SOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Simple Sheet Metal Tutorial Part 2
Simple Sheet Metal Part 2: This part is centered with respect to the Right Plane and Sheet Metal features are used so that the part can be flattened out to create a flat pattern. This is part two in a six

Complex Machine Part 1: This is a machined part that has mostly extruded features with a few revolved features, two swept cuts and a boundary cut. Learn the process of creating this machine part by downloading the part below and reviewing
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Complex Weldment Tutorial Part 1
Complex Weldment Part 1: Since all the pieces are connected end to end they can be placed into one group, useing round tubing for the profile. All weldments need a 2D or 3D sketch which “acts” like the path of sweep. The

Simple Sheet Metal Part 1: This sheet metal part has a feature that determines the thickness and bend radius. A 14 Gauge Aluminum was used for this model. The Sheetmetal part is symmetric with respect to the right plane except for the
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Moderate Machine Part 2 Tutorial
Moderate Machine Part 2: This is a machined part that has mostly revolved features with some extruded features and a lofted cut. During the design process you will use convert entities. It creates an “On edge” relation that will update correctly
... ContinuedSolidWorks Part Reviewer: Simple Surface Part 1
Simple Surface Part 1: This part is an example of hybrid modeling techniques where geometry is created using a combination of solid and surface body features. It starts with some solid extrusion and cuts. Then surface features are used to
