Surfacing tutorial: Watering can
I haven’t done much technical how-to yet on this blog, so I guess it’s time for a surfacing tutorial. Folks ask for this sort of stuff, and there is precious little on the web that actually has step by step instructions for this sort of modeling.
So here’s a link to a 14 page PDF tutorial with sketch picture images and a final part to use as reference.
I hope you get some usefulness out of this. Please comment back here if you find problems with the text or procedure.
Below is shown a photograph of an actual product as well as a screen shot from the SolidWorks window. The tutorial works best with SolidWorks 2007 due to some splines improvements, but will also work with previous versions although I haven’t tried that. The sample part is SW07.
