CATICS 3D01_05

Catics - 3D01_05 Model
Exercise 95 - 3D01_05

In this CAD tutorial we'll use the features: 


1. Extrude

Definition: The primary tool for creating 3D solids. How it works: You select a closed sketch profile and pull it to give it volume. Best for: Creating the main body of your part.


2. Offset Plane (Construction)

Definition: Creates a sketching canvas parallel to an existing face but at a specific distance away. How it works:

  • The Problem: You want to draw a feature that floats above your part, not directly on it.

  • The Solution: Select the top face and drag an Offset Plane up 50mm. Now you can sketch in "thin air" relative to your base. Best for: Creating multiple levels or "floors" in your design.


3. Plane Along Path (Construction)

Definition: Creates a sketch plane that is perpendicular (90°) to a curve at any specific point. How it works:

  • The Problem: You have a curved line (spline) and you want to draw a shape at the very end of it, facing the correct direction. You cannot use the standard X, Y, or Z planes because the curve is angled.

  • The Solution: Select the curved line. Fusion creates a plane that "rides" along the curve like a roller coaster car. You can drag it to the very end (Distance: 1.0) to get a perfect sketching surface. Best for: Setting up the profile for a Sweep or creating a flat face on a curved tube.


4. Hole

Definition: Creates standard drilled and threaded holes. How it works: It uses industry standards (ISO, ANSI) to automatically cut the correct size for a specific screw (e.g., M6). Best for: Pivot points, bolt holes, and mounting locations.


5. Fillet

Definition: Rounds off sharp edges. How it works: Applies a radius to corners. Best for: Ergonomics (making a handle comfortable) or removing stress concentrations.


All dimensions are in mm/g/s/ISO
