So far, you’ve applied DFM principles to redesign parts so that they are manufacturable by
milling and turning without considering function. You’ve also redesigned assemblies and
constituent parts to be optimized for assembly while considering function, without considering
manufacturing. In the final project, you’ll combine the DFA and DFM to redesign a drone
airframe.

Uploaded, you’ll find a .ZIP file which contains a set of assemblies, parts, and a Bill of Materials
(BOM). The master assembly, titled Master_Assembly.sldasm, and references other assemblies
(subassemblies) which contain parts. Note that this is a “dumb” assembly filled with “dumb”
solids, and is thus unconstrained, just like you’d download it from the drone manufacturer’s
website (just like this model was). It is recommended that you constrain or reassemble the
airframe prior to beginning your analyses. The original model has been de-featured and re-
coloured for your convenience. Note that the colour coding does not respond to the material, it is
just to be used as a visual aid. Part files are named according to the part number in the BOM.

Your task is to optimize the assemblability of the airframe while ensuring all parts are either
turnable, millable, or planar (for laser or waterjet cutting, sharp corners & edges allowed, max
thickness of 5mm). You may not change the overall dimensions of the drone. The maximum
linear dimension of any individual part is 375mm to comply with your manufacturer’s
capabilities (i.e. must fit in a 375x375x375mm box). Any holes or cut-outs within a specific
component need to remain there in your redesigned part. Do not need to concern yourselves with

weight, cost, or strength. You need to apply the correct tolerance type, but you must use a value
of 150 μm.

Your drawing packages must include all the necessary pages and views required to manufacture
your designed assembly, an exploded view, and a BOM, for the revised design only.

Note: There are many ways to do this assignment “correctly.” Experiment and be creative.

No assistance will be given in modelling this part, but questions regarding drawing interpretation
may be answered.

You may discuss the assignment, but submissions are individual. If students are found to
plagiarize, they will receive a 0% on their assignment and held accountable to appropriate
McGill policies.

Late submissions will be penalized 2 points per day, and will not be accepted 3 days after due.

Incorrectly submitted or named assignments will be penalized 2 points or treated as “late” if not
enough information is provided to identify the assignment.
