CAD Progress

The CAD is coming along!

As I said  the inital CAD prototype will be issued this friday to enable everyone to do their material caluclations. When we re-meet up after the easter the design will be updated and changed accordingly  and any other  changes needed/or liked  can be added.

For now, here are a few screenshots;
                                              

   The first drawing is assembly made usign blocks. It was motion-modeled to show how the crane would move. (Video Coming later!).

Next the blocks were turned into parts; Here  the two tower blocks were changed into a Box frame as shown above.

Here is a protoype of the  flanges  proposed to go onto the frame to enable the legs to be removed. The flanges from the other access points and corners arent shown here.

A mock of the clasp proposed to hold our two blocks of the tower together.
