3D Exercise 113

3D Model 113
Exercise 113

In this CAD tutorial we'll use the features: 


1. Extrude

Definition: Creates the rough solid block or "clay" of your object. How it works: You sketch the outline (profile) and pull it into 3D. Best for: Establishing the overall size and shape of the part.


2. Fillet

Definition: Rounds off sharp corners. The Golden Rule: You must apply your major fillets to the outside of the solid block before you use the Shell tool. Why?

  • Uniform Walls: If you round the outside corners first, the "Shell" tool will automatically create perfectly rounded inside corners for you. This creates a constant wall thickness, which is critical for plastic molding (to prevent warping).

  • Stress: Sharp inside corners are weak points where plastic cracks. Filleting avoids this.


3. Shell

Definition: Hollows out a solid body. How it works:

  • The Magic: You don't need to draw the inside walls. You just select the Top Face (the opening) of your solid, filleted block.

  • The Action: You type a thickness (e.g., 2mm). Fusion removes all the interior material, leaving a thin skin that perfectly follows your exterior shape. Best for: Instantly turning a solid block into a functional cup, box, or housing.


All dimensions are in mm/g/s/ISO
