Detailed CAD

In this project, I deconstruct a hand mixer and develop a comprehensive Computer-Aided Design CAD model of its entirety. This was aimed not only to understand the inner workings of the mixer but also to replicate its components with high precision.

Overview:

In this project, I deconstruct a hand mixer and develop a comprehensive Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model of its entirety. This was  aimed not only to understand the inner workings of the mixer but also to replicate its components with high precision.


Problem Identification:

The primary challenge lay in the complexity of the hand mixer's internal mechanisms and the lack of readily available blueprints or guides. Each component needed to be carefully measured and analyzed to ensure that the digital representation would accurately reflect its real-world counterpart. 


Solution:

To address these challenges, the strategy involved several steps:

  • Careful disassembly of the hand mixer, documenting and studying each component to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the appliance's inner workings.

  • Special attention was given to the intricacies of the design, such as the alignment of gears, the fitting of the beaters, and the integration of the motor assembly within the housing, to maintain accurate proportions and achieve a high level of detail in the CAD model.


Challenges and Takeaways:

This project presented a unique set of challenges, including:

  • The complexity of accurately modeling small, intricate components and assemblies within the CAD environment

  • Gained proficiency in solid works for detailed mechanical design, enhancing skills in precision modeling and the digital replication of physical objects.
