Mechanical engineering uni project (slrpnk.net)

I'm a mechanical engineering student with a fairly open brief for a short project. Have to draw a 3D cad model of a mechanism and do some motion analysis. So i thought i'd ask the fine folk of slrpnk if they had any projects that need a bit of ironing out.

Probably best suited if you have an idea and want see how the parts might move in 3 dimensions. I'd be able to tell you stuff like how much force/torque is in a particular part, letting you know how strong bits need to be.

Has to be a mechanism of some sort that i draw from scratch - let me know what dimensions i need to accomodate. And i have to present it to the class.

What kind of material and size limitations are there?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Any material, the software i'll be using has some basic material properties built-in, but theres room for customisation.

Size limitations - any sort of dimensions. Complexity - i could probably do a few mechanisms that are less than maybe 5-10 parts. Or else one large, say less than 50.
