Detailing Your Large Assembly Drawings Within Seconds in SOLIDWORKS – Detailing Mode
Working with a higher performance CAD environment is the major criterion these days in the design community within SOLIDWORKS. Now we have a new option for opening the drawing within seconds and make changes in drawings to communicate with our
... ContinuedKirby Made His Own “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” Lightsaber
Learn how Kirby Downey, a user creator in our community, made a red lightsaber from scratch in honor of the latest Star Wars movie, “The Rise of Skywalker” – designing all the components in SOLIDWORKS before making it come to life!
... ContinuedThe Impact of Image Quality on SOLIDWORKS Performance and File Size
SOLIDWORKS Image Quality settings have the biggest impact on file size and system performance. We always assumed that it would have an impact on overall performance also. The effect varies widely across different files, so we decided to do SOLIDWORKS
... ContinuedImpossible Bearing Tutorial
Currently, we have people out there developing and working with 3D printing to create rapid prototypes and also people pushing 3D printing as technology to create final products. Below is an example of a design that can only be created
... ContinuedA Working Miniature Tower Crane
In this blog and video we go through the learning process of designing, coding, 3D printing and building our own tower crane.
... ContinuedCreating a Wearable Iron Giant helmet
In this tutorial we are making a wearable Iron Giant helmet in SOLIDWORKS and then use basic prop making techniques to add detail and finish the helmet.
... ContinuedForced Perspective in SOLIDWORKS
In this blog we show how you can use SOLIDWORKS to create forced perspective illusions that can be 3D printed and used in real life.
... ContinuedHigh-Quality Finishing – Part 2
Welcome to part two of this series on how to give your 3D printed parts a high quality finish. In Part One we went through how the prop was designed, printed, and how we sanded and painted it to get the perfect surface finish before adding the silver paint and weathering to round it all off. I
... ContinuedHigh-Quality Finishing – Part 1
The two techniques we will be presenting here is good ol elbow grease followed by the second where we will be doing some silicone and resin moulding if you need more than one. This will then be split into two parts to make it easier to absorb.
