Lab Manual 5

The document provides instructions for drawing a propeller model using SolidWorks 2015. Students will first revolve a sketch to create the propeller hub. They will then loft two sketches and apply various fillets and patterns to create the propeller blades. Finally, an extruded cut will create a hole in the hub. The end result will be a completed propeller model with customized colors.

IME-364L CAD/CAM Lab

Lab Manual 6
Title
To draw model objects using Loft command.

Objective
After performing this lab session students will be able to build geometric models using loft
feature and pattern feature in SolidWorks 2015.

Models to be generated
A propeller is a type of fan that transmits power by converting rotational motion into thrust.
Students will draw propeller using SolidWorks 2015. The Model is shown in figure:
