For the first assignment of fusion, I was given the oppurtunity to take my first step into the CAD world. We used a world famous program called OnShape. I have absolutely zero experience with building things in CAD other than using Tinkercad, which according to Mr. Crompton is absolute bs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

To start the project I had to go through the tutorials. The tutorials were at best – questionable. The guy behind the screen spoke in monotone as the assignments were pretty difficult. Regardless, I powered through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After completing the tutorial I wondered what I should create for the project. My project must demonstrate what I have learned (which isn\u2019t a lot) and combine other aspects such as systems, sustainability etc. And so I\u2019ve decided to create a trash can that can sense hand motion which then opens up. However, I have no experience with building trash cans with sensors so I decided to go to ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next step was to build it, starting by sketching out the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then using the extrude tool I raised the outer circle and creating a hollow body. I also included holes where the lid would get placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The next part was to tackle the lid of the trash can. Similar to the body, the dimensions were the same as the lid had to fit on the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I also added holes to extrude as part of the assembly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After extruding it I had a top lid & bottom lid structure like so. The sticks are meant to fit onto the body as a form of assembly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The next part was a bit tricker as I had to remove a part of the lid to create a spot for my inferred sensor. It required creating an extra plane and then removing the area that I extruded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
