Since all the work in designing was done as an employee of Godrej & BoyceMfg Co Ltd., I was not allowed to take the designs with me after leaving thecompany due to privacy reasons. They allowed certain drawings derived fromCAD models to be with me and here is an example few of those.

The drawing is of tilt column whichsupports the tilt cylinders of the forklift.The model was made in Creo Parametric2.0 along with the design of the rest ofthe forklift chassis. The model was thenconverted into 2D drawing.

The forklift tilt column as manufactured according to design

The above drawing shows the isometric view and other 2Dviews along with the dimensions of the accelerator & stopcable bracket which was to be used to restrict themovement of the accelerator cable. The part wasmanufactured and successfully mounted on the truck.

This part was a kaizen implemented to avoid the interferenceof the radiator shroud with the fan blades and to allow easyassembly. The part made huge difference in the assemblytime as well as reduced the number of fan failures due tocollisions.

The pipe assembly was a part of the pipe linkage to connectthe hydraulic oil cylinder to the tilt cylinder located at the topof the tilt column. Several similar assemblies were created andare used on the trucks.

The pipe was a crucial part of the exhaust system since thispipe made a difference in the exhaust temperature whichwould affect the performance of the engine. The drawing ofthe pipe assembly was made from the model andmanufactured.

The drawing is of the chassis of a 20T forkliftwhose model was created in CreoParametric 2.0 and analyzed using HyperWorks. The drawing was converted from theCAD model and then manufactured uponwhich the whole forklift was thenassembled.

introduction on the truck.

I was involved in the design of hundreds of parts and crucial components individually as well as in a team, these were examples of

some of my work in the industry and the other projects are as explained ahead.

Design of an innovative 3D printerProject Title: Design of an innovative 3D printer

Aim: 3D printer which is Multi-material, multi-color, multi nozzle innovative 3D printer. The currently available 3D printersare expensive, heavy, and too large and use more number of stepper motors. In addition to this the simultaneous use ofmultiple materials in 3D printing has not been extensively explored. The printer proposed and conceptualized in thisproject was with the aim of overcoming these shortcomings.

Approach & implementation: The 3D printer effectively makes use of a turret mechanism similar to the tool magazinewhich comprises of many nozzles in the circular pattern. The whole assembly remains the same having a heated bed,nozzle extruder assembly, stepper motor and the motion of gantry is Cartesian. The design of the components was doneusing Creo Parametric 2.0 and SolidWorks. The loads were determined for analyzing the parts and then analyzed fordifferent modes of failure.

Some parts that were designed along with their specifications:

• A turret with four nozzles

• Hot Bed

• Lead Screws for smooth motion

• Single stepper motor for all four nozzles

• The nozzle movement in X-Y axes

• The hot bed motion in Z axis

• Nozzle Diameter: 0.4mm

• Build Volume: 25x25x25 cm3

• Overall body dimensions: 35x35x35 cm3 Overall CAD model of the designed New 3D printer

The turret is basically a worm wheel with the 4 nozzle-extruder assembly. This turret can rotate 180° in boththe directions with the help of the worm gear. Onestepper motor is used for the worm wheel-geararrangement. And other stepper motor is used for allthe extruders.The stepper motor engages with one extruder andhelps print by passing the filament through theextruder. Once other material/color is required theworm wheel rotates so that the right extruderconnects with the stepper motor and the secondmaterial is deposited.

The printer made use of H gantry similar to mostprinters like the Makerbot etc., which takes care of themotion of the nozzle assembly which includes theturret structure.Lead scew motion transmission is used in this printerwhere in precise position can be achieved for heavyloads.

The disassembly of the innovative 3D printer is shown in the image above. The turret

mechanism is housed in the casing and the whole assembly is confined to the printer box.

RESULTS :3D printer is affordable, compact, and innovative and a designercan unleash creativity by using multi-color, multi nozzle 3Dprinter.More number of nozzles can be added in the design of theprinter but would add to the size of the printer.The cost of 3D printer would be around $700 which is very lesscompared to other 3D printers since the materials used aremostly thermoplastics.The designs of the components were analyzed using SolidWorksand ANSYS and is found to be safe and the deformation withinsafe limits.The design was found to be good enough to be manufactured ifrequired.The manufacturing processes for different parts was determinedand the rest of the parts were ones which are easily available inthe commercial market.

3D printed car badge alignment fixtureProject Title: Design and analysis of car badge alignment fixture using additive manufacturing process

Aim: Car industry badges are usually manually made in quantities of a hundreds, in order to make this process more efficient this project proposed a a lighter thermoplastic material with a customizable holder for different badges using additive manufacturing process such as Fused Deposit Modelling. This would reduce the need for various fixtures and reduce the waiting period for fabricating a new fixture for each badge. This also makes the badges customization for each vehicles manufactured.

Implementation : The whole of the designing process has been performed on PTC Creo Parametric and SolidWorks and the analysis was done using ANSYS and SolidWorks.

Bill of Material for the designed fixture

Base Plate constitutes the body of the fixture. The base plate holds all other parts of the assembly. Keeping in mind the ergonomics of design, one face of the base plate is fixed with two handles to hold the entire fixture. For having a DOF for other parts, the base plate is slotted at the ends and also has four through holes on the face.

Mounting Brackets consists of two legs. The mounting brackets play a pivotal role inbadge-fixing mechanism. The four legs, go onto the frame of the automobile at whichthe badge is to be fixed, holding the base plate firmly to the frame. This ensures thatthe surface of badging is perpendicular to the base plate, for perfect fixation. At therequired height a wing nut is bolted on the threaded part to fix the height.

Badge Holder is the component which is customizable and is recycled after its use tomanufacture a new holder. As the name reads, badge holder is the part that holds thebadge firmly. Hence, the design of required badges can be made. Those CAD files areimported to the AM machine and can be 3D printed. This is the major part that usesAdditive Manufacturing technique more extensively when compared to the otherpart drawings of this design.

Badge holder assembly

As can be seen below, a badge holder can be designed to incorporate the variouscurves of the work surface. Badges of various shapes and sizes can fit in theseholders which can be fixed on the required curved surfaces of cars with the specificcurves achieved on the holder by FDM.

ANALYSIS : Assuming a maximum force of 60 N to be applied on the handle of diameter 8mm while fixing the badge. The design is found to be safe within the applied force and conditions.

Image shows the stress analysis of the badge holder which is critical assembly of the fixture

CONCLUSION :This method advocates green manufacturing by recycling the material for a new product. Fused Deposition Modelling candesign a fixture which can be used by any automobile company to fix the logo irrespective of the type of surface making ita universal fixture. It can be observed that 3D printing is a very time and cost effective technique. It can find wideapplications due to its accuracy in designing intricate models. The future would be to design a universal fixture which canbe used for fixing not only the model badges on the rear trunk lid but also the car emblems on the front trunk lid.The fixture can be manufactured and used by any company for fixing the badges.
