Solidworks: Variable Pitch Ripple Pattern
This is a further exploration of a series of experiments I completed in 2021, where you can create a variable pitch pattern using a sketch 'graph' and then apply the…
Solidworks: Master Model Using Insert Part in Solidworks
This video covers creating a simple master model then using insert part to create parts. The parts then be assembled using the part and assembly origin, with the parts having…
Solidworks: Keyboard Configurator – Control via External Text File
Hello. Here's another old exercise from my vault of Solidworks stuff. I've set the keyboard up so the main dimensions are controlled via an external equation file. If you have…
Solidworks: Pipe Trim Blending Technique
This video covers a technique where a pipe (constant or variable diameter) is created around a chain of virtual/theoretical edges, then used to trim or split primary surfaces, ready to…
Solidworks: MK3 Pillowed Form/Corner
Hello! I found this project in my tutorial folder. I started it over a year ago and got distracted with work and thought it'd be good to complete. This is…
Air New Zealand 787 Cabin Animations
Air New Zealand approached me to produce animations of their new 787 cabins which have recently been unveiled. I have been working on and off with Air New Zealand for…
Solidworks Blends/Transitions
I've been putting together a series of videos on Youtube that cover different form blending and transition scenarios and some ways to solve them. The most recent is the headtube…
Modelling the Apple Magic Mouse form in Solidworks
A while back I modelled the Magic Mouse in Rhino as a learning exercise. I decided it'd be a good exercise to also model the main form in Solidworks and…
How to create a curved speaker mesh in Solidworks
This video covers my exploration of creating a curved mesh. Instead of creating a flat mesh and then deforming that, I created a tool to control the wires, then deformed…
Create a variable pitch pattern using the deform tool in Solidworks
In my previous two videos I had been trying to figure out a reliable and fairly straight forward way of using a sketch 'graph' to control the pitch of a…
