+SolidWorks Surfacing Training Level 5
Surfacing
Intensive

Course Duration: 24 Hours (3 days)
Ask about our week long surfacing intensive

Tuition: $1200.00 US

Overview:Students have the option in this near one on one instruction to customize this course to fit their requirements and modify the time from 3 days to as much as 5 days. Customization may involve custom tutorials and custom models or make the workshop more specific to plastics, industrial design, capturing form or proving form.

Prerequisite: 500 hours or SolidWorks Level 1

Topics:

  • 3d Curves and 2d curves together
  • Surface Loft and surface boundary functions
  • IGES and STEP imports and exports
  • Surface Offsets and Copy Move functions
  • Extend Surfaces, Surface Trims and Knits
  • Manage sweeping surfaces as Draft on complex Sweeps with respect to plastic part design
  • Learn to create special tool curves and surfaces that will help manage surface geometry manipulations.
  • project curves onto surfaces and and intersect surfaces to obtain curves. Learn to build geometry with those resultant curves.
  • use composite curves
  • use the 3d curve tool to sketch spine on surface
  • import images to sketch over
  • share with examples the Freeform, dent tools.
  • discuss surfacing methodologies with respect to Alias Studio and Rhino modeling techniques.
  • learn techniques using surfacing of forcing rounds onto solid geometry.

Discussion:

  • Discuss Mid surfaces as a technique used with top down design
  • Discuss techniques with respect to bringing in 2d and 3d IGES geometry
  • Discuss overbuilding with respect to tools and functions inside SolidWorks
  • Discuss plan of attack and modern day surfacing technique
  • Manage over molding with respect to tools we learned in the class
  • Discuss using curve tools to manage light reflections
  • Discuss g1, g2 continuity and light reflection with respect to product design and SolidWorks surfacing.
  • Discuss workflow with respect to capturing form. that is building a surface model from looking at a foam model.
  • discuss proving form by taking advantage of parent child relationships and maximizing equations in sketches.
  • discuss with examples three methods for Top down design using solidworks
  • share solidworks options for optimizing a proving form methodology while surfacing.


Projects:
Based upon student interests or job requirements.

sw surfacing
This example of a refrigerator door pull is a prime example of using curves and surfaces to generate a product that can be easily modified to obtain several iterations within one hour. Industrial designers and engineers alike can benefit from these modeling techniques.


In this exercise designers discuss technique for building 3d form and discuss principals of creating 3d forms with surfaces. Use Top down design to generate each part of this assembly.


This is a part of the two day SolidWorks surfacing workshop. This form is built a couple different ways all in an hour.

solidworks
Four part boundary game. This exercise helps the participant to understand how to complete models using only four part boundaries, tool curves and internal curves to boundary surfaces
