MET-112 (CPTC)
Computer-Aided Design ( CAD) : Currently (2025) the class is using AutoDesk Fusion 360 (free for personal use link ). Computer lab is available throughout the week but having one at home has made it way more enjoyable.

Total Mechatronics & Systems Approach: (2025) Hands on classes working with actual mechatronic systems, mapping , trouble shooting. You'll need a multimeter. I suggest taking lots of video and photographs as soon as you step up to any system.

MOTO BLOG: Mechatronic , 3d Dice Print and design Fusion 360. Chatting on my ride to school. (recorded week three but I go over dice @ 1:00 )
Week 1 MET-112: Fusion 360 3D Dice
Week 1 MET-112: Fusion 360 3D Dice
Second assignment is modeling dice in Fusion 360 and then 3d printing them. It didn't have to be parametric but I decided to...it was a simple and possibly time saving way to model the dice.
Week 3 MET-112: Belt Roller Assembly
Week 3 MET-112: Belt Roller Assembly
Third assignment is modeling a Roller and Base in Fusion 360 More complex looking part but was a confidence builder and accompanied by videos showing every step of the build. I would suggest watching the videos as you work in fusion 360 ! I didn't and wasted a few hours on something small !
WEEK 3 Mechatronic Systems Map MET-113
WEEK 3 Mechatronic Systems Map MET-113
Week 3 MET-113 : Create a system map using DrawIO ( free software). Were kind of left to our own devices I believe but will see what my grade is on it. Click the green Start button on the map to see next step. To see the actual machine operating in class.

LEGO DESIGN & 3D PRINT "MilBuggy"
MET-112 CAD FINAL
MET-112 CAD FINAL
We were not supposed to invent parts. The idea was to use pre-existing parts to build "new kits" with instructions and packaging.
I wanted to make some thing that had moving parts and would have liked making it more complex.... but 3d printing the parts took a considerable amount of effort. 3d printing is not a preferred method for making Lego's in my opinion.
Working axles and 3d prinLEGO FINAL MET-112 ted wheels was the biggest challenge. I did have to modify the injected molded Lego axle model to a simpler design that could lay flat for printing and rigidity.
If you like Legos and haven't tried Studio 2.0 from Bricklink.com your missing out ... it has some amazing features and is free!
