WEEK 7

WEEK 7 We focused on learning how to create lofts. I found this to be very helpful as i struggled with making rounded objects before this week. We also had to create four models that then would be used in an assembly. These models were very difficult because of their angles. Lastly we were given a already made model of a tube, which we had to include our part from week 6 onto the already made model. This would end up looking like a bottle.

WEEK 4 - 6

WEEK 4 During this lesson we were taught various new methods too creating an object. These included the revolve, loft and sweep tool. This week I found it challenging to complete some of these tasks because of the complexity of some of the instructions. All together though it was a fun, knowledgeable experience. I found the last object to be confusing, as i ran out of attempts on my quiz, and had recreated the object multiple times to end up with the same mass. WEEK 5 For week 5, we had to construct our own A3 template for our objects. This template would show the drawing standard, a symbol of third angle projection, company name, name and date, and part properties. Four objects were created for this new template, to gain a deeper understanding of drawings and their functions.  WEEK 6 We were introduced to assemblies which showed us how to place objects together. This process is completed by lining up the objects in the ...

WEEK 1 For our first lecture, we discussed the course's structure, navigating the learn online website (for assessments, tutorials and links),  and the assessments that will need to be completed over the time of the course. For the practical side of the lesson, we were shown to solid works a 2D/3D building software. The tools allow you to work directly from 3D CAD data to create high-quality illustrations, photo realistic images, and to import design data. On the go-learn site, in the week 1 tab we were given a list of requirements to complete on the first week, this included setting up and managing folders, and gaining a basic understanding about solid works and what a part, assembly and sub assembly were. From reading and watching the tutorials i have learned how to navigate through solid works.   WEEK 2 In the second lesson we focused on learning how to use the tools which are involved with creating models in solid works.   These tools ...
