Aluminum tube diameter rising device design
3D drawing of the device
Introduction
The mechanical expansion of the tapered mold is a cold plastic forming method that uses a conical punch to enlarge the diameter of the pipe and is mainly used to improve the dimensional accuracy of the tube and improve the cross-sectional shape of the pipe, Including expanded die structure and support structure.
Achievement
It was a team project that we tried to improve the design of an Aluminum tube rising diameter device. We used “Inventor” which was CAD application to finish all part of our product. This design could be used in the heavy mechanical industries. It's very efficient and easy to make.

Evaluation
The result from this project could be used in the real world, and this project taught me a lot of CAD drawing skills which I need to familiar with in the future. This design covered lots of parts and different shapes. It obvious lifted my capacity in using CAD application.
