Case: Development of Casing for Power Drill.
Customer: One of the well-known Industrial Machine Tool Manufacturer.

Background:
The Company is involed in manufacturing of various industrial Machine Tools, and Power Drill is one of their main products.They had developed a new range of power drills with different arrangement of the inner electromechanical assembly to ensure a more compact power drill as compared to previous ones.

Requirements:
The Company wanted to develop the outer casing, where specific requirements were:
1). The body should be compact and house all electromechanical assembly completely without re-orienting any of part or changing the assembly.
2). Griping and handling should be comfortable and hould be rigid enough to sustain static loads and dynamic drilling forces.
3). Product must have Aesthetic Appeal.

They also wanted to obtain a Prototype by Rapid Prototyping Method and get a 3D-CAD model for casing of power drill to be utilized for Mold Design and CNC program generation.

Solution:
First a rough sketch was generated, by referring the 2D details drawing of innner electromechanical assembly of the power drill, to get the rough idea of how the outside casing will look like.
After getting an approval of the approximate look alike, and making necessary changes, the next challenge was to create features in the casing for housing and positioning of various electronic and mechancial components. This was very comfortable handled by relational Boolean operations.
The aseembly of developed casing and power tool assembly was made for checking interference between parts and the casing. At places where interference or unnecessary clearance was observed, the shape of the casing was modified to take care of the same.
Then the final assembly of the power tool with the casing was shown to the customer and approved after some minor modifications.
The final part was converted into .STL format and a Rapid Prototype of the entire product was obtained.

Resources Utilized:
Software: I-DEAS 8, Surfacer 10.5.
Rapid Prototyping Machine: 3D systems (SLA Technique).
Duration: 90 Hours with prototype.
