Solidworks Tutorial: Modelling a spoon
This tutorial shows one of the many ways to model a spoon. In the tutorial I cover using boundary surfaces, creating offset surfaces and also variable offset surfaces between thickness…
Solidworks Tutorial: Modelling a lozenge shaped button
This tutorial covers ways to model a lozenge button or form while avoiding the obvious tangent breaks that are present when modelling a lozenge with only lines and arcs. https://youtu.be/RnyPih8xAfQ
Solidworks Tutorial: Modelling the Eames Fibreglass Rocking Armchair Shell
This tutorial covers creating a single main surface for a seat shell, instead of using several smaller surfaces to create the same form. The second part of this tutorial covers trimming the overbuilt surface to an ideal boundary before adding the rolled edge.
Solidworks Zebra Stripe Alternative Image
A quick tutorial on using an alternative image for the zebra stripe analysis, instead of using the default stripes, which have a blurry edge. Using an image with sharp edges…
Solidworks Tutorial: A master model methodology using ‘Insert Part”
Using a master model to control derived parts means parts that share boundaries, surfaces, split lines etc, can be driven from a single part. This allows the modeller to modify…
Solidworks Tutorial: Surface modelling a three arm junction/n sided surface.
A tutorial covering one way to create a blend tangent to three other surfaces. This is done by creating two 4 sided surfaces, one of which is trimmed. This technique…
Solidworks Tutorial: Surface modelling a three sided surface.
A short tutorial that covers building a three sided surface from two 4 sided surfaces, including a trimmed boundary. If you will be offsetting surfaces to create a plastic part,…
Solidworks tutorial: surface modelling a domed button.
Here's a Solidworks surfacing tutorial that demonstrates one way to create a domed button, using offset surfaces to control boundaries and also using the fill surface feature. This modelling technique…
Testing B2M from Allegorithmic to create displacement and other maps
60’s interior
I've been testing out Bitmap to Material from Allegorithmic, so what better way to test than some lovely stone veneer from the 60's... I need to figure out a shag…
Modelling a pillowed surface in Solidworks. Similar to an old Iphone or a Macbook top
Here is my latest tutorial; modelling a pillowed surface in Solidworks. The mid section of the form is flat, with a pillowed surface running down to an edge, like a…
