3D Exercise 104

3D Model 104
Exercise 104

In this CAD tutorial we'll use the features: 

1. Rib

Definition: Creates a thin wall or web support from an open sketch curve. How it works:

  • The Magic: You do not need to draw a closed triangle and extrude it. You just draw a single diagonal line floating in the air between two walls.

  • The Action: The Rib tool automatically extends that line down and sideways until it hits the solid walls, filling the gap with a web of material. Best for: Adding structural strength (stiffeners) to L-brackets or plastic enclosures without adding excessive weight.


2. Mirror

Definition: Creates a symmetrical copy of a feature or body. How it works:

  • Efficiency: Instead of drawing two separate ribs, you model one. Then you select the Rib feature and the center plane to copy it to the other side. Best for: Symmetrical reinforcement.


3. Extrude

Definition: Creates the main solid shape. How it works: Creates the base L-bracket or housing walls. Best for: The primary geometry that the ribs will attach to.


4. Fillet

Definition: Rounds off internal corners. How it works:

  • Structural Integrity: A sharp corner where a Rib meets a Wall is a weak point (stress concentrator). Adding a fillet here spreads the load and prevents the part from snapping. Best for: "Blending" the rib into the main body.


5. Chamfer

Definition: Cuts a flat angle on an edge. How it works: Removes the sharp outer edge. Best for: Aesthetic finishing or creating a "lead-in" for bolts.


6. Hole

Definition: Creates mounting points. How it works: Drills through the bracket base. Best for: Bolt holes to mount the bracket to a wall.
