School Project!

Post by Pete_BMR_z26 »

So, not sure if I've mentioned that I'm a Mechanical Engineer at Drexel University, but I am. I have a CAD final project to create (using Creo Parametric and AutoCAD), but noo idea what I want to model. I was thinking some sort of car/engine/mechanical part so that I don't really have to design for ergonomics (hooray for shortcuts!), but any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Whether it be something any one would need to be fabricated in a mach. shop, or any ideas of altering a part to be more efficient. Pictures/detailed ideas would be helpful as well. If it's a success, I'll post my working drawings and models for you to bring to a shop to have the part manufactured. Thanks all, and cheers. :beer:

Yeah hopefully I graduate in the spring.

Creo is a pain in the ass but it's got a lot to offer. I use inventor at my job and it's easier but not as advanced

Nice congrats! I like Solidworks, personally. It's all similar and all a pain in the ass, but it is what it is haha
