Task #1: “Fastest Race Car” (Gradesheet)
Design – Draw Car to Scale on Draft Paper.
Drafting Paper: click here! (1/8th inch scale)
CAD (Computer Aided Design) - 3D Print - Assemble and Construct Your “Fastest Race Car!”
Guidelines
- Students will complete their “Race Car” drawing and show it to the instructor prior to building it in Tinkercad.
- Create your wheels, axle and body in three separate programs. Also, only make one wheel, one axle and one body in each program. I will import your one wheel and print it 4 times. I will import your one axle and print it twice and I will import your body and print it once.
- The instructor will print the pieces of the student’s “Race Car” on a 3d Printer. The student will assemble their car.
- Credit will be given when it is determined by the instructor that the car was built correctly. The axle should spin freely through the body of the car and the axle should be snug in the wheel, without the use of adhesives. You should not have a problem as long as you use the measurements shown in the Draft! Finally, the instructor will ask to view the drawing again as the car runs down the track and must cross through the finish line.
