... ContinuedFruit Crate: 3D Sculptor & SOLIDWORKS Tutorial
For this 3D Sculptor and SOLIDWORKS tutorial. I used xShape from the 3D Sculptor role on the 3D Experience Platform to create some realistic pieces of fruit. For the purpose of the tutorial I only demonstrate modelling the apple and
... ContinuedToy Balance Scales: SOLIDWORKS Tutorial
In this tutorial I wanted to play around with a range of features and tools to create a set of toy balance scales. Within the tutorial I cover a range of things from creating an assembly with several mate types,
... ContinuedGiraffe Teddy in 3D Sculptor: SOLIDWORKS Tutorial Part 2
This is part 2 of a 2-part 3D Sculptor tutorial to create a Giraffe teddy, if you want to follow on and create this model, you will need to have completed part 1 first. Across both tutorials see how I used
... ContinuedGiraffe Teddy in 3D Sculptor: SOLIDWORKS Tutorial Part 1
This is a 2-part 3D Sculptor tutorial to create a Giraffe teddy using only sub division shapes. Across both tutorials see how I used the cone and cylinder shapes to create this Giraffe form, and then export it into SOLIDWORKS
... ContinuedAdding Physics to Make Rendering Realistic
One of the greatest challenges in rendering is to simulate the actual condition in real life – gravity, contact, friction and motion, etc. With SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional, it is no longer a problem because we can use physical simulation to
... ContinuedCreating Art, as an Engineer
Join a SOLIDWORKS LIVE Design episode that demonstrates that engineers do have an artistic side which can be explored by leveraging the power of 3D Sculptor’s app called xShape.
... ContinuedMechanism Library: Microscope Passive Lock Tutorial
I’ve had the privilege of interviewing over 50 engineers while co-hosting the “Being an Engineer Podcast.” I’ve noticed a trend of senior mechanical engineers mentioning that tearing apart and reverse engineering products/gadgets is one of the optimal ways to improve
