3D Modeling: Pear Cam Tutorial in Onshape

The video tutorial explains the concept of cams, focusing on creating a pair cam using specific dimensions. It guides through sketching in a part studio, adding construction lines, and finalizing the design with tangent lines. The process concludes with extruding the cam and preparing it for 3D printing. The tutorial ends with instructions for further tasks and encourages questions.

What is a Cam and how does it function in relation to a drive shaft?

Describe the dimensions and shapes involved in creating a pair Cam.

Explain the process of creating the drive shaft hole in the Cam design.

What is the significance of the tangent lines in the Cam design process?

How do you ensure that the circles in the Cam design are properly aligned?

What steps are taken to extrude the Cam design after completing the sketch?

Discuss the differences between the designed Cam and the one that was 3D printed.
