SOLIDWORKS, Part Design 7, Lab Exercise 2

Hi there again!
My posting today is about another Bracket Part design. You can use the layout with all the dimensions for your designing practice. Have fun!





SOLIDWORKS, Part Design 6, Lab Exercise 1

Greetings!
Today's exercise is quite interesting as it involves various features such as the creation of additional Planes, Extruded Boss/Base and Cut on a rounded surface, Mirroring items, and the creation of a Rib.

SOLIDWORKS, Part Design 5, Sketch Exercise1

Greetings folks, here is a good exercise for you to sharpen your sketching skills or simply to just to refresh your genius mind! It's also great for "killing time", if you are too bored with nothing to do (hmmm...nothing to do? Does it happen to a lot of people?) and are about to grab that TV remote control. Have fun. Email if you are a novice in the field and have any question. Cheers.



Angular Measuring Tool

Greetings Folks!
Couple of months ago a Ceramic artist and instructor asked me to help him materialize one of his inventions using a Designing software. It was a tool he had created to help artists (ceramic artists) do angular measurements without having to spend too much time around this task and at the same time to enjoying the benefits of accuracy which this tool would provide. It was a lot of fun to be part of his endeavour. Here it goes, I posted a few views of both parts that make up this tool so you can see it. You will notice that several angular features were used to add the "holes" onto the wooden piece.







SOLIDWORKS, Part Design 4, Thread Plate

HA! FINALLY A RECTANGULAR PART!

Hi there, I had promised a more Mechanical inclined Part and here you have it. It's a very simple piece but it involves features I have not covered yet. I just realized that I had the Units on my Document Properties set up to Millimeter (mm). I changed it to Inch for this Part. If you want to follow this tutorial using the same dimensions as it was built on, maybe it's a good idea to use Inch as your Unit system as well, in case you do not have it already set as a default. If you don't know or forgot how to do that, I wrote an instruction page (as part of my TIPS series) so that you can follow. Just CLICK HERE to refresh your genius mind.

SOLIDWORKS, Part Design 3, Mug

IS COFFEE READY YET?

Alright, I just finished building a little mug. The process involves too many steps and it could result in too many details, It's actually fun to do that, as it challenges one's creativity and imagination. Hope that you will find the same fun as I do!


SOLIDWORKS, Part Design 2, Roller Bearing

I designed this bearing from mind. What I mean by that is that I did not have a part of that kind to serve as a model or any dimensions/specifications I could follow. All I used was a mental picture. Therefore, it may not be truly functional industrially speaking.


SOLIDWORKS, Part Design 1, Bowl

AN ANCIENT BUDHIST "SINGING BOWL"? MAYBE...
Here is a cute little exotic bowl I created using basically the Revolved Feature in SolidWorks.
