The project involves the development and creation of a 3D mixed reality user interface for visualisation of mechanical parts assembly and/or structural analysis, stress and forces on mechanical parts.
Most engineering design and finite element analysis (FEA) or stress analysis are initially conducted on a two-dimensional screen using computer-aided design (CAD) software, after which the parts are manufactured and assembled into a prototype. Often, the prototype reveals deficiencies that were not anticipated due to the lack of a realistic representation of the entire assembly in its actual site—a limitation inherent in 2D CAD visualisations.
The aim is to utilise mixed reality, through the use of Microsoft Hololens, to aid design engineers in testing out their designs and assemblies to ensure feasibility. This project is a collaboration with HOPE Technik and HelloHolo.
