Nintendo Switch CAD Project

Skills Used

Reverse engineering
Solidworks
Engineering drawing

Project Description

In my CAD course, we were tasked to take an object from our life and recreate the model along with concise engineering drawings into Solidworks. The requirement was to have an assembly with at least three distinct parts/components.

Component Breakdown:

Console plastic shell
LCD screen
Controllers (Not including analog stick or front buttons)
Analog sticks and front buttons

Lessons Learned

The importance of measuring parts multiple times
Difficulty of recreating ergonomic shapes that are based on some function
- Ex. Triggers on the controllers
