Centrifugal Force Experimental Apparatus
An academic mechanical-engineering design assignment centred on an enclosed centrifugal-force experimental apparatus. The assembly combines a rotating disc mechanism, adjustable mass positions, support structure, enclosure, clear safety dome, control-facing panels, and drawing documentation into a coordinated design package.

Project Overview
The case study demonstrates the transition from mechanical concept to assembly model and selected technical drawings. It focuses on safe enclosure of moving components, accessible arrangement of the test mechanism, assembly breakdown, and technical communication rather than publishing unverified experimental results.
Project Category
Educational centrifugal-force test apparatus
Design Focus
Mechanism packaging, guarding, observation, assembly structure, and technical drawings
Main Components
Rotating disc mechanism, adjustable masses, support structure, enclosure, clear safety dome, base
Documentation
Selected 20-page public technical drawing extract
Software Context
SolidWorks public assembly export within a broader multi-CAD workflow across Siemens NX, Creo, CATIA, and Fusion 360
Web Output
Render, view-only PDF, and Draco-compressed GLB
Status
Academic public portfolio case study
Engineering Challenge
The rotating mechanism required a clear operational layout while remaining physically separated from the user. The enclosure, viewing cover, support structure, adjustment features, and service access needed to be coordinated around the motion envelope.
Design Solution
A rigid base and enclosed test chamber were developed around the central rotating assembly, with a transparent cover for visual observation and selected drawings for design communication. SolidWorks is the featured environment within the broader multi-CAD workflow, and the public model is Draco-compressed for efficient web viewing.
