SolidWorks Part Reviewer: Football Helmet
Football Helmet: While it would be easier to to use the side profile and bottom profile as direction 1 curves, and the middle profile for direction 2, the result would be a 3-sided surface with bad flow of the UV curves (all
... ContinuedSolidWorks Part Reviewer: Imported Sheet Metal
Sheet Metal: The imported sheetmetal model was mostly valid . After using Insert>Sheet Metal>Bends, the part would *mostly* unfold if received in STEP or Parasolid. There was nothing we could do to make it, or even a section of it, unfold
... ContinuedSolidWorks Part Reviewer: Hammer
Hammer: An extrude is used instead of a revolve to form the head of the hammer as proper draft for forging can be built into the extrude sketch but not the sketch for a revolve. A cut is used to shape the
... ContinuedSolidWorks Part Reviewer: Reverse Engineered Propeller
Reverse Engineered Propeller: This part is modeling differently from most SolidWorks parts. Because the model is a reverse engineer of an existing part using 3D scan data, design intent will not be built into the part. Many sketches will not be

Soccer Ball: Let’s have some fun! When you download this part you will learn how a soccer ball is created and learn the design process while doing so. You start off creating four planar triangles, linking the rectangles in the

Cartoon Dog Head: This Part is a multi-body solid which was created using mostly surface bodies with a few solid features added toward the end of the modeling process. There is a two section loft that uses a technique where a

Golf Ball: The location of the dimples on the golf ball will be based on a icosahedron: a polyhedron with 20 triangular faces, 30 edges and 12 vertices. The insert part feature is used to bring a completed icosahedron model into
