Locate, then fasten.
Shallow seats position the side plates at the base and camera platform. Recessed screw heads keep the outer surfaces clear.
MECHANICAL DESIGN / CONCEPT STUDY 01
Small footprint.
A clearer perspective.
A compact RGB-D camera head, explored through six custom parts. Designed around component integration, accessible fastening, and a more considered internal structure.

02 / THE DESIGN THINKING
Every part has a purpose.
A simple structure, refined around the details that make an assembly easier to position, fasten, and inspect.
SIX CUSTOM PARTS / EXPLODED ARRANGEMENTMake room for adjustment.
Slotted camera mounts allow ±2 mm of travel. A removable upper plate provides access to the camera mounting screws.
Give the cable space.
A machined POM guide provides a full-height opening, with 0.5 mm nominal clearance around a 6 mm cable.
03 / ENGINEERING STATUSA concept with
A concept with
evidence behind it.
Geometry, mounting alignment, mating contact, and interference were checked. All six exported parts passed general CNC geometry checks, with twelve blind-hole depth warnings documented for shop review.
This is an independent concept using assumed dimensions. Actual shell and camera fit, strength, vibration, thermal performance, production tolerances, and native SolidWorks deliverables remain outside the verified scope.
