skills, understanding of tolerances limits, and fits. Review and research the traditional manual mechanical whisk shown below. Analyze the design and create a new (manual) design improving the design, specifically the ergonomics. Ensure your design has a mechanical movement.
Note: you do not need to model the existing design only your improved design.
The Design Report should include:
- Design report should include description of each part and research to include:
- use,
- material properties,
- using knowledge from Engineering Practice and your research, your thoughts on possible manufacturing and assembly methods.
- Discussion on the part features,
All parts, assemblies and drawings must be created on Solidworks Student edition 2017
