    I worked as a Machine Designer for over 45 years. This is video is a real as it gets. It's challenging to come up with concepts that meet all the requirements, but deeply rewarding when you see it all come together and work.

    • @maalikserebryakov
      @maalikserebryakov ปีที่แล้ว

      I have a Q
      How do engineers calculate the dimensions of their design’s parts?
      do you do it on CAD or mathematical Programme or what

    • @joeyager8479
      @joeyager8479 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@maalikserebryakov Hi. First I need to say up front that I enrolled as an ME student but did not complete and get a degree. I was able to get into engineering as a draftsman, pre CAD era, and advanced from there. I thought that this would be a detriment and sometimes it was, but overall being able to come up with concepts to solve problems is more important. That's the part that I most enjoyed.
      Most designers rely on ratings from the manufacturers of the components that we incorporate into the designs. Most of these have huge safety factors designed into them. Components such as gears, sprockets and chains, pulleys and belts and others are designed, tested and rated by their manufacturers. If used appropriately, there shouldn't be any problems. Another thing at the time, pre CAD, was that strength calculations were laborious and expensive so it wasn't done if it could be avoided by just adding more heft.
      Most of the machine design I was involved in was for capital equipment; machines used to make consumer products. These were stationary and most engineers got away with overdesigning the components.
      However, there are systems and other operations within these machines where mass is detrimental. The newer CAD FEA programs get better every year and really show how kinetic mass can be reduced and still increase the strength of the components. And these calculations can be done quickly and efficiently and make for a better overall design.
      Having an engineering degree is invaluable for knowing how to setup CAD FEA parameters - knowing what range you expect for the outcome of the calculations provided by the program. The old GIGO still applies.

    Nice video. As a supplier of Tesla in Asia, it is really stressful for us while your assembly plan ramping especially parts including semi-conductors. I am pleased to work with many Tesla’s engineer and GSM(Global Supply Manager), SIE( Supply Industrialization Engineer) and PM(Program Manager). Although the request is sometimes demanding, it feels relieved and honored after both of us achieved a target altogether. Not only just DFM, there are so much Tesla language in a proto-build such as RC( release candidates), MRD and SOP etc. these confuses people if a supplier did not realize what these acronyms stand for.
