SOLIDWORKS Patterning
There are a lot of great demos out there of what the SOLIDWORKS Variable Pattern (introduced in SOLIDWORKS 2015) can do, but not very many that show how to do it. In this video, I will show you how to create a Variable Pattern with…
Save time by using a SOLIDWORKS Hole Series in your assemblies!
If you have an assembly where you would like to create a counter-bored hole in one part, a clearance hole in another, and end it all off with a threaded hole, a SOLIDWORKS Hole Series is a quick and easy way to accomplish all of…
SOLIDWORKS 2017 introduces bidirectional circular patterns, both symmetric and asymmetric. Asymmetric patterns can have angle, number of instances and spacing set differently for each direction. Instances to skip are added in the same selection pane for both direction. SOLIDWORKS 2017 Resources Access our resources page to get everything you…
A new CAD solution for designing with fabrics and composite materials [VIDEO]
As a SOLIDWORKS Designer there may come a time when your product design requires you to work with industrial fabrics or composites. You’ve got your SOLIDWORKS 3D design and now you need to determine how to cover it in the required fabric or composite material, produce patterns for manufacturing,…
I am very excited to announce the addition of ExactFlat for flattening and patterning textiles from within SolidWorks. Designing with fabrics has historically been a very cumbersome process and has really been an art more than a science. ExactFlat has revolutionized this process by leveraging…
