3D Exercise 124

Exercise 124

In this CAD tutorial we'll use the features: 

1. Extrude

As always, this is your anchor. In a routing or framing workflow, the Extrude command is typically used to create the heavy, solid mounting points.

• Function: You might extrude a flat base plate, a mounting flange, or a bulky central manifold block. This gives your tubular structures something solid to connect to or originate from.

2. Pipe

This is a highly efficient, specialized version of the "Sweep" command found in software like Fusion 360 or FreeCAD.

• Function: Instead of forcing you to sketch both a 2D profile (like a circle) and a 3D path, the Pipe command only requires the path. You simply select a sketched line, a spline, or an existing model edge, and the software automatically wraps a solid or hollow tube around it.

• Application: It is the fastest way to model brake lines, cooling channels, wire routing, or welded tubular steel frames. You can usually define the section as circular, square, or triangular, and instantly hollow it out by specifying a wall thickness.

All dimensions are in mm/g/s/ISO
