Learn how surface modeling creates the exterior aesthetics and contours of a product in Onshape, including inserting reference images, building surfaces with commands, and turning surfaces into solids.
Recreate the model by following a guided sequence of videos, starting with a reference image.
Learn to set up a public Onshape document, import a blower reference image, and construct a precise sketch using lines, dimensions, and coincident constraints for surface modeling.
Create the base surface by revolving a spline and converting to a surface, then design the blower's handle with a curved ellipse profile and a sweep.
Extrude splines to define blower details using surface mode, adjust top view to symmetric extrusion, and hide other surfaces while managing sketch visibility.
Trim excess surfaces in Onshape by using split with a revolved feature, create a section view, then knit and boolean union to combine surfaces, delete extraneous bodies, and apply fillets.
Patch holes with the fill tool, knit surfaces with a boolean union, apply a fillet with radius three, then offset the surface inward using a section view.
Carve out the blower details in Onshape by repeatedly splitting and deleting surfaces, selecting inner and outer surfaces, and using keep tools to refine the main body.
Learn to convert a surface into a part in Onshape by uniting surfaces with boolean operations, splitting, deleting, and finally using the fill tool to create a solid body.
Apply a shell to hollow the part with a 2 millimetres thickness, add fillets to sharp edges, and use a surface to split the part into two halves.
Advance your surface modeling in Onshape by practicing with items that harness surface modeling. Connect with the Onshape users worldwide communities on Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube for live trainings.
A surface model is a thin shell that does not have a mass or volume. Surface modeling is a technique used for creating the external aesthetics of a product or design. It gives you the ability to build out a visual representation of an objects exterior and its contours.
Discover how to utilize Onshape's surface modeling tools in creating complex parts. Learn how a series of surfaces make up to create a part.
What is Surface modeling?
Surface modeling is a method of displaying or presenting solid objects. This process involves converting between different 3D modeling types. B. Transform 3D objects to display procedural surfaces, verify imperfections, and apply smoothing. Learn how to create, manipulate, and analyze complex geometry using surface modeling workflows.
Why master Surface modeling?
Surface modeling allows you to visually represent the appearance and contours of objects. that is, the surface. These objects can be mechanical parts like engines, or complex organic shapes like animals.
The key topics of this course are:
• Inserting a reference image
• Creating surfaces using different commands
• Turning a surface into a solid part
• Adding surface modeling techniques in your design arsenal
This course is intended for students and professionals who has intermediate knowledge about Onshape. For those who has experience in parametric CAD modeling packages you will be amazed with the fun challenges, tips and tricks that we are going to share
