Top 4 Things I Learned This
Summer
Thank you all for coming, This summer I was lucky enough to intern here in the marketing department working for Darren Henry. I go to school at the University of Colorado in Boulder and am Currently Studying Mechanical Engineering. But I was born and raised here in Massachusetts and live in Boxborough, about thirty minutes from here.
This summer I was lucky enough to work on quite a few different things including but not limited to. Working on some Onshape Models, a few project using sales force, assisting with webinars. Writing two blogs. and producing two videos. I’m going to go into more detail on all of these so lets get started.
This summer I did quite a lot of modeling in Onshape. These models are for screenshots and tutorial videos, but also really enhanced my understanding of CAD and specifically what makes Onshape so special. I am going to tell you a little about each of these models I created and what I learned from each.
I started the summer working on a number of different basic parts. You can see two of my favorites here on the right. Creating these basic parts helped me get my feet under me using Onshape. I found that in Onshape much more can be done using one sketch, that I could create multiple features using only one sketch. This was not something that I was familiar with and found extremely interesting and very powerful. Both of these parts were created using almost only one sketch. The top part I had to use one other sketch to add the hole. I also found the Onshape interface much cleaner and easier to use than solidworks. The many drop down menus and combining features into one feature, for example extrude cut and extrude under one feature extrude, with an remove option. This allowed my workflow to move much more smoothly. I also picked up the keyboard shortcuts quickly which saves you tons of time.

The second model that I worked on this summer was this hydraulic pump. I really enjoyed working on this model and I found it somewhat challenging but I learned alot. From this model I learned a lot about Onshape part studios and what makes them so unique, the face that you can create all the parts in context to each other in one workspace. I also started to experiment with mating and assemblies in Onshape and how easy onshape mates are with the use of mate connectors. Similarly I used a gear relation between the two gears to allow them to move together which was not something I had had experience with before.
I started to experiment with rendering, specifically keyshot, who is one of our partners. You can see here a render I did. It was very easy to use and I was amazed at how photo realistic you could get when rendering.
cool models, for what's new and stuff
Another model I worked on was this grinder vise. At this point I had a pretty good understanding of onshape. So I started adding some more detail to my models. This model included thread representations which I struggled with at first. I learned a lot about different types of threads and you can see here that I added an ACME thread for the vise. Another thing this model included was a screw relation. As you can see from the gif as the handle is turned the vise actually moves in and out. This model was created from old 2D drawings out of a book that Darren Gave me. And I learned about working off of a 2d drawing and where to look to find dimensions and how to read these drawings better.
Brought all my onshape knowledge together. This is a three axis brushless gimbal for camera stability while filming. Here is a rendering of the brushless motor and you can see the 3 different axes of movement by where the motors are on my model. I learned a lot about CAD from this model that isn’t necessarily unique to onshape. Since the model had so many parts, I had to use sub assemblies to construct the model and then assemble it in a larger assembly which was not a technique that i was familiar with but turned out to be much more efficient and easy. It would have been nearly impossible to assemble the entire model in one assembly table. Similarly a lot of parts were about to be patterned. As you can see these coils here were all able to be patterned in a single part studio rather than being assembled together in an assembly tab. Similarly I was able to reuse a lot of parts in this model, the motos, the fasteners, the pipes and grips. So this was something that saved me a lot of time and wasn't something that I was used to doing before.
Used salesforce, wasn't familiar with it before. Never knew what companies used to manage their contacts and discovered that salesforce is it. Wasn’t too hard to use and seems extremely powerful and I feel I have only just scratched the surface of what it can do.
Went through salesforce to clean this all up, got exposure to a lot of our partners see what they are all about. MAxwell render, proto labs is a machine shop that you send your designs too and in the same day they can review your product with you and manufacture and ship to you. Injection modeling, cnc exc.
