The little triangle that could: Parametric Regular Polygons

0 0 Intermediate
Let us tell you about the "Generator Triangle" method. This educational video unveils a straightforward technique to construct regular polygons using a single variable. Witness triangles seamlessly transform into polygons with adjustable sides. Explore parametric design principles as we dissect the process. With interactive visuals, grasp the method's accessibility for all learners. Ideal for students, artists, and those curious about the synergy of creativity and logic. Join us to demystify theoretical geometry, revealing practical polygon creation through "The Little Triangle That Could."

Alibre Design - How to Drive a Part From a Layout Sketch

0 0 Intermediate
In this tutorial I will use a 2D sketch of the layout of a fan scroll to generate a 3D sheetmetal part using Alibre Design Software. When producing a range of centifugal fans the performance of each particular fan in the range is governed by equations called the "fan laws". Once the actual performance of one fan in the range has been established the performance of all other sizes can be predicted by these laws. This makes producing a complete range of a particular type of fan an ideal task for a parametric 3D approach to produce the drawings and other details ready for manufacture. The main dimensions of our fan are based off the diameter of the rotor.
