The brief

Produce 3D models, high-definition rendered images, and 2D detail drawings of a Pivot Bearing and a Pivot Base for inclusion in a company brochure.

What I did

• Modelled the two separate components in 3D and applied the specified material properties—Cast Iron for the bearing and Cast Aluminium for the base.

• Configured rendering environments for a 1280 x 720 px (HDTV) output, utilizing perspective views, ground reflections, active shadows, and targeted spotlighting on specific geometric features like the 44 mm recess and R17 hole.

• Applied precise surface finishes to the models, contrasting polished internal bores and bosses against the rougher exterior cast materials.

• Produced 2D detail drawings utilizing third-angle projection, which incorporated standard orthogonal views alongside true isometrics and the exported photorealistic renders.

• Extracted key parametric properties directly from the 3D models—including material, density, and mass—and displayed them on the final drawing sheets.

• Managed document control by finalizing the files in .dwg, .pdf, and .png formats and updating the company document register in accordance with internal Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).
