Nerf StrongArm Modeling
As an exercise in more complex SolidWorks modeling and assembling, a small group of fellow students and myself modeled a full Nerf blaster. This required us to take precise measurements of the small pieces and use them in the models to create a functional assembly. The intricacies of the small parts allowed for a unique opportunity to create both complex parts and a complex assembly which consists of many moving parts. The parts were split up among the group and the parts that I individually modeled are shown below as well as an exploded assembly drawing of the entire Nerf blaster are shown below.
