Eng Design(L12) Assembly Models with Autodesk Fusion
Assembly Modelling
In an assembly model, multiple parts are combined to represent a complete product. Using CAD software, it helps teams collaborate and verify that all components fit and function together correctly.
Sustainability
Smarter Product Design: Virtual testing helps spot issues early, avoiding flawed prototypes and material waste.
Fewer Prototypes: Simulations reduce the need for multiple physical models, saving resources and cost.
Efficient Manufacturing: Virtual assembly lowers errors in production, reducing waste, speeding up workflow, and cutting environmental impact.
How Assembly Modelling in CAD Works
Assembly starts with a base component, then other parts are added and positioned relative to it using assembly joints. In software like Autodesk Fusion, parts can be built and assembled in one file. Other CAD programs use separate part files and a main assembly file to combine them.
Types of Joints
Rigid
Revolute
Slider
Cylindrical
Pin Slot
Planar
Ball
Product Assembly
involves putting together individual parts to form a complete, functional product. It's crucial in manufacturing for ensuring quality, reducing costs, and scaling production. Key factors include accurate part dimensions and tolerances. Common examples include assembling bicycles or furniture.
