1. Step 1: Understanding 2D drawing

   First of all we will try to understand the 2D drawing for impeller for centrifugal pump.

   

   In above drawing, 2 views are given out of which left side view looks simpler as compared to front view.

2. Step 2: Sketching the left view on plane

   Select right plane and sketch on it

   

   
   

   Then draw half sketch on same plane as we will be using revolve command

   

   
   

   
   

3. Step 3: Revolving the sketch

   Go to features, select revolve

   

   After revolve, the model will look like this

   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

4. Step 4: Creation of hole for shaft

   Select front face and sketch on it.

   

   Create a sketch using circle and lines.

   

   Go to extrude cut

   

   Select through all

   

   Finally it will look like this

   Select front face again and sketch on it

   

   
   

   
   

   Draw the sketch as shown in figure

   

   Now go to extrude, select depth as 14mm

   

   and click ok

   

   
   

   
   

   
   

6. Step 6: Create 6 blades

   to create other blades, we will use circular pattern

   

   Select face as reference, and feature as extrude. Enter no. of count as 6 and then click ok.

   

   It will look like this
