Gasket project
CAD
Modeling
Using the dimensions and features illustrated in the sketch, the gasket was modeled using CAD software.
Project
Overview
The goal of this project is to develop basic manufacture skills while producing a gasket that allows unrestricted access to all features machined features from a given aluminum block.
Manufacture
Process
The gasket CAD model was set up and transformed into machine code using GibbsCAM. The instructions were uploaded into a CNC Mill and using a 1/16"thick PVC plate, the gasket was produced.
Product&
Comments
The picture at the right shows the final product of the gasket and the aluminum block. It should be mentioned that the gasket fits onto the block without blocking any features. However, measurements regarding the chamfers could have been improved in order to correct little misalignments at the borders between the gasket and the block.
