Parametric Arty Glass Model

A recent question asked on GrabCad is the inspiration for this quick tutorial. A Grabcad member. His task is tp produce a model of a existing glass tumbler. The basic model consists of two triangular profiles, the base profile separated from the top profile and rotated 180 deg. from the base profile. If you have the original in front of you it is possible to take a few measurements, but a big part of getting the final that you are happy with will probably involve a bit of tweaking to get something that looks right. This concept can be expanded as by building a good robust model, by adjusting values in the function editor, one of the many useful tools available in Alibre Design software, many different versions can be produced with little effort. Alibre Design is great product available for a price well bellow more fancied products like Solid Works and Inventor. For small time use Solid Works and Inventor are too expensive for the possibility of paying there way, which is why there are many pirated copies being used commercially. Alibre Design enables me to own an excellent tool that has paid its way.

Lobsterback Duct Bends Sheetmetal Method

Beginner
This is the method I use to construct lobster back bends with sheet metal tools that I can produce flat patterns from, These flat patterns can then be used to produce files for CNC profile cutting machines. I have come across other ways of doing this using surfaces, thickened and turned into sheet metal parts. The software I am using is Alibre Design. As the version I have is low on surfacing tools I have found this a good way to model lobster back bends, which I have been involved with the design and manufacture for many years.

In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of creating a circular heat shield in Alibre Design Expert using the Sheet Metal environment. We'll focus on the Bend Only option of the Flange command, demonstrating how to use it twice in a row to make the material form a circle. This technique allows the radius of the formed circle to be collinear with the tab from which the flange originated... Roughly...

Model Cast & Machine

Often we make a model of component that are cast and machined to finish. This is an example of a simple cast iron flange that will also be machined. I have used Alibre Design but the same approach will work with any of the main 3D products. By using configurations we have a model that does both for producing the pattern for casting and also details for machining.
