Explore surface modeling techniques in SolidWorks, using surface feature tools to create and trim multiple surface bodies, split and convert surfaces to solids, and build a complex part.
Explore surface modeling in SolidWorks by recreating a blower and then enhance its look and aesthetics with your new skills.
Learn to set up a SolidWorks part and enable surface, mesh, and direct editing tools, then insert a reference image by sketching a nine‑inch line and adjusting transparency.
Sketch the blower nozzle by drawing a 1.7 in circle on the right plane, then outline the blower on front plane with splines and a three-point arc, mirror and refine.
Master sketching the partition spline in SolidWorks by creating splines to define a separation contour, using left clicks and holding control to disable snap tracking, then exiting sketch mode.
Create a revolved surface from a spline with a 360-degree revolution, then generate a swept surface for the handle using a reference plane and an ellipse profile.
Master surface modeling in SolidWorks by merging surface bodies, trimming, splitting, and knitting surfaces into a single main body.
Apply fillets to edge details, fill surface holes, knit surfaces, and merge them into the main body, then extrude spline contours to create extended surface shapes in SolidWorks.
Offset the main body inward by 3 mm, then organize by renaming each surface extrude and offset surface in the feature manager using front view for orientation.
Apply the split and trim tools in mesh modeling to cut bodies, turn off visibility for inspection, and rename the resulting surface bodies.
Transform surface bodies into solid parts in SolidWorks by using splines and extruded surfaces, applying shells and fillets, then splitting for distinct solid bodies and refining with edge fillets.
Join the SolidWorks Users Philippines learning communities on LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube to stay notified of live trainings and continue advancing surface modeling in SolidWorks.
In this course, we will create a concept model using the surface modeling tools in SOLIDWORKS. Surface body is a zero-thickness geometry that can be utilized to create complex solid features.
Level up your part modeling arsenal with surface modeling in Solidworks.
Surface body is a general term that describes connected zeros thickness geometry. With surface bodies you can create complex part shapes in Solidworks.
In this learning course we will discover the surface feature tools in order to create a fairly complex part in Solidworks
What is Surface modeling?
Surface modeling is a method of displaying or presenting solid objects. This process involves converting between different 3D modeling types. Transform 3D objects to display procedural surfaces, verify imperfections, and apply smoothing. Learn how to create, manipulate, and analyze complex geometry using surface modeling techniques.
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.
Some of the key topics:
Drawing inspiration from a reference image
Creation of multiple surface bodies
Trimming and splitting bodies
Turning surface bodies into solid body.
By the end of this course you will get familiarize with surface modeling techniques in Solidworks
This course is intended for students and professionals who has intermediate knowledge about Solidworks. 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
