Pada video sebelumnya ( https://youtu.be/qmZgXg_zIow?si=NPcxOyBuHoNTvCYh ), saya menampilkan model mainan plastik berbentuk bintang. Nah kali ini saya akan membuatkan desain atau konstruksi mold-nya untuk model tersebut. Proses cetaknya menggunakan sistem tiup atau "blow mold", yaitu bahan plastik dialirkan ke mold dengan proses ekstrusi. Mold menutup lalu dilanjutkan dengan proses tiup atau blow sehingga plastik ekstrusi tersebut menempel pada dinding mold membentuk profil sesuai cetakan. Ada pisau pemotong dengan tebal 1 mm di pinggir profil bintang. Serong 45° dengan kedalaman 3 mm. Untuk membuat cetakannya bisa dilihat di videonya. Terima kasih. Semoga bermanfaat!

CATIA | How to Create an Extrusion Not Normal to the Sketch Plane
The Savvy Engineer
in
Modeling
1

Beginner
Learning “How to Create an Extrusion Not Normal to the Sketch Plane” in CATIA is essential for engineers, designers, and CAD professionals who want to create complex and realistic 3D models. In many real-world designs, parts are not always aligned perpendicularly to a sketch plane — for example, angled brackets, turbine blades, or aerodynamic surfaces. Understanding how to extrude features along a non-normal direction allows you to accurately represent these advanced geometries. This skill enhances your ability to model with precision and flexibility, giving you more control over the orientation and direction of your features. It helps you go beyond basic extrusions, enabling you to handle sophisticated assemblies and meet specific design requirements. Moreover, it improves your efficiency in mechanical design, product development, and simulation workflows, since you can generate accurate shapes without relying on multiple sketch planes or workarounds. By mastering this CATIA technique, you develop a deeper understanding of the software’s geometry control tools and gain a competitive edge in design engineering. Whether you work in automotive, aerospace, or industrial design, knowing how to extrude features not normal to the sketch plane is a powerful skill that reflects true professional-level modeling expertise.

Extrusion of a self intersecting/open profile

Normally CATIA does not allow user to extrude an open or self intersecting profile. It is not possible to extrude such profile unless you define a thickness of the extrusion. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://catia-tnt.blogspot.com/2017/10/extrusion-of-self-intersectingopen.html -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SolidWorks | How to Create an Extrusion not Normal to the Sketch Plane
The Savvy Engineer

Modeling

Beginner
Learning “How to Create an Extrusion Not Normal to the Sketch Plane” in SolidWorks is an important skill for engineers and designers who want to create advanced and realistic 3D models. In practical design work, not all features are perpendicular to their sketch planes—many mechanical parts, brackets, housings, and aerodynamic components require angled or directional extrusions. Knowing how to extrude in a non-normal direction allows you to produce such complex geometries with accuracy and control. This technique expands your modeling capabilities by enabling you to define custom extrusion directions based on edges, planes, or vectors. It eliminates the need to create additional reference planes for every angled feature, saving valuable time and improving design efficiency. Moreover, it enhances the precision and flexibility of your designs, ensuring they meet functional and aesthetic requirements in real-world applications. By mastering this feature in SolidWorks, you develop a deeper understanding of 3D geometry relationships and parametric control. It’s a crucial step toward becoming proficient in advanced part modeling and product development. Whether you work in mechanical, aerospace, or industrial design, being able to create extrusions not normal to the sketch plane demonstrates professional-level skill and a solid grasp of complex modeling concepts.
