Huffy Kick Scooter
This project was completed as part of my final assignment for SolidWorks ENT 280 at Triton College, River Grove. The task involved reverse engineering an object with a minimum of five parts. I chose to work on a scooter, inspired by my passion for wheeled vehicles and my aspiration to design four-wheeled or larger vehicles in the future.
To begin, I disassembled the scooter and meticulously measured each part using a digital caliper and tape measure. I then recreated the components in SolidWorks, developed technical drawings for all parts, and produced a comprehensive assembly drawing to document the process. Finally, I created high-quality renderings of the completed model.
While the assignment only required an object with five parts, I chose the scooter to challenge myself and learn more about vehicle design. The scooter contained over 30 parts, so to streamline the project, I simplified the assembly by combining certain components, resulting in a final model with 26 distinct parts.
This project has been instrumental in enhancing my engineering and design skills, reinforcing my commitment to tackling more complex projects in the future.
