Modular Playground Climbing Frame
A large outdoor play-equipment case study covering modular frame development, component mapping, prototype assembly layout, and redacted drawing documentation. The public version shows the approved render, Draco-compressed model, and redacted PDF pack with no internal identifiers.
Project Overview
The source folder contains prototype assemblies, modular top bars, leg sections, ladder parts, platform modules, rope and cargo-net assemblies, connector brackets, and manufacturing reference drawings. The website presents the project as a public-safe product-development case study.
Project Category
Large modular outdoor play system
Design Method
SolidWorks modular assembly development with redacted manufacturing documentation
Main Components
Slide tower, swing bays, monkey bars, rope nets, cargo features, platform modules, brackets, ladder parts
Material Context
Tubular metal frame with plastic, rope, net, and platform components
Standard Context
EN 71 and outdoor activity-toy context considered; no public certification claim
Software
SolidWorks
Output
Public render, redacted PDF pack, and Draco-compressed GLB web model
Status
Public-safe case study prepared
Engineering Challenge
The main challenge was managing a large configurable product assembly with many frame variants, rope features, platform parts, brackets, and activity modules while keeping the web-facing model small and understandable.
Design Solution
The final public case study uses a simplified approved render, a heavily compressed GLB, and a redacted PDF reference to explain the modular design process without exposing internal drawings or client-sensitive names.
