Thank you for the techniques that you shared. This is an excellent tutorial.

Very good example and a I like the way you explain everything.

Thanks so much for sharing this useful video.

How is the center hole of the part represented in the mold? I don't see a part that represents it. Is it just drilled after the fact? I appreciate the video - I have a super strange shaped object and I will see If I can apply any of your techniques.

Thank you so much! i believe this is just enough for me

Thanks for share. Exelent this demonstration.

Hello I am not sure but do you think if you made both sides of the cylinder taper the draft surface will sort out by using symmetry revolve cut ? and tracing your parting line from that middle plane that you created ?

wonderful job sir................

I have a question. How would one create a split for creating a cylindrical helical object? I want to mold just a normal helical cylinder.

To make a smooth transition on the cylindric hub you can make the 3D-spline tangent to surrounding split line elements. Create an split-line to split the surfaces of the "blades" and their fillets attaching to the hub but ignore the path on the hub. It will be split once you have a 3D spline. Then make a 3D-sketch on surface where you "convert entities" of the surrounding split line elements and set them "for construction". Then draw a 3D spline on hub surface and attach each end of the spline as "tangent" to the converted splitline elements. The 3D spline on the hub can now be used to split the hub surface. Once the surface has been split you can run a complete split line where you can now make the path use the split of the hub surface. When the split surface is now created using the split-line, the surface will be tangent as it crosses from hub to blade fillets and the split-plane becomes continuous and smooth.

Great, thank you very much, very useful

Thanks~~That's good~~Have you been using in PRO/E?

Hello do you think you can show us how to mold a coil

Nice job!

i would like to thanks you so much ,can you pleas give me the file to make same steps .if it possible best regard

Very cool video

I could not find the copy body option. What this video doesn't show you is that when that feature was created, he selected "translate/rotate" option at the bottom of the move/copy menu to take you to a different menu that gives the option to copy shown here at 5:40. Great video overall! I was just confused about the lack of a copy option. SolidWorks needs to improve that feature.

Thanks Geert. This is very old video. Today I would do it slightly different.

Javelin Technologies Inc. what would you change? Im struggeling with getting a nice parting surface on a much more complex propeller...

Great tutorial. I was not achieving a good result with parting surface by itself.

Where is the Part II video mentioned in the video? If there is a better way could you please create and post an update?

thanks spiderman

very useful video...

1:25 You should always try to create fully-defined sketches. So when you're requested to change a feature or the customer makes the change, importing the revised part into the file will result in fewer corrupted commands, let's hope. Nothing is guaranteed. Regarding the part file: Always use a copy the customers file & archive the customers version. Delete any links & store in a customer archive file safe from any accidental associations. It never hurts to remined everybody of this procedure to save the Designer & their employer headaches later from 'difficult' customers. As for the part: I would've asked the customer to redesign the fins for an easier better parting line. Not just for subtractive machining but to simplify the geometry to reduce build time. Just a thought. Thanks for the video.

Yep, you could ask the customer to redesign the part to make it easier for you and they get the next cheapest competitor to do it for them, you'll never know. Agree with fully-defined sketches. I'd prefer to let engineers go who can't understand the importance of using fully-defined sketches. Just do it!

Is it possible to upload the part file?

Hi, is interezante your example, the problem is that I get, you could put the way you did the piece.

hi, i want to how to make 4 cavity mold of single component, and how to add shrinkage of plastic material in component. waiting for your reply

Skill excellent :)

Can u help me with a mold problem ?

what if your "spline on surface" step has to span 3 or 4 surfaces?

In theory it should work. Have you tried that?

Javelin Technologies Inc. According to sw help.. You have to do a unique spline on each surface and connect the tangent points, but when I try to connect those points it just errors out.

Model plz

help please? brazil

I wouldve created a joint face without sharp edges!
