Design and Drawing for Production
Blocks 3 and 4
Today’s lesson:
Problem: I need a front wheel for my mouse trap car
Design Statement: Design and draw using Autodesk inventor a front wheel for the mouse trap car
Constraints: The size of the wheel should have a 50 mm diameter
• Material: The material that will be used will be rapid prototype medium
• The axle of the wheel must be a 7mm diameter wooden dowel
• Wheel to axle attachment: The wheel must be designed to be fixed tightly so the axle will spin with the wheel.
• Design and manufacture: The wheel design must be made on Inventor using the revolve tool and will be manufactured on a Rapid Prototype machine
Ideas: Use your engineer’s notebook or grid paper to design a front wheel. Your teacher will show you some ways that you can fix a wheel to an axle so that they will rotate together.
The basic design: Open a Standard (mm) IPT file. Use the line tool and the dimension tool to create the profile shown here.

Good Morning/Afternoon:
1. Logon to computers
2. Click on Autodesk Inventor to start the program
3. When the program opens, click on the Inventor Icon in the upper left corner of desk top and UN-click on open. Open the Auto-desk inventor file that you started on Wednesday (the file was saved as Mouse trap car profile….or what ever name you saved it.)
4. Use the car profile that you researched on Wednesday to assist you in designing the car.
5. Make sure you save your file in your Z drive.
6. Take this lesson seriously! Use your knowledge of Inventor to create a beautiful design!
7. If you draw details like doors, side vents, door handles then make sure you do the following:
a. Make the profile (outer shape) first
b. Extrude Cut the profile from the 500 x 75 piece of balsa wood
c. Click on the face and right click new sketch
d. Draw the detail
e. Finish sketch
f. Extrude cut or join 1 mm
g. When you are done please send an email to:
jmcginty@scsd.us
In the subject place your name and “finished with profile”
