In this mechatronics and robotics tutorial, we will lead you through the process of designing, 3D modeling, and 3D printing of a pendulum that should be placed on a shaft of a DC motor. The pendulum will be used in our future video tutorials as for demonstrating basic control and estimation principles, and for explaining how to design and implement a complete servo control system.
To design the 3D model we use a completely free CAD software called FreeCAD and a low cost 3D printer. In particular, we are using Anycubic Cobra Max 3D printed with extremely large 3D printing volume. As you can see from the 3D printed part, this is not a super precise 3D printer, however, it has a large 3D printing volume. This is what we need to mobile robotics and other projects that will be presented in the future tutorials.
The skills that you will learn in this tutorial are of the paramount importance if you want to become a complete mechanical engineer or a robotics engineer. Our extensive experience in higher education shows that most of mechanical engineering or robotics programs in the US are fragmented and often students do not learn the necessary skills. The purpose of this channel is to change that. Our goal is to teach students and engineer the fundamental skills that are necessary for the 21 century. Our approach is holistic and synthetic. We believe that students should not be experts only in one field. Instead, they should be versatile in many different fields, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, and computer science. Only by mastering several fields you can become a successful robotics or mechanical engineer in the 21st century
