1.
Ergonomic Tool Designs
Re-design common hand tools (like wrenches, screwdrivers, or pliers) to have more
ergonomic handles that reduce hand strain during extended use.
Application to Technical Drawing: Create isometric, oblique, and orthographic
drawings showing the new shape and features of the ergonomic handle.
2. Compact Drill Press Vice
Re-design the traditional drill press vice to make it more compact, lightweight, and easier
to adjust without sacrificing clamping power.
Application to Technical Drawing: Produce detailed assembly drawings showing
exploded views and part lists for the redesigned vice.
3. Multi-Function Workbench
Re-design a standard workbench to include built-in tool storage, foldable sections, and
built-in power outlets for electrical tools.
Application to Technical Drawing: Draft sectional views and floor plans of the
redesigned workbench, including dimensions and annotations.
4. Adjustable Grinding Machine Stand
Re-design a grinding machine stand that can adjust to different heights and angles,
improving user comfort and safety.
Application to Technical Drawing: Use technical orthographic projections to show the
adjustment mechanism and varying height settings.
5. Improved Metal Cutting Saw
Re-design a metal cutting band saw with a more efficient blade change system and
improved dust collection mechanism.
Application to Technical Drawing: Draw detailed cutaway views that explain the new
blade mechanism and the dust collection path.
6. Quick-Release Machine Clamps
Re-design clamps used in machine tools to include a quick-release mechanism, reducing
setup time.
Application to Technical Drawing: Show the new clamp mechanism with exploded or
detail views to explain the quick-release function.
7. Modular Gearbox
Re-design a mechanical gearbox to be modular, allowing users to change gears and ratios
easily without replacing the entire unit.
Application to Technical Drawing: Use sectional and detail drawings to explain the
interchangeable gear modules.
8. Space-Saving Tool Storage System
Re-design tool storage systems (like cabinets or toolboxes) to be more space-efficient
with sliding or collapsible sections.
Application to Technical Drawing: Use detailed orthographic and isometric drawings to
show how the storage compartments move or collapse.
9. Improved Coolant System for Machine Tools
Re-design a machine’s coolant system to be more effective in cooling and cleaning,
reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
Application to Technical Drawing: Use sectional views and schematic diagrams to
show the improved flow of coolant through the system.
10. Portable Welding Station
Re-design a welding station to be portable, with foldable legs, onboard power storage,
and built-in tool holders.
Application to Technical Drawing: Create detailed drawings and 3D models showing
the station in both deployed and collapsed configurations.
