Hi friends welcome back to CADable. This is Engr. Ibrahim Omer. In this tutorial, we will practice lofted surface command using a handle example in solidworks. Here we will use three profiles with a guide curve. This will be solidworks practice exercise 31. After creating profiles and guide curve, we will convert our surface to solid using thicken command and lastly we will apply appearance to our part. I hope you like it. It is a good exercise for beginners and it will be a good practice for beginners. Kindly use play pause technique for practice. Feel free to ask your queries in comment section. I will try to answer each and every question. Keep practicing as practice makes a man perfect.

Solidworks Miter Flange | Calculate Blank Size in Solidworks | Export Solidworks File to AutoCAD DXF | CADable | CADable tutorials

Welcome back to CADable with Engr. Ibrahim Omer! In today's tutorial, we're diving into a crucial feature in SolidWorks sheet metal: the miter flange. No worries if you're new – we'll walk through it step by step with an example. First up, we'll draw a rectangle and then transform it into a base flange/tab. Remember, miter flanges are a bit different from edge flanges – they need a sketch. We'll sketch four lines and tweak some settings to create a simple sheet metal box. Once our box is ready, it's time to figure out the blank size. We'll use the 'flatten' command for this. Next step? Exporting the file to machining software for cutting – think laser, wire cut, or EDM. We'll save it in DXF format, ready to go. Chapters of the tutorial: Introduction 0:00 Sketching centre rectangle 0:23 Sheetmetal base flange/tab feature 0:40 Creating sketch for miter flange 0:55 Solidworks miter flange feature 1:31 Calculate blank size of the box 2:32 Saving file in DXF format for machining 2:43 Conclusion 3:22 This tutorial is perfect for beginners looking to sharpen their skills. Take your time, hit pause if needed, and don't hesitate to drop your questions in the comments. Remember, practice makes perfect!

Welcome back to CADable! I'm Engr. Ibrahim Omer, and in today's tutorial, we're diving into Practice Exercise 40 where we'll be modeling a rubber grommet in SolidWorks. We'll start by sketching the cross-section of the grommet and then revolve it 360 degrees around the axis of revolution. Next, we'll add the necessary radii to the outer edges for a polished finish. Finally, to give our grommet that authentic rubber look, we'll apply a rubber appearance. Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your SolidWorks skills, this tutorial is perfect for you.
