Diseño en CATIA v5, análisis e impresión 3D de motor de vapor conectado a una máquina de molienda de caña

El presente trabajo surge como herramienta perfecta para recorrer de manera global el diseño 3D. Utilizando el software Catia v5 se ha modelado una máquina de vapor para la molienda de caña de azúcar del siglo XIX. Del cual se presenta también, una pequeña introducción histórica. Se ha creado cada pieza a partir de las referencias de los planos y se han ensamblado estas para crear la máquina en cuestión. Por otra parte, utilizando todo el material modelado se han utilizado otras herramientas de Catia como pueden ser la creación de planos, animación y renderización del modelo, monstrando así todas las posibilidades que puede tener este programa. También se explica, con la ayuda de imágenes renderizadas del modelo, el funcionamiento del molino paso a paso. Finalmente utilizando una impresora 3D de gama doméstica se ha impreso el molino a escala 1:10. Esto ha servido para estudiar y analizar todas las posibilidades que presenta el sector de la impresión 3D.The present project emerges as the perfect tool to explore 3D modeling. Using the Catia v5 software, a steam mill for milling sugarcane from the 19th century has been modeled. Of which a small historical introduction is also showed. Each part has been created from the references in the drawings and these have been assembled to create the machine. On the other hand, using other Catia tools, such as the creation of plans, animation and rendering of the model, thus showing all the possibilities that this program can have. Rendered images have been used to explain the operation of the mill. Finally, using a 3D printer, the mill was printed at 1:10 scale. It was useful to study and analyze all the possibilities that the 3D printing sector presents.Universidad de Sevilla. Máster en Ingeniería Industria

An Approach to the Study of a 19th-Century Sugarcane Mill and Steam Engine through CAD Techniques and Mechanical Engineering

This article shows an approach to the three-dimensional modelling of a sugarcane mill and its associated steam engine, designed by the Robey and Co. engineering company in 1869. In order to obtain the 3D CAD model of said invention, CATIA V5 R20 software has been employed. Various sources of starting material, from the basis of this research and found in the process of searching for relevant information, provide information on the main elements, operating conditions, and mechanism of the machine. Thanks to the three-dimensional geometric modelling carried out, it has been possible to explain, in detail, both its operation and the final assembly of the invention through the assemblies of its different subsets, thereby obtaining a virtual recreation that shows its operation. Likewise, a study has been carried out, from a mechanical engineering viewpoint, of the gear train that transmitted the movement, in order to ascertain the compression force exerted on the sugar cane. This research, related to industrial archaeology, therefore, enables the reader to understand a machine that constituted a milestone in the sugarcane industry, while paying tribute to the English engineer, Robert Robey
