Light Bulb in SolidWorks
I was wondering what to make when I had a bright idea. Why don’t I make something that helps everyone see every day? Sooo, I decided to make a light bulb. The hardest thing to make was the filament because it is a helix around circle. The best way I found to create the filament was to use a sweep feature with a twist along path orientation. I also used directional and point lights in order to make the bulb look like it is on. The light bulb can also be found here at 3D content central.
