Rules:

1. Must be 18 years old and up at the time of submission of the design.
2. Must be an Autodesk Community Member
3. Residents or citizens of Brazil, Argentina, Poland, Romania, Italy, Turkey, or any US embargoed country will be excluded.
4. Must read and agree on Official Rules-D&M and the privacy statement.  
5. By submitting your entry to this topic as a reply, you agree to the Contest Official Rules and to the use of your personal information as described in the Autodesk Privacy Statement.
6. One submission per person per Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC), Design and Manufacturing (D&M), and AutoCAD (ACAD).  You cannot apply both AutoCAD English and AutoCAD German, but you may do so at both AEC English and AutoCAD German, for example.

How to enter your design:

It’s simple and easy. Just reply to this topic with your design.

Judging Criteria:

Autodesk Community Managers and the Autodesk Technical Staff will be the judge.

Industry	Judging Criteria
Design & Manufacturing (D&M)	Innovation, originality, and modeling technique

For those who want to join without submitting the design:

Don’t worry, you can vote for the design you like using the “Like” button.  You need to Sign in to participate.  The votes won’t be one of the judging criteria, but we want to hear from you.

Finally, here's the Challenge!

Design & create a working assembly of a simple mechanism.  Make it as simple or complex as you would like.

• Use either Fusion 360 or Inventor.
• Attach the assembly and all native files required to open the assembly as a ZIP file ( you may use Pack n Go, but please keep in mind the maximum file size to attach is 72 MB).
• Embed into your submission a Screencast recording of the mechanism in motion to prove that it works.

We are looking forward to seeing your design!  Enjoy!

Check out the other industries and vote (or even participate if you can)!

The submissions are meant to be public, in order to encourage the community to vote for their favorites using the "Like" button.  The video is required in order to show the judges that the mechanism works as designed.  The motion can be achieved through driven dimensions or any other tool built into the software used (Fusion or Inventor).

Thank you.

[rushabhthakkar_910]

Okay Sir, I am Extremely Sorry, I did not know that Submissions happen this way by Liking our Favourite Entry... I thought that a new post with all the Submissions will be made for Voting...

[rushabhthakkar_910]

But sir, I would really love to add the Motion Video to the Submission.... But, I really don't know how to give it Motion... Or else, I would have..... 

And, as far as Password is concerned in my file, I will share a new one without password.....

But please sir, please tell an alternative to the Motion Video.... 

[CGBenner]

@rushabhthakkar_910 

Your mechanism can be animated by driving constraints that define the movement of the components.  It does not need to be a fancy or professional video, just need to see the motion.

[rushabhthakkar_910]

Dear Sir,

Below is my Submission that too without any Password.... And also the Video too......

[CGBenner]

Looks very interesting.  Thanks for the submission and good luck!

[rushabhthakkar_910]

Thanks a Lot Sir to you and your Whole team for Organising this Wonderful Game.....

Let‘s have a try !

We made an animatronic tail for cosplay use called Furtail. Which controls two servos to pull the strings so that the continnum body (the tail consists of many ball joint snap-fit parts) could move as a real tail while still behave flexible.

Every parts are design in Fusion 360, and produced by 3D printing.

The real one has been finished, works as predicted.

Here is the screencast in fusion 360 of using Motion Analysis to record a short video about driving the tail to move.

@xiechao142 

That looks cool!  Thank you for the entry and good luck!

[rushabhthakkar_910]

Great News for Participants who could not submit their designs or were Late. ... 

Deadline Extended till 8th November 2020 .....

So, sir @CGBenner , now that deadline is Extended, can we submit more than One Design...??

[CGBenner]

@rushabhthakkar_910 

One entry per person for D&M, but you could try to enter the AEC or AutoCAD contests.  Links are in the main post here at the top.

[rushabhthakkar_910]

Thank You Sir for the Clarification....!! 🙂

Log Lifter

LOG LIFTING MECHANISM:

The main function of this mechanism is to load the wooden logs into the transporter( truck). The design involves kinematic links that support each other in order to get the job done. 

This is made in such a way that it can be transported to any place and can be used right away. This can be dis-assembled to save the space while transporting it.

Please watch the video(Motion link) attached below to get a clear understanding. 

You can animate the model on your own. Just upload the file(Log lifting mechanism CGC2020.f3z)attached into fusion360.

Open the motion study->>right click->>edit->> play the study as I have shown it in the screencast(Voice over included)

(or)

 Just hold the wheel and hover to see how it works.

Thank you so much for the opportunity.

Hi Everyone,

I am excited that Autodesk is having this competition during these times.  Below is a description of the Iron Man suit that I am building.  I hope you enjoy watching it 🙂

This is a simple mechanism mimicking of a bird flying in the air. 

[graemev]

A contest, you say? I'm in!

This is a small "active" differential. That is to say, the timing between output shafts is driven, not passive.

Two independent inputs are: a spur gear (drive gear) driving the ring gear of a siamesed planetary gear set and a bevel gear (timing gear) driving both planet carriers. Outputs are the sun gears, having "indicator" disks (with lobes to better indicate position) shown in red.

For purposes of the demonstration, a ratio of input rotation speeds is used to vary the timing. Drive speed is kept constant for this demonstration (graphics card capabilities notwithstanding) but could be varied independently of the timing gear.

The demonstration begins with a ratio of zero - no timing input given. The outputs run in lock step. Thereafter, the ratio is changed to both positive and negative values. The resulting change in output timing - one shaft's position in relation to the other - can be seen to alter, and even reverse, the rotation of either output shaft. One gains as much as the other loses, thus the net rotation remains unchanged so long as the drive input speed remains constant.

Any questions?

Any answers?

Anyone care for a mint?

I'm sorry I didn't attach a video before, here it is!

Don't forget to submit a Screencast video of the mechanism in motion, for the judges.  Thank you for your entry!
