Learning resources to go deeper
- For theory and sizing of elements (shafts, springs, gears, fasteners), use standard texts like “Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design” or “Machine Design” by Khurmi & Gupta.
- Use curated online resource hubs and course playlists for structured progression in machine component design.
- Join engineering/CAD communities and forums to review professional drawings, ask design‑for‑manufacture questions, and get feedback on your parts.
If you say what level you are at (pure beginner vs experienced dev getting into hardware) and which CAD you plan to use, a tailored step‑by‑step learning path can be outlined.
