Swept, Lofted and Additional Features Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2018

The Thread feature is composed of the following:

ThreadSection and ThreadPath.

The ThreadPath contains the circular sketch and the

helical curve.

Most threads require a beveled edge or smooth edge for

the thread part start point. A 3 0° Chamfer feature can be

utilized on the starting edge of the trapezoid face. This

action is left as an exercise.

,1/

-;Q~ Create continuous Swept features in a single step.

Pierce the cross section profile at the start of the swept

path for a continuous Swept feature.

,1/

-;Q~ Un-suppress the Pattern feature to resolve both the

Pattern feature and the seed feature at the same time.

The LENSCAP is complete. Review the LENSCAP

before moving onto the last part of the FLASHLIGHT.

HOUSING Part

The HOUSING is a plastic part utilized to contain the

BATTERY and to support the LENS. The HOUSING utilizes

an Extruded Boss/Base, Lofted Boss, Extruded Cut, Draft,

Swept, Rib, Mirror and Linear Pattern features.
