SOLIDWORKS Weldments
Let’s say I’m designing a welded table frame for an 8-station rotary indexer. It might look something like this: If I want to create a detailed drawing of the standardized mounting plate that goes on each of the sides of that top beam, it’s going…
If you’ve ever made a weldment in SOLIDWORKS , then you know how easy it is to create a multibody part without really having to think about it all too much. I mean, SOLIDWORKS automatically recognizes the cut lengths for structural members and makes a cut list…
Weldment cut list properties can be transferred to the mirrored part using either of the two following methods: Method 1 – Semi-automated: Create a weldment part template that will be used to create the mirrored part. This weldment part template, should have the ‘weldment’ feature…
This functionality has been long time requested by SOLIDWORKS users like you, as a quick way to determine the smallest box you can package your model in. Watch this video and tell the good news SOLIDWORKS brings to your colleagues from the estimating and shipping departments. They will love you for that! Update: After I finished creating this video I realized that this new functionality will be priceless for users involved with 3D Printing by minimizing the support material and the printing times. I am pretty sure you have spotted the same opportunity, but, just in case you are in doubt, I will try to prove this point next week with a second video on how to use the new bounding boxes enhancement for saving time and money while 3D…
Designing a Labyrinth game with SolidWorks
I’ve been a fan of the game of Labyrinth for a while. I spent hours as a kid mastering the X-Y controls to move the steel sphere from Start to Finish to Start to Finish, back and forth continuously. It was almost an obsession. I…
Have you created a library of new custom weldment profiles for use in SolidWorks, or have you added custom property information to some of the pre-existing weldment profiles? You may have noticed that if you’ve made changes to the either the profile sketch or some…
SOLIDWORKS provides a library of standard weldment profiles that can be used for structural members. However, you also have the opportunity to download additional profiles or create your own. Download Additional Weldment Structural Member Profiles Open the Design Library tab in the Task Pane Expand…
