Design the base mechanism by creating a new part design named mechanism and sketching on the yz plane with a 50 cm offset; place 3.5 cm circles as workbench axes.

Design a fixed base from sketches and features, including centered rectangles, pads, an elongated cylindrical hole, symmetry with the H axis, and pocketing, culminating in steel material application.

Design a base mobile by building centered rectangles and circles, applying extrusions, mirroring and pocket features, then assign steel material and refine color to reduce reflections and save.

Design a short pillar by sketching two centered rectangles, adding circles, mirroring features, translating positions, extruding, and finishing with a 6 cm pocket in steel.

Design a long pillar by creating centered rectangles and circles, extruding features with precise dimensions, mirroring and translating geometry, applying a steel material, and adjusting color for a natural look.

Design a pneumatic cylinder by selecting GrabCAD STEP/IGES files, evaluating options in Catia, and building the rod end, axe, and flange attachment in steel.

Add the transport mechanism and determine the pneumatic cylinder length in rest state, then sketch the transporter with three bars and simulate its motion.

Design bearer bars by sketching centered rectangles and circles, applying mirrors and extrusions, projecting 3d elements, and finalizing with steel material.

Design five bearer bar supports, determine the mechanism’s perimeter rotation, select a square tube 40, and sketch precise locations and lengths to position the supports.

Explore the design of bearer bars through step-by-step sketches, symmetry, mirror operations, and pad and pocket features, culminating in right and left bearer bars.

Model the mechanism of rotation in 3d by creating a 40 cm link with symmetry and a 1 cm hole, and save the design in rotation folder with steel material.

Create a workbench design by building middle and R/L parts with sketches, mirrors, pockets, and hexagon sockets, then assign steel material.

Design and model standard and modified tubes for a workbench using sketches on yz and xy planes, symmetry, and pocket operations in steel.

Design a transporter in a 3d cad workflow by building sketches, planes, 4 cm square tubes, and a 2.5 cm circle, then apply fillets, symmetry, steel, and save.

Design the base of a pneumatic cylinder by creating a part named base of p.c, sketching centered rectangles with symmetry, applying precise dimensions, and adding pockets, pads, and steel material.

Finish the base of the pneumatic cylinder by completing sketches, projections and circles, applying v and h axis symmetry, and using pad and pocket operations for final precise dimensions.

Design a translation mechanism by creating a part and sketching components with precise measurements. Apply symmetry and constraints, run a motion simulation, and animate pallet sizes across standard configurations.

Design a fixation right bracket by creating sketches, profiles, circles, symmetry, and pockets in a solid modeling workflow, then apply steel material and save the part.

Design the support for a pneumatic cylinder by creating a new part, sketching a centered rectangle and circles with exact dimensions, applying steel, and pocketing 4 cm depth.

Design a 20-27 cm link by sketching an elongated hole, adding 1 cm circles, applying a 1 cm pad, and steel material, then save in the mechanism translation folder.

Design a 'support for link 35' in mechanism software, creating sketches, symmetry, pads and pockets, defining diameters and depths, applying steel material, and saving the modified tube 2 for adjustments.

Design a pallet fixative in a CAD workflow, sketching rectangles and circles, applying pockets and symmetry, forming a square tube, and assigning steel material.

Designs the Link 25 cm open t mechanism, creates elongated hole (radius 1 cm, length 25 cm), circles, a central rectangle, mirrors, pads to 1 cm, and applies steel.

Create an assembly folder, add components like long pillar + UCP and bearer of bars with UCFL and SHF, apply contact and offset constraints, update measurements, and save.
