OVERVIEW

The Field Seeder System Vehicle was developed to address the need for efficient and reliable seed planting solutions across variable terrains. The project focused on reverse engineering a conventional precision seeder and redesigning it into a validated CAD model with enhanced functionality and manufacturability. Core objectives included optimizing the chassis, suspension geometry, and depth-control mechanisms to improve performance in uneven field conditions. This work combined design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles with tolerance and clearance validation, ensuring the system could be fabricated using CNC machining, welding, and modular assembly techniques. By integrating mechanical optimization with robust design validation, the project delivered a scalable and field-ready seeder system capable of supporting modern agricultural operations.

HighlightS

SUPPORTING MATERIALS

Additional Details

  • Reverse engineered a precision seed planting machine and developed a comprehensive CAD model with emphasis on manufacturability, modularity, and structural reliability. The project aimed to translate the fabricated prototype into a digital model that could be refined for CNC cutting, welding, and assembly validation
  • As an individual contributor, I focused on the chassis subsystem. My work involved creating the detailed SolidWorks model of the chassis and integrating it into the larger assembly to ensure proper fit and function.
  • I also performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to study load distribution, stress concentrations, and deformation patterns. This allowed me to validate the chassis design for stability across variable terrain and operational conditions, while also identifying opportunities for structural optimization and improved manufacturability.
