Machine 1. Establish a standardized workflow and say goodbye to low-level errors:

       a. Design self-test checklist: must be checked before each drawing: dimension chain closed-loop, tolerance matching, process symbol annotation Case: An engineer missed the heat treatment requirements, resulting in batch parts scrapping.

     b.   FMEA risk prediction: failure mode analysis of key moving parts (such as gearboxes) Template: | Potential Failure | Cause | Preventive Measures | Detection Methods | 6 Methods for Efficient Self-Improvement of Mechanical Engineers.

      c.  Establish a personal design library:

      classification and sorting: commonly used transmission mechanism 3D models, standard parts selection table tool recommendation: SolidWorks Design Library.

     2. Go deep into the workshop to break through the fault  between theory and practice and production three must-sees:

     look at processing: the matching degree between CNC programs and drawings to see the assembly: whether the tolerance design is convenient for on-site adjustment to see the failure: collect typical scrap parts to establish an "error museum" Simulation  verification four-step method: theoretical calculation → ANSYS stress analysis → 3 physical testing → comparative optimization.    

      3. Systematic knowledge upgrade path  Standard study method:

     intensive reading of GB/T 1804 (tolerance), JB/T 5000 (welding) and other core standard skills: use mind maps to organize key clauses  Reverse engineering practice: dismantle imported equipment, analysis: tolerance fit (such as bearing block interference), surface treatment (coating thickness measurement), structural principles and other related processes.

     4. Tool Skill Breakthrough Guide  3D Software Advancement:

     SolidWorks: Configuration Design/Weld Module Practical Creo: Top-down parametric design case.Automation artifact: batch processing of engineering data with Python (see the end of the article for sample code) Excel VBA development BOM automatic generation tool .

     5. 3 tips  to keep up with the forefront of the industry Patent analysis method:

     focus on: structural innovation points, material alternatives  Exhibition learning metho.

     6. Engineer's soft power cultivation  Technical document writing:

     Fault report template: phenomenon → analysis → solutions → preventive measures case: a device abnormal noise problem troubleshooting report  Cost control awareness: Establish a material price fluctuation table (such as 45 steel quarterly quotation) Simultaneous consideration during design: Generalization/modularity cost reduction action list:  Completed this week: Establish a personal design checklist . This month's goal: Dismantle 1 scrap equipment and write an analysis report  Annual plan: Obtain CSWP certification.
