Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2018 Extrude and Revolve Features

Project Summary

You are designing a FLASHLIGHT assembly that is cost effective, serviceable and

flexible for future design revisions. The FLASHLIGHT assembly consists of various

parts. The BATTERY, BATTERYPLATE, LENS and BULB parts were modeled in this

project.

This Project concentrated on the Extruded Boss/Base feature and the Revolved Boss/Base

feature. The Extruded Boss/Base feature required a Sketch plane, Sketch profile and End

Condition (Depth). The BATTERY and BATTERYPLATE parts incorporated an

Extruded Boss/Base (Boss-Extrude!) feature. A Revolved feature requires a Sketch

plane, Sketch profile, Axis of Revolution and an Angle of Rotation.

You also utilized the Extruded Boss/Base, Extruded Cut, Fillet, Chamfer, Revolved Cut,

Revolved Thin-Cut, Shell, Hole Wizard, Dome and Circular Pattern features.

You addressed the following Sketch tools in this project: Sketch, Smart Dimension, Line,

Rectangle, Circle, Tangent Arc and Centerline. You addressed additional Sketch tools

that utilized existing geometry: Add Relations, Display/Delete Relations, Mirror Entities,

Convert Entities and Offset Entities. Geometric relations were utilized to build symmetry

into the sketches.

The BATTERYPLATE utilized various Mold tools to develop the Core and Cavity

tooling plates required in the manufacturing process. Plastic parts require Draft. The

Draft Analysis tool determined areas of positive and negative draft. Features were

modified to accommodate the manufacturing process.

Practice these concepts with the project exercises. The
