Modeling a Clockwork Type Spring with Alibre Design

Alibre Design is a low cost 3D modeling and 2D drafting application that is functionally similar to Solid Works and Inventor, but at a fraction of the price. It does not come with surfacing tools, FEM, or animation, but if I had a requirement for these functions I can purchase them as ad-dons. As a small time, semi- retired CAD contractor if I purchased Solid Works or Inventor I would not make any return on my investment, I would need to be unethical and pirate these software's or be prepared to never make a profit but only a loss. Alibre Design, for the most part is quite like using Solid Works or inventor but had a couple of features not found in these two applications. The method I use in this tutorial is one of these features.

Model Cast & Machine

Often we make a model of component that are cast and machined to finish. This is an example of a simple cast iron flange that will also be machined. I have used Alibre Design but the same approach will work with any of the main 3D products. By using configurations we have a model that does both for producing the pattern for casting and also details for machining.
