Course: Computer-Aided Design (MKT-1111)
Instructor: Assoc. Prof. Mehmet Selçuk ARSLAN
Software: SolidWorks
Focus: Assembly modeling, standard component selection, technical drawings
Status: Completed
This project focuses on analyzing an existing mechanical assembly, accurately modeling all non-standard components, integrating standard parts from the SolidWorks Toolbox, and producing engineering-compliant technical drawings.
The final outcome is a fully constrained and functional assembly that includes a provided industrial actuator and selected standard components, modeled and documented according to engineering drawing standards.
- Analyze a given assembly using measurement tools
- Model all non-standard components from scratch
- Integrate standard components using SolidWorks Toolbox
- Assemble all parts with correct mates and constraints
- Prepare technical drawings for selected custom parts
The provided assembly was examined using measurement tools to determine precise dimensions and relationships between components.
All non-standard parts were individually modeled with attention to geometry accuracy and proper fit within the assembly.
Key considerations during modeling:
- Dimensional accuracy
- Part relationships and tolerances
- Assembly compatibility
Standard mechanical components such as fasteners and bearings were selected directly from the SolidWorks Toolbox library.
✔ No standard components were modeled manually
✔ All selections comply with standard dimensions and usage
This ensured both realism and adherence to professional CAD practices.
A pre-defined Festo cylinder assembly was incorporated into the final model as provided.
- The component was used without modification
- Proper mates were applied to ensure correct motion and alignment
- Integrated seamlessly into the overall assembly structure
All modeled and standard components were assembled using appropriate mates and constraints to ensure a fully functional and interference-free assembly.
The final assembly opens without missing references and maintains correct mechanical relationships.
Technical drawings were prepared for four selected non-standard components designed in this project.
Each drawing includes:
- Multiple orthographic views
- Section and detail views where necessary
- Complete and standard-compliant dimensioning
- SolidWorks Part Modeling
- Assembly Mates & Constraints
- Toolbox Standard Components
- Engineering Drawing Standards
- Section & Detail Views
- Dimensional Tolerancing
- All non-standard parts were modeled manually based on measured data
- Standard components were sourced exclusively from SolidWorks Toolbox
- The assembly was verified to open correctly without missing files
