Methodology Proposal and 3D Model Creation of a Car Steering Wheel
Source abstract
Abstract
Currently, the largest milestone to successfully bring products to market is to shorten the production time interval, so the production of any product should be very fast. Customers are far more demanding and recently prefer the option to customize products. A key element in the development of prototypes and the overall shortening of the production process is rapid prototyping, an integral part of which is virtual modeling. Modeling is completed through explicit or parametric 3D CAD software. This article proposes a methodology for creating a 3D virtual model of a car steering wheel and then creates an assembled spatial model in real size. Attention is focused on the theoretical knowledge of the problem, the specification of dimensions, the number of assembly members and the selection of a suiTable 3D CAD application in which the steering wheel is modeled. Many specific software features are also described that are not standardly used and make a significant contribution to a more design-attractive output.
