Bracket redesign for manufacturability + strength
Problem
A structural bracket needed to handle higher loads while remaining straightforward to machine and assemble.
Constraints
- Limited envelope
- CNC-friendly geometry
- Known load direction
Approach
- Rebuilt parametric CAD with load paths in mind
- Iterated fillets, wall thickness, and fastener layout
- Validated with static stress FEA — assumptions documented
Deliverables
- Fusion 360 model + STEP export
- Drawing pack (PDF/DWG) with revision notes
- Simulation report PDF
Outcome
Improved stiffness and reduced stress concentrations while keeping machining straightforward and cost-effective.
