Viewer Challenge: Solidworks Model of the TP Link Deco Mesh WiFi Upper Surfaces
Firstly, apologies for the audio! I squeezed this video in waiting for a late night video call…This challenge was sent to me by Jamie (thanks!) the top surface of the…
Modelling a Y Branch Blend in Solidworks
I spotted a drill design that had been posted recently on Core77 and thought the Y branch blend on the product would make a great modelling exercise. This video covers…
Solidworks to Rhino Surface Evaluation Macro
Now and then I check Solidworks surface output in Rhino as I have much more control over the evaluation mesh density in Rhino. In my previous video I imported a…
Solidworks: K Transition
This video is an exploration of a few ways of approaching a K transition, where 4 edges meet at a single vertex. Thanks to Schalk for sending this file to…
Solidworks: Symmetry Issue Using Normal to Profile in Boundary Surface
I recently noticed a discrepancy when trimming extruded surfaces, using another surface that I thought was symmetric. After further investigation it appears using 'normal to profile' in boundary surface, in…
Panelling Experiment in Solidworks
This video covers what I discovered in my first exploration of panelling in Solidworks. Fairly successful however there is a lack of flexibility when it comes to changing the grid/panel…
Solidworks: Fillet Feature Order
When modelling in Solidworks (or other tree based parametric modellers) there's a rule of thumb; you should add fillets near the bottom of the feature tree. Unfortunately, this can result…
Solidworks: Creating a Zipper
I had a comment on my stitching video that the technique was useful for making a zipper, so I figured I'd have a go at my own zipper. This uses…
Solidworks: Creating Stitching
I recently had to add indicitave stitching to a project in Solidworks and this video covers the way I created the geometry. The stitching sits inside a depression, that replicates…
Solidworks: MK4 Pillowed Surface and Corner
I was working on making my MK3 pillowed form model into one that is fully controlled via equations and global variables. While doing this, I decided that there had to…
