Want to Improve your Modeling Skills in SW?

24 5 Intermediate
This, more than a tutorial, is a series of recommendations to improve your SolidWorks modeling skills. We cannot forget that if we are on the road and it has become easier, it is because others have already walked it and contributed their share to the evolution of us. List of some SolidWorks Masters from whom we should learn: Thomas Parel https://www.coroflot.com/parel/Portfolio1 Edward Eaton (Dimonte Group) https://dimontegroup.com/projects/mistronics-advantage-housing/ https://dimontegroup.com/projects/natus-echo-screen-iii/ https://dimontegroup.com/news-resources/ Mike J.

Second part of the collection of best practices and tips for a better and more satisfactory use of SolidWorks.

MODELING BOTTLE NECK FINISH THREAD

18 0 Intermediate
This is about acurate modeling of threads in a bottle neck finish. Sometimes we just model an approximation of the thread. But from a strictly technical point of view, this is a correct way to do it. A talented beginner, following the steps indicated here, can do this modeling. I hope you enjoy this, and that it is useful for you.

Surfacing With SolidWorks 16

13 0 Intermediate
This time we will see how to use 3D Sketches to make profiles and guide curves to create surfaces. Also how to use them to make auxiliary surfaces to reference them for tangency and curvature. And we will see how to use the excellent tool of the multiple views to work more comfortable in the three dimensional space. Don't miss the next lesson...

Mandalorian Helmet

12 0 Intermediate
This is a tutorial on how to model our version of the Mandalorian helmet. The model was done very fast, less than an hour, and we didn't worry so much about the measurements but the proportions. We didn't do a lot of details, just the basics to present it to a group of students. Anyway I think it can be useful for some SW colleagues. You can download the 3D model here: https://grabcad.com/library/mandalorian-helmet-11

Surfacing With SolidWorks 17

11 2 Intermediate
This time, always under the 3D Sketch theme, we will see the Spline on Surface tool. Another tool in the arsenal for surface modeling (and also with solids). Don't miss the next lesson.

Hunting Knife..

9 0 Intermediate
Modeling Breakdown of the Hunting Knife that we modeled a few years ago as a 3D modeling challenge. Many surface and solid modeling techniques are used in SolidWorks. We hope it will be useful in learning SW. You can find the 3D files here: https://grabcad.com/library/hunting-knife-16
