By the end of this book you will have modeled and assembled nearly all the parts that make up the TAMIYA ® Mechanical Tiger and can start building your own robot.
There are many books that show you how to perform individual tasks with SOLIDWORKS, but this book takes you through an entire project and shows you the complete engineering process. Being able to turn your designs into physical objects will open up a whole new world of possibilities to you. You will learn the general principles of 3D printing including a brief history of 3D printing, the types of 3D printing technologies, commonly used filaments, and the basic procedure for printing a 3D model. You will finish off your project by creating 3D animations of your robot in action.įinally, in the last chapter, the author introduces you to 3D printing. In the second to last chapter of this book you learn how to combine all the robot parts into assemblies and then run motion analysis.
Using the knowledge you gained about linkages and mechanisms, you will learn how to modify your robot and change its behavior by modifying or creating new parts. You will learn the basic types of planar four-bar linkages commonly used in mechanical designs and how to use the GeoGebra Dynamic Geometry software to simulate and analyze 2D linkages. This book continues by examining the different mechanisms commonly used in walking robots. Also included is coverage of gears, gear trains and spur gear creation using SOLIDWORKS. You will also become familiar with many of SOLIDWORKS's powerful tools and commands that enable you to easily construct complex features in your models. You will start by learning to model simple robot parts and before long you will graduate to creating more complex parts and multi-view drawings.Īlong the way you will learn the fundamentals of parametric modeling through the use of geometric constraints and relationships.
The author begins by getting you familiar with the SOLIDWORKS interface and its basic tools right away. No previous experience with Computer Aided Design (CAD) is needed since this book starts at an introductory level. You will learn to model parts, create assemblies, run simulations and even create animations of your robot design.
This book features a simple robot design used as a project throughout the book. This book will teach you everything you need to know to start using SOLIDWORKS 2017 with easy to understand, step-by-step tutorials.
