Swerve Drive Module

Personal design project

I modeled a manufacturable swerve drive module based on West Coast Products' Swerve X as a personal design project. The CAD assembly has 43 unique parts with zero interferences and correct motion through every degree of freedom. I used SolidWorks surfacing, sheet metal, and weldments, checked interfaces and clearances for fabrication, and made an exploded animation to show how it moves and fits together.
