12. Cnc25D Designs¶
12.1. Cnc25D design introduction¶
In addition to the Cnc25D API functions, the Cnc25D Python package includes also several parametric designs. The design parameters are called constraints and are set via a dictionary. Most of the constraints are not mandatory and if you don’t set some constraints, their default values are used. Use the files provided by the cnc25d_example_generator.py as template to generate one of the Cnc25D designs. Depending on the constraints output_file_basename and return_type, you can generate .dxf, .svg or .brep files or include the Cnc25D Design- as *Part-object in your FreeCAD macro. For more information about how to use the Cnc25D designs read the section Cnc25D Design Details.
12.2. Cnc25D design list¶
12.3. Cnc25D design overview¶
12.3.1. Box_wood_frame¶
The Box Wood Frame Design is a piece of furniture. Its particularity is that its top-shape and its bottom-shape are complementary. So, you can pile-up your boxes.
12.3.2. Gear_profile¶
The Gear Profile Function generates the gear-profile outline. You can also simulate this outline with a second gear-profile to make sure it works as you wish it. The gear-profile itself is not a 3D part but a simple outline. You can use this outline to create a complete 3D part.
12.3.3. Gearwheel¶
The Gearwheel Design is a complete gearwheel part (a.k.a. spur). You can specify the number of gear-teeth, the number of legs, the size of the axle and much more.
12.3.4. Gearring¶
The Gearring Design is a complete gearring part (a.k.a. annulus). You can use it to create your epicyclic gear system.
12.3.6. Split_gearwheel¶
The Split-gearwheel Design generates several 3D parts that can be assembled to create a complete gearwheel. The split gearwheel lets you make large gearwheel by making smaller sub parts and then assembling them.
12.3.7. Epicyclic_gearing¶
The Epicyclic Gearing Design is a complete epicyclic gearing system. You can use it to increase the torque (and decreasing the rotation speed).
12.3.8. Axle_lid¶
The Axle Lid Design is a axle-lid design kit. You can use it to complete the epicyclic_gearing design.
12.3.9. Motor_lid¶
The Motor Lid Design is an extension of the axle-lid design kit to mount an electrical motor. You can use it to complete the epicyclic_gearing design.
12.3.10. Bell¶
The Bell Design is the extremity of a gimbal system. You can complete is with a bagel and a cross_cube to get a complete gimbal system.
12.3.12. Bell_bagel_assembly¶
The Bell Bagel Assembly is the assembly of a bell piece and two bagels.
