Mechanical projects

This video documents the hands-on training conducted as part of a mechanical engineering curriculum, focusing on modern manufacturing processes, CNC machining, and precision assembly. The project includes practical exercises using various industrial machines such as:

• HAAS Super Mini Mill: CNC milling for precise machining of aluminum components.
• EDM (Electrical Discharge Machine): Precision cutting for complex geometries in conductive materials.
• Laser Cutter: Fast prototyping of engraved and cut parts using laser technology.
• Conventional Milling Press: Manual shaping and adjustment of mechanical parts.
• Assembly Tools and Fixtures: Mechanical part assembly using vises, screws, pins, and jigs.

Key training outcomes include:

• CNC Programming: Toolpath creation and execution on HAAS controller interfaces.
• Material Processing: Mastery of machining parameters, tool selection, and surface quality control.
• Precision Measurement: Use of calipers, gauges, and visual inspection during assembly.
• Mechanical Assembly: Fine manual fitting, insertion, and testing of machined components.

This project strengthens practical skills in mechanical fabrication and prepares students for industry-level tasks involving CNC machinery, prototyping, and mechanical system assembly.

This project is a 3D mechanical design and assembly I created using SolidWorks. It focuses on modeling and assembling key components of an internal combustion engine's reciprocating mechanism, specifically a crankshaft and piston system.

• Software Used: Developed in SolidWorks, a professional software for 3D mechanical design and engineering analysis.
• Individual Component Modeling: The project includes detailed 3D models of several crucial parts:
  • Piston (`1.Piston`)
  • Piston Rings (`2.Piston ring`)
  • Connecting Rod (`4. Connecting rod`)
  • Piston Pin (`6. Piston pin`)
  • Crankshaft (Vilebrequin) (`3. Crankshaft`)
• Assembly Design: The individual components are brought together in an assembly (`Assemblage1`) to demonstrate their spatial relationships and how they connect within the engine mechanism.
• Motion Study/Animation: The assembly includes a motion study (`Etude de mouvement 1`) to visualize the dynamic movement of the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft as they would operate in a running engine.
• Detailed Design Elements: Models include various features (Boss-Extrude, Cut-Extrude, Revolve, Fillets, Chamfers) demonstrating proficiency in SolidWorks part modeling.

This project demonstrates my skills in 3D CAD design using SolidWorks, including detailed part modeling, creating mechanical assemblies with appropriate mates, and conducting basic motion studies to simulate component movement. It showcases my ability to design and visualize mechanical systems.
