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)!

Hello all - I have enjoyed the submissions so far (especially the beating mechaheart!).

Here is mine! It is a really cool infinitely variable transmission - capable of continuously transitioning from a stop (infinite gear ratio) to a 1:1 gear ratio. I hope you like it!

The Inventor assembly features a design approach where a single sketch in "0_GoverningSketch.ipt" controls the kinematic design - the main parts in the assembly are dynamically linked to that sketch. If you want to tweek the mechanism, just tweek the sketch, drag the sketch around to make sure the motion looks right and the assembly automatically updates via linked parameters. Normally I would constraint sketches fully, but that one sketch I leave unconstrained so that I can simulate the motion of the mechanism before propogating changes to the assembly. It makes testing variations of the mechanism much easier. If by some chance my design is selected as a regional winner amonst so many excellent candidates - I hope to make some optimizations to the design and add some more detail as well!

A few notes about the model:
The allowable range of motion for the control lever is 0 degrees to -54 degrees. If you dont activate the constraint and set it to -54 degrees, the the animation will not work.
Sadly, the motion constraints were not working very well for the animation, so I suppressed them in favor of a less accurate but more robust set of constraints - unfortunately the gears do not mesh quite right.

(In the video I said that the mechanism didnt have any slip surfaces - I meant to say that the transmission does not need a clutch to disengage the load from the engine.)

Edit:  I'll try to attach the screencast again in another post, but here is the link:

The inspiration of the work comes from the windmill.which represents the festival and auspicioudness and implies family happiness. Add electronic function,it is traditional windmill and modern science and technology combine, has scicene and technology sense and fun.

This is a simple assembly part. The movement of the whole middle four parts can be controlled by moving the rotating disc at the edge. Your criticism and correction are welcome

I designed the mechanisms, first by simplifying the small motor driving the worm. The worm drives the turbine to move. The turbine through a connecting rod motion is transmitted to the bevel gear. A pair of Bevel Gears of the movement of the solar panel is inclined. Finally, the entire device from the bottom of the simplified large motor drive to capture a light source.

Introduce:

         we three axis machine tool is the use of flexible glue add some of our design on the basis of induction system, eventually to accurately dispensing operation, our innovation is the combination of three axis machine tool flexible mobile plus, we design a visual identity for eventually reach a point glue machine based on visual identification.We adopt fixed working platform, which is conducive to visual recognition and precision lifting of high point glue.We use the bearing housing to hold the screw rod to reduce the error caused by vibration.We ended up working with arduino to control motion.It is mainly used in the field of chip packaging, including small and medium-sized chips such as mobile phones glue packaging.

The mechanical claw designed by our team mainly uses its flexibility and variability, which can change the claw according to different terrain or different objects to be clamped, so as to achieve the purpose of stable clamping objects. As we all know, whether in life or in industry, when we use mechanical claws to grasp objects, they are always limited by some terrain or the shape of objects. Therefore, the mechanical claw we designed can have a variety of forms, so as to achieve the purpose of clamping objects. At present, our product has three clamping modes, the first is four claws in four The second is that the four claws will merge in two to form two claws to grab objects. The third is that there is a lifting device above the mechanical arm, which can facilitate the deep grasp of this mechanical claw. If this kind of mechanical claw is used in industry, as long as the mechanical claw is properly adjusted, the mechanical claw can be used to grasp various kinds of objects, which greatly saves the cost of the mechanical claw. At the same time, for some special terrain, we also have some considerations, such as the hoisting device added at present. In the future, we should add more devices to enrich the mechanical claw.

By imitating the movement of human arm and the structure of palm, the design is based on five axis joint robot arm and three finger structure. Through derivative design, the overall structure is presented as the best stress structure. At the same time, using the working mode based on the combination of five axis joint robot arm and three finger structure and the mutual cooperation of support platform, the track design can be implemented, and the goods on the shelf can be grasped freely. It not only increases the stability of the mechanism, but also improves the flexibility of the mechanical gripper.

Mars Reservoir Car: The owner of this water is concerned about the storage of water on Mars.

The dynamic collection of water is achieved by using a robotic water wheel, which is mainly divided into three layers, mainly considering the impact of temperature on water storage on Mars.

At the bottom are four mechanical wheels to realize the dynamic collection of water.

The six adjacent pipes are used for pumping and discharging water.
