Human augmentation technologies are transforming healthcare,rehabilitation, industrial ergonomics, assistive living, sports, and personal mobility by improving human capabilities and enhancing quality of life.

• Description Students are required to conceptualize a Human Augmentation device or assembly of their choice using Autodesk Fusion. The design should reflect original thinking and real-world engineering intent. The proposed solution may address applications in healthcare, rehabilitation, industrial ergonomics,assistive living, sports, or personal mobility, and may include (but is not limited to):
• Exoskeleton Mechanisms
• Prosthetic Components
• Rehabilitation Devices
• Assistive Support Systems
• Ergonomic Enhancement Products
• Wearable Assistive Devices
• Adaptive Mechanical Aids From the complete assembly, participants shall identify one critical machinable mechanical component that is strictly manufacturable using either Subtractive 3-Axis CNC Milling or Subtractive 2-Axis CNC Turning.The selected component shall be clearly identified within the complete assembly, indicating its location and function in the Human Augmentation product. Participants shall also justify why the selected component is suitable for the chosen CNC manufacturing process.Using Autodesk Fusion, participants shall develop the complete digital manufacturing workflow for the selected component, including:
• CAD Modelling
• Manufacturing Setup
• Tool Selection
• Toolpath Generation
• Machining Simulation
• Toolpath Optimization
• G-code Generation The final solution should demonstrate good engineering design practices, manufacturability, machining efficiency, and effective use of Autodesk Fusion CAD/CAM capabilities.
• Expected Outcomes The proposed solution should include:
• CAD model of the identified critical mechanical component within the assembly.
• Justification for selecting the component for either Subtractive 3-Axis CNC Milling or Subtractive 2-Axis CNC Turning.
• Manufacturing setup and machining strategy.
• Toolpath generation and machining simulation.
• Optimized manufacturing process.
• Product renders (assembled and exploded views).
• Participation Guidelines For Idea Submission
• Each student team shall submit a PowerPoint Presentation (6–8 Slides) describing their proposed Human Augmentation solution.

The presentation should include

• Problem statement and proposed solution.
• Concept sketches.
• CAD model of the identified critical mechanical component within the assembly.
• Assembly view highlighting the selected CNC-manufactured component.
• Justification for selecting the component for either Subtractive 3-Axis CNC Milling or Subtractive 2-Axis CNC Turning.
• CAM workflow developed in Autodesk Fusion, including:
• Manufacturing Setup
• Tool Selection
• Toolpath Generation
• Machining Simulation
• Toolpath Optimization
• Product renders (assembled and exploded views).

NOTE: Physical machining or prototype fabrication is not required during the Idea Submission stage. Teams will be evaluated based on the proposed design,CAD model of the identified critical mechanical component, component selection, and digital manufacturing workflow demonstrated in Autodesk Fusion.

• Designs should be created using ONLY Autodesk Fusion and not copied or taken from any other source.
• AI Generated content is NOT ALLOWED.

For Grand Finale*: Students must use Autodesk Fusion to design and manufacture specific components to machine size within the given time period and present the following to the jury members:

• PPT explaining the final project
• Final Manufactured components
• Public link of the design
• Rendered images NOTE: *Grand Finale details to be revealed on competition day.
• The required 3-Axis CNC Milling Machine and 2-Axis CNC Turning Machine will be provided by the organizers during the Grand Finale.
