“Take the time to learn and understand top-down modeling,” Nolan advised, “because having all of your parts referenced together properly can save you time when making changes.” The team also addressed another key component of top-down modeling in Onshape: “Part Studios are the best thing...
Generous finger clearance around the product was added in the paper pulp trays for easy unboxing for those with limited hand dexterity. Large, easy-to-read text is featured on the outside of the packaging to make it easy to identify each component of the Aloe Care ecos...
Now it’s time to make a suitable gearbox for the DC motor and this controller board. Custom Servo 3D Model I designed the gearbox for this custom servo motor using Onshape. The design of the gearbox depends on the DC motor of course. As I mentioned we can use any size DC motor in ...
I've just started using Onshape, moving from Creo & Windchill. I am lost as to how many documents I've created, how many part numbers have been assigned. Little by little I am importing assemblies, many use many of the same parts and I need to keep track of what parts have bee...
How To Make RealView Work In SolidWorks on a Mac RealViewdoesn’t work by default when you install SolidWorks on a Mac but there is a workaround you can use to make it work. To get RealView working in SolidWorks running on Windows on your Mac follow these instructions: ...
“For an automotive company to produce a part, they may need five to six iterations between design and simulation,” notes Julien Simon. “The design can take two to three days to iterate, and the simulation can take close to a full work week to complete. So, if you make five iteration...
Fig. 1. Top: Clara.io, a cloud based 3D editor and renderer. Bottom: Onshape, a cloud based CAD system. What apps need 3D data? There are categories of applications, which invariably have to deal with 3D data, such as the aforementioned 3D modeling and CAD modeling software. Aside from...
Precision: CAD mitigates against human error and ensures accurate dimensioning, thus improving the quality of parts and products. (It is, however, vital to point out that despite how much CAD has evolved and how sophisticated many programs are, it’s still possible to make errors.) ...
Another consideration for the activity space is that we both enjoy board games, often the kind we want to leave set up for a while. So we would like to have a dedicated activity table (i.e., not the dining room table) to reduce conflicts between eating and games/projects. So what is...
