Project 1

 

·        The following data are taken from Grainger Catalog (http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/start.jsp).

·        The wrench has these major components: handle, ratchet, drive, switch, and cover. This list is not inclusive.

·        Design a similar (not necessarily identical) ratchet wrench.

·        Assume that loads are static (use the worst-case scenario).

·        Use an appropriate human factors handbook to obtain suitable dimensions for the wrench.

·        You are to choose materials and dimensions such that the machine will not fail due to any possible combinations of stresses. 

·        Use the rapid prototyping machine to create a 1:2 scale model of your design.

Note: You may need to disassemble a wrench to better understand it.
