    The students modeled a nerf gun in CAD as a class project, documenting the assembly process through exploded views and technical drawings as well as analyzing the structural integrity through FEA simulations. They added functionality to the model by including an animation of the spring compressing and improved the appearance by adding color. Overall, they found the project interesting but challenging due to coordinating proportions and file sharing between group members.

    Nerf Gun

    William C., Delaney L., Aiden L., Ariana J., James F.


    Introduction
    ● Chose to model a nerf gun because it has a lot of intricate

    mechanical parts and did not seem too difficult

    ● Initially thought that it would be easier than it ended up being

    ● Having a physical reference helped a lot

    FEA Results
    ● Static force assembly on exterior plunger shell (58 lbf)

    ● Selected material for FEA: ABS plastic

    ● Determined if nerf gun could withstand force of pulling back the slider

    ● Max displacement: 2.338e-01 in

    ● Max stress: 4.081e+04 psi

    ● Resulting max stress was less than the yield strength of the part, therefore the design is safe

    ● We decided to keep the design the same because of this

    Animation
    New Feature
    Spring compression

    ● Was a crucial feature for the nerf gun to have for


    functionality

    Appearance Feature
    ● Added color to the assembly
    Reflection
    ● New: Appearance feature, compressing spring

    ● Challenge: proportions, mates, everyone having the same


    part files for the assembly

    ● Overall: interesting cumulative project
