aN-i-No Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Excuse me, but to all the people that said they do CAD or plan to. What exactly do you do? Does it depend on the company you work for or is it a task that everyone does similar? All I know is that it's a program where you can design anything, I didn't know you could make a career out of it. Could someone please inform me more into this subject, I'm starting to get curious. I worked an internship/training at the Caterpillar (or CAT, they manufacture construction vehicles) down here in Waco. I was in charge of designing Buckets (the scoops I guess you would call them) and Bucket teeth for digging through different materials. That was my specific duty on a team of designers. Other people had other parts. It was really more of a test for ingenuity and creativity. What you do is start out with a sketch which can be made up of straight lines and curves and has to be a closed figure. You control the lengths and angles of these. You then extrude (blow up) that to get a basic figure. From there you can sketch on the flat plains of that figure and extrude further or cut into it to (to add and remove material, respectively). You do that until you have your 3d object (I'm simplifying like crazy here, this is truly the hardest part) which was in my case, the Bucket. From there I had to model the Bucket pins (bolts that hold it all together) and other parts separately. Then you load all the pieces into once document and build it in the program...this is the killer, because if it doesn't fit right you have to modify it VERY slightly so that you remain within your design constraints (design rules basically). Once that's done you print out the sketch sheets that have the top, side, and angle views with all measurements on them, then you email the finished product to the laser cutter guy so he can cut all the pieces out and powder coat them. After that the build team takes over and...they build it lol. If ANYTHING is wrong, it comes back on the Designer and the Design manager (because he has to approve it). P.S. I hated that shit. Design is not for me. I was using Autodesk Inventor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
