Building Blocks to the MPAS (Bicycle frame assembly)

2 0 Beginner
In this short illustration I would like to do a very brief explanation on how the MPAS can be used by engineers to ensure that their designs are correctly assembled when using welding as an assembly process. I will use a bicycle frame for demonstration purposes. While there are many fantastic bicycle frame jigs available from companies like Anvil, the great advantage offered by the MPAS is its rigidity. This demonstration is less about bike frame building though and more about how the tools I am providing here on GrabCAD can be used to create a general layout of the fixturing tooling and how a template can be created to make sure that future setups is correct and accurate.
