3D Exercise 55

Exercise 55

In this CAD tutorial we'll use the features: 


1. Extrude


1. Revolve

Definition: A feature used to create shapes with rotational symmetry. How it works: It takes a 2D sketch profile and sweeps it in a circular path around a designated axis (a line or edge). You can revolve a full 360° for a closed shape or specify a partial angle (like 180° for a half-circle). Best for: Creating turned parts like axles, pulleys, bottles, cones, spheres, and tori (donuts).


2. Extrude

Definition: The most fundamental tool that gives depth to a 2D sketch, turning it into a 3D solid. How it works: You select a profile (closed sketch region) and pull it. You can add material (Join), remove material (Cut), or create a New Body. Best for: Creating the primary block of your part or cutting simple shapes out of it.


3. Fillet

Definition: Creates a rounded, smooth transition on an edge. How it works: It removes material from an outside corner (to make it round) or adds material to an inside corner (to reinforce it). Best for: Removing sharp edges that could cut a user, strengthening parts (stress relief), and improving aesthetics.


4. Chamfer

Definition: Creates a flat, angled bevel on an edge (usually 45°). How it works: Unlike a Fillet which is round, a Chamfer cuts a straight angle. You select the edge and define the distance or angle. Best for: "Breaking" sharp edges so parts slide into each other easily (assembly aid), or for a specific machine-part look.


5. Mirror

Definition: Creates a reflected copy of a feature, body, or component across a plane. How it works: If you are designing something symmetrical (like a car or a game controller), you only model the left half. Then, you use Mirror to generate the right half perfectly. Best for: Saving time on symmetrical objects. Never model the same thing twice!
