007 – Design, Materials and Manufacturing

You are required to complete the coursework for the module Design, Materials and Manufacturing (UFMFN3-30-1) to a high academic and professional standard.

### * Student Details:

– Student ID: 202411042

—

# * Task 1: Presentation and Viva

You must prepare a technical presentation (PowerPoint) and be ready for a viva examination.

### Requirements:

1. Select ONE of the following topics:

– Materials and Manufacturing Challenges in the Automotive Industry

– Hydrogen Energy Storage

– Aerospace Sector

– Railway Industry

2. The presentation must include the following sections:

– Introduction (clear background and objectives)

– Literature Review (use reliable academic sources)

– Material Selection (types of materials used and justification)

– Manufacturing Processes (methods and techniques with explanation)

– Discussion (identify problems and propose solutions)

– Conclusion (summarize findings and recommendations)

3. The presentation should:

– Be designed for 12 minutes speaking time

– Include clear diagrams, figures, and engineering explanations

– Demonstrate deep understanding (not just description)

4. Prepare for viva (8 minutes):

– Be able to explain all concepts clearly

– Justify material choices and manufacturing processes

– Answer technical questions confidently

—

# * Task 2: Design, Analysis, and CAD Modelling

You are required to design and model a Machine Vice using SolidWorks.

—

## 1. Part Modelling

Create individual 3D models for all components, including:

– Base Jaw

– Moving Jaw

– Lead Screw

– Handle

Requirements:

– Use correct assigned dimensions (A, B, C)

– Fully constrained sketches

– Proper feature usage (extrude, fillet, chamfer, etc.)

– Rename features clearly in the feature tree

– Engrave the Student ID (202411042) on the base jaw

—

## 2. Assembly

– Assemble all parts correctly using mates

– Ensure full functionality (opening and closing motion)

– Check for interferences

– Ensure the file opens correctly on another device

—

## 3. Engineering Drawings (2D)

Produce A3 drawings BS8888:

### Required drawings:

– Assembly drawing (with sectional view offset 12 mm)

– Base jaw detailed drawing

– Moving jaw detailed drawing

Requirements:

– Include 1015 key dimensions

– Clear orthographic views

– Sectional hatching

– Completed title block

—

## 4. Motion Study (Simulation)

– Create a motion simulation showing jaw movement

– Apply motor rotation = 4 rpm

– Duration = 60 seconds

– Format = AVI

– Ensure Student ID is visible in animation

—

## 5. Final Submission

Submit a compressed (ZIP) folder containing:

– All part files

– Assembly file

– Drawing files

– Motion simulation video

* Important:

– If files do not open marks will be lost

– All work must be original and properly structured

—

# * Expected Quality

– Accurate dimensions and engineering logic

– Professional CAD modelling

– Clear and standard-compliant drawings

– Strong technical explanation in presentation

– Logical reasoning and justification throughout

—

# * Notes

– Follow a structured engineering design process

– Ensure consistency in units and dimensions

– Provide clear explanations for all design decisions

– Maintain high presentation and documentation quality
