3D Exercise 109

3D Model 109
Exercise 109

In this CAD tutorial we'll use the features: 

1. Extrude

Definition: Creates the main solid body. How it works: You sketch a profile (like a circle) and pull it into a cylinder. Best for: Creating the main reservoir or tank.


2. Pipe

Definition: Instantly creates a tube or rod along a sketch path. How it works:

  • The Advantage: You do not need to draw a circle and "Sweep" it. You just draw a line (the path).

  • The Action: Select the line, click Pipe, and Fusion builds the geometry around it.

  • Operation: Set to Join to merge it with the Extruded body. Best for: Spouts, handles, and plumbing lines.


3. Fillet

Definition: Rounds off sharp intersections. How it works:

  • The "Weld": Where the round Pipe meets the flat Extruded wall, the joint is sharp. Adding a Fillet here creates a smooth transition.

  • Crucial for Flow: If this is for liquid, a fillet helps fluid flow smoothly from the tank into the pipe. Best for: Blending separate bodies together.


4. Shell

Definition: Hollows out the entire combined shape. How it works:

  • The Workflow: You select the top face of the main body (the opening).

  • The Result: Fusion removes the inside material of the Extruded block and tunnels down into the Piped spout, creating a continuous hollow volume. Best for: Turning a solid "sculpture" into a functional liquid container.If you change the thickness of the original rib, the mirrored rib updates automatically.
