Introduction

Conditions of satisfaction for complete CAD for a given project means that we have a complete part library:

  • Parts - for building Modules, for producing Fabrication Drawings
  • Modules - Made of multiple parts, these are sub-assemblies of the Final Assemlby. These are used for Exploded Part Animations, Language Agnostic Instructionals (LAIs), and other work.
  • Final Assembly - The completed build. for Exploded Part Animations, LAIs. Note that the Final Assembly may have to use Simplified Assets in some cases to remain workable
  • Simplified Assets: Parts, Modules, Assemblies - these are
  • File Size Requirements - all assets meet File Size Requirements for that particular asset type. Files can't be so large that FreeCAD can't open them or work with them effectively.
  • File Organization - Spreadsheet of all Assets (both Simlified and Complete assets) is available
  • Construction Best Practices - procedures for effective part building in FreeCAD are followed for each file.
  • File Build Documentation - Each file is documented for how to create that file, so novices can get up to speed in making modifications. A short video with voiceover is the best way to document a part build. This is important because this creates design literacy in the general populace.

5/16" or 8 mm Rod Version

D3D 16" Version

HintLightbulb.png Hint: Once all the parts here are stable, we will create a FreeCAD D3D Workbench which includes a drag-and-drop of every part within FreeCAD

Small version for small machines such as 3D printer, small laser cutter, and CNC circuit mill
