CAD "Final" Rubric

Here is the CAD Modeling Rubric that I will use to assess your knowledge, skill, and creativity using Fusion360.  It is an adapted rubric first developed by Bryan Kroh or Daedalus, Inc. (an Engineering/Design firm that we have a City as Our Campus partnership).  The criteria established in the rubric are authentic through the lens of real-world designers and engineers.

Reminder of "what" you need to model for the Final - one of the following:

Something Rubber-band Powered

Karakuri Moving Model

Bottle-cap 2nd Life

Added Course Resources

Some of you would like to reference study guides or tutorials that reinforce the steps we have been covering to properly create our 3D models.  I have added some links to the Course Resources tab for you to use as needed.

Updated Technical Drawing of Homework Part


Notice the additions (height of 60 mm NOT 30 like the moron who made the changes shows in the above drawing, Radius of 28mm, extrusion height of 17, Rib distance of 31.5, extrusion distance of 56).  The changes to the placement of the Rib now makes this part more symmetrical.
