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…
Solidworks: Modelling a Proctor Model 1481 Toaster
I created this model after being given the challenge by a viewer of my Solidworks videos. This is not a tutorial as such, as I wanted to keep the video…
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
