FINAL INDEPENDENT PROJECT
Design, Assembly and Rendering of a ELECTRIC CHAMBER using SolidWorks and SolidWorks Visualise
OBJECTIVE
- Design the parts of the ELECTRIC CHAMBER
- Assemble the parts in solidworks assembly.
- Render a high quality image using photoview 360 and SolidWorks Visualise.
INTRODUCTION
SOLIDWORKS 2022 PREMIUM EDITION
SolidWorks is a solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) application published by Dassault Systèmes. It has other ADD-in features like photoview360 which helps in rendering modelS to make it look photo realistic. In this project we learnt about detailed design of Americal chopper parts and assemblig them and rendering the final after assembly.
SolidWorks software is used for everything from rapid prototyping to designing, and is crucial to many engineering and drafting methods. It is also useful for developing new, innovative products.
Some applications of SolidWorks are:
-
Manufacturing: Turning designs into products, including machine modules.
-
Designing: Surface modeling or parametric/direct solid modeling.
-
Engineering Analysis: Electromagnetic analysis, thermal analysis, fluid analysis and more.
Motivation for the Project:
Actually am a working professional, so i like more challenges more than any things. Electric Chamber is a complex and need more consideration while modeling. So i choose Electric Chamber just for a fun.
Engineering Significance:.
Electric Chamber is an autoclave powered by electricity used for Curing of Pre-cured Tyres. The Casing is bonded with the Pre-cured Tread under the application of Pressure and Temperature for a fixed period of time inside the Electric Chamber. The Lock Ring Closure is mechanism that ensures safety by creating a pressure tight container once curing is started. The lock ring is controlled by pneumatic double pistons which ease the process of door opening and closing. This ensures minimal time between subsequent loading and unloading of tyres into the chamber which in turns ensures higher efficiency.
SOLIDWORKS TOOLS AND FEATURES USED TO DESIGN ELECTRIC CHAMBER
Fixing SKETCH for start any modeling:
2D TOOLS include in sketch are
- Line
- Circle
- Arc
- Spline
- Rectangle
- Circular Pattern
- Polygon
- Offset
- Fillet
- Mirror
- Ellipse
- Chamfer
- etc
(Each tool have their own unique uses also have contained more options)
Then using FEATURES we can change 2D sketch to any required 3D model objects and any desired item
- Blocks: We can save, edit and insert blocks from the drawing items and sketch entities that you use often such as standard notes, title blocks, label positions and so on you can attach blocks to geometry or to drawing views.
- Boss Extrude: Feature used for expand the object in 3D according to sketch plane.
- Revolve boss base: Feature is used to make cylindrical or circular 3D extrude along with a given reference axis as per drawn sketch.
- Extrude Cut: Extrude cut feature used to cut/remove the 3d object in linear path according to sketch.
- Revolve cut: Revolve cut is used to cut or reduce the extrude of cylindrical round surface.
- Lofted Boss/Base: Lofted boss is a feature used to achieve Complex Shapes. It does this by interpolating surfaces between various cross-sections of a model. These cross-sections can be sketches, faces, or edges.
- Sweep: This feature is used to sweep any kind of fully defined sketch along with the path.
- Sweep cut: Sweep cut is same as sweep feature but its directly proportional to sweep which makes a cut along with the sweep path.
- Linear Pattern: The linear parent is used to create a different number of instances required to create the pattern linearly.
- Circular pattern: Circular pattern is a feature used to make 3d feature into circular pattern according to number of insistences.
- Swept Surface: It is used to make a surface along with a path the curve is driven.
- Boundary Surface: Boundary surface is used to make a surface in between two finished surfaces.
- Curve Driven Pattern: Curve driven pattern is used to make any pattern which followed by the curve is sketched before.
- Curve Driven Pattern: Curve driven pattern is used to make any pattern which followed by the curve is sketched before.
- Loft Surface: Loft surface is used to make loft in between two profiles along with guide path.
- Knit surface: Knit surface is used to knit the two free edges or open edges of the surfaces together also it reduces the gap between the two edges of the surface.
- Move/copy body: This feature is used to move/copy the 3D body to one place to another place.
- Surface Trim: Primarily used to cut away material from a surface, and provides two modes: Standard and Mutual.
- Mirror: Mirror is used to mirror a feature or body by reference of the selected plane.
- Fillet: Fillet is a feature used for making round internal or external edges to avoid sharp edges and make it smooth.
- Chamfer: Chamfer is used to make a sharp edge or corner slightly tapered rather than being a perfect square.
- Split: Split tool is used to split single solid part into two solid parts. It is used to project an entity onto other surfaces or curved/planar faces.
- Dome: Dome is a feature used to make dome shaped extrude including elliptical dome.
- Shell: Shell feature is used to make to hollow space in solid part by selecting outer wall of the solid part and so removes the inner parts. It is also used to reduce the specific thickness.
- Combine: Combine tool is used to make integration of two solid parts which intersect each other as same solid part.
- Projection Curve: Projection curve is a 3D curve which is projected on the basis of the two different 2D curves in two different planes.
- Trim entities: it is used to trim the unwanted lines or extended entities in the sketch.
- Appearances: An appearance defines visual properties of the model including colour and texture. Appearances do not affect physical properties which are defined by materials. every material is a assigned a default appearance.

CONCLUSION
- The parts are sketched and modelled in the SOLDWORKS.
- The modeled parts are assembled with possible mates in to the main assembly of Electric Chamber
- The decals are applied to faces of parts.
- The realistic image was rendered with the use of the Solidworks visualize.
