12:1 Gearbox Assembly Kit
Project type
Engineering
Date
Fall 2024
Location
Toronto
I designed and 3D printed a 12:1 gearbox assembly kit for an engineering design class.
The given requirements were to design a 12:1 reduction gearbox that (1) was easy to assemble, (2) had a co-linear input and output, and (3) could withstand high speed operation for more than 30 seconds.
I designed the gearbox using Fusion360, and manufactured multiple prototypes using FDM 3D-printing to optimise its durability and ease of assembly. I also created pictorial assembly instructions as per the assignment requirements.
The submitted gearbox passed all durability requirements, and exceeded expectations for ease of assembly.
