Project 8 1c Miniature Train

This document provides instructions for a project to model parts for a miniature train assembly using CAD software. It includes a purpose statement, list of required equipment, modeling procedures, and dimensional drawings of 10 individual train parts along with assembly drawings. The goals of the project are to develop modeling skills and efficient communication through CAD. Students will create 3D models of the specified train parts, applying tolerances to the dimensions and techniques learned in previous lessons.

Project 8.1c Miniature Train


Purpose
Have you ever ridden on a train or owned a train set? The parts that make up the
engine car on a train can vary depending on the make and model; however, all train
engine cars have parts that are similar.
Collecting miniature trains or small replica versions of full size trains is a popular
hobby for all ages. Some train collectors showcase their collection for everyone to
see. They even build small scale towns and background scenery that trains run
through while in the showcase. It is evident the time and detail that many train
enthusiasts spend and create to make the showcase come to life.
Being able to read dimensioned drawings of an object is an important engineering
skill. Understanding how to transpose these drawings into computer models of parts
is also important. As you have learned in previous lessons, a sketch serves as the
foundation for all the technical work that comes afterward. Being able to perform this
technical work is an obvious must. Relaying this technical work correctly is a skill
that allows a group of people to function as a design team.

Equipment
Computer with 3D CAD solid modeling program
Printer
Engineers notebook

Procedure
This project will provide you with an opportunity to further develop your modeling
skills, as well as your ability to use the computer as an efficient communication tool.
What you learned in the past two lessons will be systematically applied to this
project.
In this project, you will model the parts needed for the Miniature Train Assembly. The
parts with the dimensions are listed below.

Conclusion
1. Why are drawings composed of different line conventions?

2. What is the purpose of a sectional view?

3. What is the purpose of an auxiliary view?

4. Why are symbols used instead of words to identify hole types?

5. What advantage is there to using algebraic equations instead of numerical values


when defining the dimensions of a CAD model?

6. What three types of constraints can be applied to CAD sketches or models?
