These examples feature joint animations and simulations. See the Joint types Fusion documentation files to learn more.
Elliptical linkage. An example of revolute and slider joints acting together.
Gear mechanism. An example of gears simulated through revolute joints and motion links There's a built version of this project in the electronics lab.
Headbanging pin and slot mechanism
(after Nik Ramage). A more complex example of revolute and slider joints acting together. There's a built version of this project in the electronics lab.
Ratchet and pawl mechanism
Simple example of revolute joints and contact sets. The effect of gravity (or a spring) is simulated with the "Rest" parameter under Joint Motion Limits. There's a built version of this project in the electronics lab.
Cam and follower mechanism
Example of revolute and sliding joints together with contact sets. The effect of gravity is simulated with the "Rest" parameter under Joint Motion Limits. There's a built version of this project in the electronics lab, with interchangeable cams.
Crankshaft mechanism
Example of revolute and sliding joints. Joint Motion Limits are important here.
These examples have all been machined and can be found around the lab. Check the Manufacture workspace in fusion for insight into each CNC setup.
Gear mechanism. The same project shown above in the mechanisms sections. Parts milled out of 0.25" aluminum stock on the Bantam Desktop CNC Machine.
Aluminum cloud. Small cloud shape. Can be pressure fitted directly onto the shaft of the stepper motors in the electronics kits. Milled out of 0.25" aluminum stock on the Bantam Desktop CNC Machine.
Sine wave. A simple demo for 3D milling strategies. Milled out of 0.5" aluminum stock on the Bantam Desktop CNC Machine.
Highway interchange model. A demo project for multiple 3D milling strategies. Milled out of 0.5" aluminum stock on the Bantam Desktop CNC Machine and 0.5" MDF stock on the Shopbot CNC Machine. These parts are hanging on the wall next to the large Shopbot machine, together with other fabrication processes for the same design.
Three-part handle. A replacement handle for the lab's panel saw. Milled out of 0.25" aluminum stock on the Bantam Desktop CNC Machine and 0.25" MDF stock on the Shopbot CNC Machine. Currently installed on the saw.
A collection of 3D printable and laser cuttable parts to interface with motors in the tangible media kits.
