Photo Realistic Rendering

Title of the Project:-

Designing of an American Chopper and its Components with Photo-Realistic Rendering using SOLIDWORKS

Objective:-

Designing of an American Chopper from scratch to final Rendering of the Model. This Project help to understand the tools in Solidworks by working on a real model.

Introduction:-

Solid Works:-

It is a 3D modeling and simulation based CAD(Computer Aided Design) Software.

Design Methodology:-

Description:-

Major tools used to complete the American Chopper

1.Creating 2D Sketch:-

A 2D sketch is the base to create the 3D model. It created on x y Axis. It includes Line, Circle, Rectangle, Arc, Spline etc.

2.Geometric Relation:-

It is most Powerful tool in Solidworks. They are used to control the sketch as per the dependency of our requirement.

3.Solid Extrude:-

It extrude a sketch contours in one or two direction to create a solid feature.

4.Extrude Cut:-

This feature helps us to remove the material from a 3D model. It can cut both directions. By this feature we can make holes, slots etc.

5.Revolve Bose:-

By this feature we can create a solid feature of a sketch contours around an axis.

6.Revolve Cut:-

By this feature we can cut a solid model by revolving a solid profile around an axis.

7.Sweep Boss:-

By this feature sweeps a closed profile along with a closed or open path to create a solid feature.

8.Loft:-

By this feature we create a shape by making transition between multiple profiles and guide curves which allow to create complex geometry with a single tool.

9.Dome:-

It is a rounded or elliptical vault forming the outside face of a body structure mainly on a circular base.

10.Curve Driven Pattern:-

By this tool we create a pattern along a planar or 3d curve. We can use any sketch segment that lies along the curve plane.

11.Linear Pattern:-

By this pattern we can create multiple instance of one or more features that we can uniformly along one or two linear paths.

12.Circular Pattern:-

By this pattern we can create multiple instance of one or more features that we can uniformly around an axis.

13.Fillet:-

By this tool we can create a rounded internal or external face of any part.

14.Chamfer:-

By this feature we can connect two adjacent face using an inclined line.

15.Trim:-

By this tool we can remove or erase extra edges of intersecting on a 2D sketch.

16.Offset:-

By specifying distance we can create sketch from a sketch entities.

17.Split:-

By this tool we create multiple parts from an existing parts.

18.Merge/Combine:-

By using this tool we can create a single body from two multiple bodies.

19.Projective Curve:-

By this tool we can create a 3D curve from the intersection of two extruded surfaces generated by creating sketches on two intersecting planes

20.Convert Entities:-

By this tool we can create one or more curves in a sketch by projecting an edge, loop, face, curve, or external sketch contour, set of edges or set of sketch curves onto the sketch plane.

21.Shell:-

By using this tool we can create a hollow on a solid parts

22.Mirror:-

By this we can create a mirror of a sketch along with its face, axis, body or a plane.

23.Surface Knit:-

By this we can combine two or more adjacent, non-intersecting surface together.

Assembly of American Chopper:-

• Putting all the components together in an assembly line with accurately to create the complete product that performs as required.
• After assembly we will create the camera view.
• After finish the camera view we will render the American Chopper by using Photoview 360 for a realistic view.
