LEGO - 03 Using Data from LDraw

20 0 Intermediate
Sometimes LEGO bricks don't fall into the regular 0.8/1.6mm rule. This will explain how to get "lumpy" 3D surface data from LDraw DAT files and use them to create your own intelligent parts. *I use the AutoDesk Inventor Pro suite, which includes Inventor Pro and 3D Studio Max. I will discuss using certain file formats, but you need to determine what your software will import/export. *I've been told that IV 2017+ will let you measure the LDraw data directly in Inventor, removing the whole 3DMax conversions steps.

tutorial 6 ( ansys workbench ) / ( cutting tools simulation

15 6 Intermediate
just be aware of that the question input as if ( speed , time , dimension ) is not real it mean you can't use it as academic project . i just wanted to show you the processing of cutting tools simulation therefore with alter input data you can use it as real project . for real input data you can use https://grabcad.com/library/cutting-tools-simulation-1

Inventor Derive

14 0 Intermediate
The derive command allows you to use models and assemblies as geometry and toolbodies within other part files. For 3D printing it's a perfect way to section complex parts so they can be printed in simpler pieces. Subsequent operations can be performed on the derived part without affecting the original source models and assemblies. Sketches, workplanes, and other work features may also be used from the source models.

LEGO - 04 Extracting Data from LEGO Digital Designer (LDD)

How to create NPT (national pipe taper) threads using inventor

13 3 Intermediate
I have had people ask me on here how I model npt threads for some of the parts I make, so I figured I would put it out there for others to see as well. Note: if you look at the threaded models I have on this website you will see that I have clearly taken more time on some of them than others, this tutorial will teach you how to do it the right and proper way.
