STEM – Science Technology Engineering and Math. If you combine these subjects with RC Racing, Tony Schumacher – U.S. Army Top Fuel Dragster and seven-time champion and SolidWorks customer, 25 engineers from the US army and community, along with a great
... ContinuedLobster Trap Using Weldments
This time I decided to make a part using the weldments feature and explain how I went about it. I made a lobster trap using only weldments. Even though this lobster trap is made out of wood, weldments still can
... ContinuedPepper Grinder
The inspiration for this post came during dinner with my family. This project seemed to be fairly straight forward, however once I got going I realized that the bottom grinding mechanism was harder to figure out then I first thought.
... ContinuedStapler in SolidWorks
Here we are – the ultimate office supply. This stapler was fun to model. Thanks to my new caliper, the model is exact to the stapler I found in my drawer. The only exception is the springs, which are either
... ContinuedStaple Remover in SolidWorks
This staple remover was fun and simple to model, and provided me with a great opportunity to try out my new caliper. I used Thin Features and plenty of thoughtful design intent to expedite the process. Who would have thought office
