Detailed Design report
The report should build on the previous concept design and convert it into a workable detailed design. This report should include material selection, component selection, detailed drawings and assembly drawings. Presentation should be in the form of a standard professional report complete with assembly and detail drawings as required for issue to a workshop.
- select materials and manufacturing processes as part of the overall design
- develop both assembly drawing and detail design
- introduce sustainable engineering concepts
Report structure
Whenever a report is written the following sections should be included:
- Front sheet (for administration purposes)
- Title and title page
- Contents page with page numbers
- Brief
- Introduction
- Summary
- Main body of the report with diagrams, photographs, graphical data, etc
- Conclusions and recommendations
- Reference and information sources
- Appendix
Assignment criteria -
Detail Design planning: Concept to reality conversion; explains requirements for stated requirements for detail design expanding on product specification and analysis for each part separately defining the functions. Investigated and critically analysed similar designs giving cons and pros for each part investigated. Based on carried out analysis has proposed possible detail design justifying choice.
Creation of detailed design
Strength analysis
Selection of materials
Selection of components
Manufacturing considerations
3-D modelling & assembly
Fitness for purpose
designs the Parts to form logical sub-assembly, analysis of possible materials and manufacturing methods based on cost calculations to justify the choices. The relevant analysis (such as stress/stiffness, mechanism, et al) have been conducted based on classical analytical method which is coherent across different onall the parts. Demonstrate exceptional proficiency in using variety of engineering tools and/or charts.
Design Documentation and Communication
Quality of drawing and layout
Drawing projection & tile block
Use of tolerances
Use of Hidden detail & sections
Manufacturing finish symbols
Manufacturing process selection
Supplementary notes on drawings
Detailed drawings of the designed parts presented, clear and correct dimensioning of all parts, proper use of projections and hidden details. Coherent and appropriate use of tolerances across all of the parts. Surface finish appropriately defined on the drawings. Use of manufacturing methods, tolerances and surface finish justified. Use of supplementary notes for detail design and/or assembly.
Quality of Final Report
Format, structure and presentation (aim, objective)
Evidence of decisions making
Discussion and conclusions
3-D Representations
Solid Works, complete as a minimum 5 details drawing complex enough to demonstrate design skills (an assembly and a detail drawing of main components are required).
