In this tutorial, We will learn solidworks sheetmetal basics. We will flatten sheetmetal in solidworks and we will be exporting our file to autocad for machining in .dxf format. Here, we will learn the following commands: 1) Miter Flange 2) Edge Flange 3) Hem 4) Sheetmetal Gusset 5) Sheetmetal Cutout 6) 3D Mirror 7) Appearance It is a good sheetmetal exercise for beginners and it will be a good practice for beginners. Kindly use play pause technique for practice. I have attached files in the description for practice. Feel free to ask your queries in comment section. I will try to answer each and every question.

How to Convert .OBJ Files to VRML in Blender

3D Printing

Beginner
Note: As of Blender 2.80, the ability to export VRML files was removed. On the bright side, if you use GrabCAD Print, you can still export full color models by way of a .OBJ file! You can learn here: https://grabcad.com/tutorials/how-to-use-blender-3d-software-with-grabcad-print. If you are using an older version of Blender, this Tutorial will teach you how to take an .OBJ file and convert it to VRML format to prepare it for 3D printing.
