- Education Institutes( Universities, Engineering Colleges, Technical Institutes)
- Product Design , Engineering Services Companies and Independent Vendors
Use Case: Simple Design Workflow of Castor Assembly in AdaptiveCAD
We asked the team to share use cases of the product, in order to better understand the product capability.
What is Castor?
A caster (or castor) is an undriven, single, double, or compound wheel that is designed to be mounted to the bottom of a larger object (the “vehicle”) so as to enable that object to be easily moved. They are commonly made of rubber, plastic, nylon, aluminum, stainless steel and available in various sizes and forms.
Casters are found in numerous Practical applications, including shopping carts, office chairs, and material handling equipment
Before manufacturing various components of castor, it needs to go though Digital Prototyping & Analysis phase for Development of Final Assembly and Subsequent process like strength analysis and testing
Digital Design/Prototyping using AdaptiveCAD involve following steps during Development of a Castor Assembly
Step 1: Part Design in AdaptiveCAD: The following video shows making of Wheel in AdaptiveCAD.
The video shows making sketches (using various geometries) which are then used to make various features of Wheel, for example holes etc. Features contain shape information and parametric information. Some of the properties that need to be encoded from features are assembly method, manufacturing process and tolerances to be used while manufacturing.
Step 2: Assembly Development in AdaptiveCAD: The following video shows assembling of various components into a Final Assembly which is ready for Manufacturing
