CAD on your team

 Do you make CAD models at all?
 If so, what is it used for? Just documenting the
design that you already built?
 Or, do you actually design parts of your robot
before you build it?

© 2013 Autodesk
Why use CAD for Design?

 You can avoid problems before they happen





Too heavy
Dimensions are too big
Mechanisms don’t work as you thought they would
Components are “in the way” that nobody realized until
you tried it out

 It’s cheaper to model in software than in
hardware
 Parts list for purchasing
 This is how real businesses design stuff
 You can make really cool
marketing/documentation as well
© 2013 Autodesk
But, it’s too hard to model the whole robot –
that would take forever!
 Don’t model the whole thing
 Only design the parts that are critical to success, or that you
have concerns about
 If you are re-using the drive train from last year, don’t model
that, just model the parts that are critical to the game

 Don’t model in too much detail

 Tire treads are not necessary for analyzing your design

 Use the internet

 There is a lot of designs out there that you can use
 GrabCAD
 FIRST
 Parts manufacturers

 Divide up the design among multiple team members

Autodesk
Fusion360
© 2013 Autodesk
Using Fusion360 for your designs

 What is Autodesk Fusion360?





Cloud-based CAD for collaboration
Direct modeling and a simple, modern UI
Runs on Windows and Mac
Support for mechanical joints to make mechanism
design simple

 Fusion (and all Autodesk software) is free for
students

© 2013 Autodesk
Fusion 360 features of interest:
 Collaboration with a team
 You don’t have to share computers or thumb drives to
have multiple team members work on the same design
 Even a single team member can work on the design at
school, at home, anywhere.

 Mechanism design
 Fusion’s Joint command allows you to create
mechanisms very quickly
 Motion Link and Motion Study

© 2013 Autodesk
More Fusion features
 Interference detection
 Can determine if parts collide
 Contact sets also useful for this

 Mass properties
 Can show overall weight, volume, center of gravity

Editor's Notes

  1. Ask these questions of the audience:Do you model your robot?How many model only for marketing or documentation?How many actually model for design?
  2. The “D” in CAD is for “Design” not for “Documentation”Have you ever bought parts that you don’t use? Ever had to throw stuff away because you cut it and then the design didn’t work?CAD as dual-use – design and documentation
  3. There are lots of CAD packages out there, we are only going to talk about Fusion360 (we are biased)Show the dashboard
