Course content

1 section23 lectures1h 38m total length
  • Introduction - Exploring the Idea of Creating a Travel Classical Guitar3:10
  • 3D Printing from Solid Edge and Guitar Assembly2:55

    Explore rapid guitar prototyping with Solid Edge by 3d printing components, adjusting tolerances, exporting, and using 3d rebuilder to test orientation before assembling headstock, neck, and body.

  • Testing the guitar for sound quality and if it will stay in tune3:00
  • Proportion and Flow - Improving the Body Design1:42
  • Opening a Sketch Outline of the Guitar Body in Solid Edge5:00

    Open a metric part in Solid Edge and import a guitar sketch on the XY plane. Calibrate scale, trace the outline with lines and arcs, and build a 3-D model.

Description

Find out how new engineering design methods like Sub-Division Modeling, 3D Printing, Generative Design and Synchronous Technology can help you develop prototypes faster along with how to validate a concept as quickly as possible and the issues of 3D Printing larger parts.   

Much of the class focuses on Sub-D modeling. The Solid Edge subdivision modeling environment generates a stylized body using a polygonal cage to control its shape. By continuously manipulating and subdividing the cage, you can add greater levels of detail and control until you have the shape you desire. Subdivision modeling provides a higher level of control than using polygons alone. It allows sharp edges in conjunction with smooth flowing surfaces.  With Sub-D modeling you can develop distinctively unique products based on organic shapes without the need for expert knowledge. Solid Edge subdivision modeling includes tools that provide advanced capabilities for shape creation, manipulation, and analysis. These tools allow anyone, even beginners, to quickly and easily create high-quality advanced shapes based on complex geometry.

If you are looking for more details on Generative Design take a look at my Udemy class: Generative Modeling - Designer Based Structural Optimization.  This class starts with the basics and works its way up to more complex examples.
