Machine design is the process of creating new machines or improving existing ones by applying engineering principles, creativity, and practical considerations. Machine design is a complex process that requires the use of various methods to achieve the desired result.

Machine design is an area of study in which one learns to design machine parts by utilizing its whole knowledge and experience in field of mechanical engineering. DESIGN FOR STRENGTH- safety is first so part to be designed should strong enough to withstand forces in its service.

These are the steps/procedure involved in Machine Design.

• Identifying the need for the Equipment or a Machine.
• Selecting the possible Mechanisms.
• Analysis of Forces.
• Selection of Materials.
• Design of Elements.
• Modification.
• Detailed Drawings.
• Production.
