Integrated Design Project 1A-2024-2025
Supplementary Assignment-Design Project
Introduction
The aim of this assignment is to develop your engineering design skills using CAD software. It is worth 60% of the overall module mark.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of undertaking this assignment you should be able to:
Use creativity to produce innovative designs
Manage the design process from idea to CAD design
Use CAD software to design engineering components
Prepare a general arrangement drawing
Prepare a detailed component drawing
Reflect on the inclusivity and accessibility of your design
Design Brief
You are required to design a simple pneumatic actuator using Fusion 360 Computer Aided Design software. You can select your design from one of the following designs:
You are required to produce a full design so that the volumetric dimensions are 550 mm x 300 mm as you wish. You will need to specify appropriate materials. The middle section should include the x 250 mm. You are free to choose dimensions of all the other parts. You can also change the shape frame. design and the yoke design as it is shown in the following figure.
Submission details
Only the following should be submitted:
· 1 page University of Birmingham Assessment and Feedback Student Template (see canvas)
· 1 page hand sketching of the assembly providing general dimensioning.This must be clearly legible or will not be marked.
· an engineering drawing of the assembly in 3d angle projection which includes all essential parts(1-page A4 maximum)
· an engineering drawing of the assembly in isometric projection which includes all essential parts(1-page A4 maximum)
· detail engineering drawings,in 3 angle projection,of two different parts (1-page A4 maximum for each part).You can select two different parts between frame,yoke,spring, casing,power cylinder or spring cartridge.
· 1 page Reflection piece(max 300 word)on the inclusivity and accessibility of your design and how it can be improved.
