SOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Complex Surface Part 5 Tutorial
Complex Surface Part 5: This extrusion represents the outside profile of this shelled out part. This model demonstrates Hybrid Modeling (use of both Solid and Surface Bodies to create geometry). When the Trim command knits the surfaces together as part of
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Handle With Overmold Tutorial
Handle With Overmold: This part uses a surface extrude with draft to ensure the correct draft angle at the parting line, which is the right plane on this part. A boundary surface is created from the edge of the Control Grip
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Volume Variable Bottle Tutorial
Volume Variable Bottle: This bottle will take advantage of symmetry whenever possible.The bottle will have three solid bodies to help make the internal volume easier to calculate. A Helix Circle Plane is used to create the circle used to set the size
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Cosmetic Bottle Tutorial
Cosmetic Bottle: This multi-body model demonstrates the use of guide curve driven sweep to create three unique shapes. The three bottle shapes might look like three separate parts using lofts but in reality are three configurations using just one sweep.
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Impeller Tutorial
Impeller: This single body part starts as a multi-body and shows how to use body patterns to control geometry in ways that feature patterns can’t always do. This part includes two body patterns, surface cuts, helix curves and a Combine feature.

Wire Whisk Assembly: This wire kitchen whisk demonstrates insert molding of the wire whisks and hook into the interior handle shafts. Also, the wire whisk body is patterned in a circle and move/copied to the correct height offset. Download: Wire Whisk Complexity: Moderate
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Normal Cut Clip Tutorial
Normal Cut Clip: The Normal Cut option is used to extrude a cut through a sheet metal bend to create geometry that will be correctly elongated when the part is flattened. It is critical to know that leaving Normal Cut disabled would
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Fillet to a Sphere Tutorial
Fillet to a Sphere: The most obvious way to create a sphere is sketch a half circle and use the revolve feature to create the sphere. However, it turns out that it’s possible to turn a cube into a sphere using
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Water Filter Cap Tutorial
Water Filter Cap: This part was inspired by the water filter cap on a refrigerator. Due to the deep shutoff that creates the handle, the parting line of this part could have been really challenging to model. Using Split Part offered
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Fire Sprinkler Cage Tutorial
Fire Sprinkler Cage: The cage is modeled as a multi-body part using Sweeps along both 2D and 3D sketches. It utilizes circular patterns instead of mirror to emphasize repeated parts. Download: Fire Sprinkler Cage Complexity: Basic Features: 3D spline, sweep, mirror, circular pattern Learn
