Pro/DESKTOP 8
Prepared by: Harry Hawkins
Prerequisite Understanding of:
New Skills You Will Develop:
Trang 2This project will provide you with exercises in creating a paper cup
dispenser You will use the normal Pro/D functions of creating workplanes and sketches as well as the duplicate and mirror functions In addition to
dimensioned views of each part included in the tutorial text, a complete set of orthographic drawings and details are included at the end of the tutorial You may refer to these drawings occasionally to verify and obtain accurate dimension numbers
Each unit of the dispenser will be constructed as a separate design and saved with its own name After all parts have been designed, they will be
assembled in an assembly design
You will also be able to produce an Album of the completed unit and experiment with various materials and features
The tutorial is presented in serial order and you should complete it by completing each step in order The numbers will continue through each part so that the entire tutorial will proceed from number 1 to the last number rather than separately number the steps for each part
Trang 3Top Unit
The top unit is used to support the containment dowel rods and allow for inserting a stick of 9 oz paper cups into the holder
