CLUB IIITDMJ

ABOUT US

The CAD Club provides students with the opportunity to visualize design ideas using software like CATIA and
SolidWorks Members gain a deeper understanding of design through renderings and simulations to assess real-world
performance.
CAD is a key part of Digital Product Development (DPD) within Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and integrates with
tools like Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM). It
aids in photorealistic rendering, motion simulation, and product data management (PDM).
Engineers use CAD for precise modeling, utilizing history, features, parameterization, and constraints to analyze properties
like tensile strength, stress, and environmental impact.






PROJECTS


ONGOING PROJECTS

Bionic Arm

Our CAD project focused on developing a functional, lightweight bionic arm prototype.
This model integrates precise mechanics with an ergonomic, custom-fit design for improved user control.
The core challenge was modeling the multi-degree-of-freedom gripper mechanism
and ensuring seamless structural integrity for 3D printing. The final design prioritizes modularity and uses advanced CAD analysis to optimize
weight distribution, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to medical device engineering.


Driveline

Our CAD work focused on modeling a robust and efficient driveline system,
the critical component that transfers power from the engine to the wheels in a vehicle.
Key models included the transmission shaft, the propeller shaft
with its universal joints, and the differential gear assembly.
The project prioritized designing components for optimal torque handling and minimal power loss,
showcasing precise tolerancing and stress analysis within the CAD environment.
