Mechanical Engineering Department DJF41042 - CADCAM Practical Task 1 SESSION 2: 2022/2023

This document outlines a practical task completed in Autodesk Inventor Pro 2023. The task involved sketching and dimensioning a 3D object using CAD tools. Several issues were encountered during the task due to unfamiliarity with the software interface. Recommendations to improve future tasks include providing more practice time with the CAD/CAM software, conducting additional tutorial sessions, and ensuring students are well briefed on task requirements and software functions. The goals of developing engineering design skills and technical writing were accomplished through completing the practical task and documentation.

PRACTICAL TASK 1

SESSION 2 : 2022/2023

DTP4B

LECTURER :
TUAN MOHAMAD NAZRI B. ABD HALIM

STUDENT :
MUHAMMAD SYAHIR BIN ZAKARIA

I. INTRODUCTION
Throughout the history of our industrial society, many invention has been patented and
whole new technologies has evolved. CAD/CAM stand for Computer Aided
Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing which is required a high speed chipset of computer
to run. This software is mainly used in designing and manufacturing industry. CAD/CAM
involves all processes of conceptualizing, designing, analysing, prototyping and actual
manufacturing with computer assistance. The product will be enhanced greatly with A.I.
Furthermore, increasing its quality and reduced the production time. CAD is defined as the
application of computer and graphic software to aid or enhance the product from
conceptualizing to documentation while CAM is defined as the effective use computer
technology and manufacturing and planning control.

II. OBJECTIVE
 To be able to sketch object in 2D and 3D using correct dimension.
 To be able to measure the dimensioning of an object using correct annotation.
 To apply basic Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing
knowledge.
 To use step by step processes from the beginning of sketching an object.
 To actually complete a task to show that skill in using CAD/CAM has been developed.

III. PROCEDURE
1. Open the Autodesk Inventor Pro 2023, create new file, click metric folder and then
choose the metric file.
2. Then click Start 2D Sketch and use the XZ plane to start sketching.

3. Starting point at (0,0) and then firstly sketch a rectangular with 120 length and 90
width. Then, put a point at (8,-18) and (16,-10) to make the drawing of second
rectangular easier. After that, draw the second rectangular inside the first one.
4. After finished, draw a circle with 15 radius at the both side endpoint of the second
rectangular. Then trim the unwanted part until it became arc.

5. Next, draw two line 15 cm to the right and 15 cm to the left with the point of (70.-
60).
6. After that, draw lines with 150.95 degree on both side at the end of the two 15 cm
lines. Then just draw two straight line up starting at (8,-18) and (8,-102) also make
sure that the 150.95 degree line on both side overlap with the lines. So the corner
can be create using chamfer on both side with 12 radius.

7. Then, place a point at (39,-60) and draw a square with 35.4 cm width and length.
8. After that click the rotate ribbon and rotate the square using the (39.-60) as the
centerpoint with 45 degree. Then, chamfer every corner of the square with 4 radius.

9. Furthermore, extrude every layer of rectangular using the length given.

10.
11. Moreover, start a new sketch on the center of 45 degree square hole.

12. Then draw a circle with 28 cm diameter at the (39,-60) as the centerpoint. After that,
place a point exactly below straight line at the of the circle.

13.
14. Then, rotate the point using circular pattern with 4 point and finish sketch.

15. Furthermore, click the hole option at modify ribbon and it will automatically select
all the four point just now. Choose the countersink hole and adjust it diameter.

16.
17. Lastly the workpiece is done.

18. Additionally, create a new file using ISO.IDW folder. Then click Base so the workpiece
will appear. Then adjust it view and scale. Use the front view to make an
orthographic view.
19. Then choose annotate ribbon and click the Ordinate. Then select the view and delete
rest of the unwanted part.

20. After that select the place view ribbon at click at the section. Select the view and the
cross section view of the workpiece will appear.
21. Finally the Practical Task is done and fill the required information in the tittle block.

IV. RESULT AND DISCUSSION


There were a couple of problems that I faced during this Practical Task. Several of them
were due to my unfamiliarity to the new interface of Autodesk Inventor Pro 2023. It took
me a little to familiarize myself and understand. The more I used each time, the more
comfortable I became with the software.
The second problem that I faced was related to the task instruction. It is difficult to pull the
necessary dimensions out of it especially the curve angle. To overcome this problem, I recall
all of the knowledge I gained from CAD 3 class to apply in this task.

V. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION


The goals of this practical task were to further develop engineering manufacturing skills by
introducing new tools and software, as well as testing the old ones in more advanced and
efficient ways.  It was also to improve technical writing and IT site creation ability.  I believe
that I have accomplished all of these goals very well.
These are the recommendations that can be used to improve the efficiency of the task:

I. Make sure that students can practice the CAD/CAM by having an appropriate software.
II. Conduct further lectures to guide students on how to use the CAD/CAM software.
III. Ensure that students are briefed about the task that will be conducted earlier.
IV. Use all of the ribbon and constrain provided by the software.
