FROM DESIGN TO REALITY
USING CAD SOFTWARE
AND AN ABRASIVE WATERJET MACHINE
TO MAKE THINGS

CAD SOFTWARE CAD = Computer Aided Design
• VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT FOR DESIGNING & TESTING
• EMPHASIS ON VIRTUAL => SOLIDWORKS IS NOT PERFECT
• WE USE SOLID WORKS 2008
OMAXMODEL 2652 JET MACHINING CENTER
‘WATERJET’
USING HIGHLY PRESSURIZED WATER
PLUS AN ABRASIVE GARNET (SAND)
TO CUT SHAPES FROM FLAT SHEETS.
PRESSURE: 47 000 psi
3200 x ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
Jet Speed at Nozzle: Mach 2.5
COMPARE: => CAR TIRE: 28 psi => BOTTOM OF
MARIANA TRENCH (DEEPEST PART OF THE WORLD’S OCEANS): 15 000 psi
UBC PHYSICS & ASTRONOMY
SOLIDWORKS WORK FLOW:
• CREATING SOLID BODIES• ADDING FEATURES• TESTING PARTS• ASSEMBLY & FURTHER TESTING
=> FILES FOR FABRICATION
MAKING SOMETHING
START WITH A FLAT SHEET….
CREATE ADDITIONAL PARTS…
ASSEMBLE ALL PARTS ...
FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY IN ONLY A FEW STEPS
