Creating a Working Arbor Press in SolidWorks
Throughout these lessons, we will learn how to use some of the basic to intermediate sketch and feature tools that are available in SolidWorks. Software required: SolidWorks 2014.
What you'll learn
Throughout these lessons, we will learn how to use some of the basic to intermediate sketch and feature tools that are available in SolidWorks. Moving beyond the standard features, we'll learn how to use the tool library, where standard fasteners and power transmission components may be found. We'll also bring together the finished parts to form a working assembly. By the end of this training, we will have learned to work with the standard mates, along with the use of limit and gear mates in SolidWorks. Software required: SolidWorks 2014.
