3. Mechanisms & Mentorship Video Series: Non-Contact Measurements
Ever wondered what it would be like to be mentored one-on-one by a senior engineer that’s using SOLIDWORKS to successfully deliver solutions to industry clients? My name is Rafael Testai, and in this video series “Mechanisms & Mentorship,” we’ll take
... ContinuedCreate a Cactus: SOLIDWORKS Tutorial
For this SOLIDWORKS tutorial you will need to download the cactus pot and cactus spike parts from the SOLIDWORKS blog below. In this tutorial I am going to demonstrate the use of loft using normal to profile constraints. I will also show you how to use component patterns within an assembly to add the spike onto the cactus.
