Week 1 - CADD Refresher

Week 1 ( 19 October 2021 ) - Keychain

For week 1's lesson, we were tasked to recreate a keyring done last semester. Since I've not touched it for a couple months, I made use of a tutorial of how to design a keyring in order to refresh myself on the skills.

Firstly I started of with a rectangle which was 65mm by 25mm.

Secondly, I used the offset function to create a border around the rectangle which was 2mm wide. I also used the fillet function to trim the 4 edges by 5mm.

Thirdly, I added a line 7mm from the left side and created a middle point on the line. It was then used to create a circle/hole with a diameter if 5mm. I also added a design which was a svg file and inserted it into the sketch.

Next, I used the extrude feature to make the design 3 dimensional by extending the base by 3mm 

Lastly, I used the extrude function to remove 1.5mm from 1 side of the base without touching the border and after filleting the hole, my keyring was completed.

At the end of lesson, I managed to refresh my memory on the basic features that I learnt the previous semester but I realised that I'm still unfamiliar with many other features which only means that I require more practice and I still have a long way to go in order to be proficient in fusion360.
