How to Create a Snail Cam in Onshape

The video tutorial guides viewers through creating a snail Cam in a part studio. It begins with renaming the part studio and creating a sketch on the front view. The instructor demonstrates how to add a drive shaft hole and an outer circle, apply constraints, and trim circles to form the snail Cam. Final adjustments include setting dimensions, extruding the shape, and editing its appearance. The tutorial concludes with a brief introduction to the next video on creating a heart Cam.

What is the first step in creating the snail cam in the part studio?

• Create a sketch on the top view

• Add a dimension to the drive shaft hole

• Rename the part studio

• Extrude the outer circle

What is the purpose of the construction line in the snail cam design?

• To align the center with the origin

• To add a dimension

• To create a new circle

• To cut the circle in half

How is the coincident constraint used in the snail cam design?

• To add a dimension to the outer circle

• To ensure the bottom of one circle touches the bottom of another

• To align the center of the circle with the origin

• To create a new construction line

What is the height of the snail cam from the top point to the origin?

• 1.0

• 0.5

• 0.625

• 0.75

Why is an angled line added between two points in the snail cam design?

• To create a new circle

• To avoid rendering issues in the automata box

• To add a dimension

• To align the center with the origin
