Designed in New Zealand by Formway, the Noho Lightly is a multi-purpose stackable chair, designed to use the least amount of material, while still passing BIFMA standards for seating. My…
This tutorial covers creating a 4 sided variable offset surface in Solidworks using 3D sketches, face curves, offset surfaces, boundary surfaces and global variables. Both exercises in this video cover…
I have recently installed Solidworks 2023 and thought I better have another look at the G3 constraint in sketcher. The subject matter is a bubble letter P, with a focus…
This video outlines a way to patch surface alterations onto a solid body, which can sometimes be problematic if the replacement surface is tangent to the solid surface that needs…
In this video I cover using the following functions and options within the boundary surface feature: Single direction, two direction, tangent influence, normal to profile, direction vector, connectors, surface analysis…
Sometimes when working on heavy models in Solidworks, it can be extremely slow using the selection manager to select a chain of edges when editing a boundary surface. A workaround…
In this video I cover one way of modelling a 'fillet to chamfer transition' in Solidworks using a variable fillet, delete face and a boundary surface. The setup is straight…
In this video I cover modelling the main form of the Rowenta EK55 hair dryer in Solidworks. I tried several approaches, before deciding that I needed to look at the…
I spotted the Ricoh Theta S a while ago and have been meaning to model the main form for a video. Turns out some areas were a bit trickier than…
This video is an update to an older exploration, using variables to control a form. I've updated the sections to use the G3 constraint in the sketcher and also used…
