CAD Review

The CAD review in industry would be called the Detailed Design Review. All of the parts for the product should be fabricated or procured. All mechanical components are placed on a workbench with respective CAD drawings and an assembled view to show how they are assembled. This is the final step before assembly.

For our project we have a lot of drawings since we are laser cutting acrylic to create the reservoirs. Each reservoir/component is housed in acrylic that is bonded through finger joints. Below are the main drawings for each part of the design:

1. The Complete Exploded view:
