Special Features: Sweep, Loft and Wrap

The Cup

For this exercise we are going to make a simple cup. In this exercise we will

learn a new option when creating features called "Thin Feature," the basics of the

Sweep command, a new Fillet option to create a Full Round fillet and a review of

auxiliary Planes. This is the sequence of features to complete the cup:

Revolve Thin Create Path Sketch Auxiliary Plane Create Profile Path

Make Sweep Cut inside of Cup Full Round Fillet Handle Fillet

8.1. - For the first feature we will create a "Revolved Feature" using the "Thin

Feature" option. This option makes a feature with a specified thickness based on

the sketch that was drawn. Make a new part with a template based in inches.

Select the "Front Plane" and create the following sketch. Notice the sketch is an

open profile with two lines, an arc and a centerline. (Remember to make the

diameter dimension about the centerline.)

Thin Features can be made

using either an open or closed

sketch but using an open

sketch will always make a thin

feature.
