If you’ve ever scene a carbon bike frame up close, you’ll notice that the blends at each joint are fairly complex, at least from a solid modeling perspective. Trying to use the fillet tool for geometry like this is just going to leave you feeling frustrated and confused. By using the boundary surface tool and… Read more »

Creating a Multi-Body Weldment Cut-List in SolidWorks
If you’ve worked with Weldments, in SolidWorks, before, you’ve probably utilized the weldment cut list in a drawing to keep track of structural members. If you haven’t, the Weldment cut list functions as a Bill of Materials for parts that utilize structural members. Because the weldment cut list applies to multi-bodied parts, you can use… Read more »
Speed up Your SolidWorks Modeling Process with Contour Selection
Reusing sketch geometry can save you quite a bit of time in SolidWorks. Rather than creating multiple parallel sketches to produce different features, you can create a single sketch which can then be used for multiple features. This can be achieved using the contour select tool or the select contour box, in the property manager,… Read more »
