3D Modeling: Create Intertwined Surface Bands in Onshape

Unleash the power of Onshape's surface modeling tools to create stunning interwoven bands on a cylinder! This video dives deep into the process, guiding you through each step.
This tutorial is perfect for:
Onshape users: Take your modeling skills to the next level by exploring advanced surface techniques.
Designers and artists: Learn how to create organic and visually intriguing surface features for your projects.
Anyone interested in 3D modeling: Discover how to utilize Onshape's surface commands for unique design effects.
The concept is from this channel: / @nxt7685 -many thanks!
Throughout the video, you'll master these advanced Onshape features:
Mutual Trim: Learn how to precisely cut and merge surfaces to achieve a seamless interwoven effect for the bands.
Helix Creation: Discover how to generate a helical curve, which will act as the foundation for the interwoven pattern.
Surface Sweep: Master the art of sweeping a profile along the created helix to form the individual bands with a smooth, curved flow.
Mate Connector: Explore how to use mate connectors to ensure the bands fit perfectly onto the cylindrical surface, creating a cohesive design.
By the end of this video, you'll have a 3D model of a cylinder adorned with beautiful interwoven bands, crafted entirely using Onshape's surface modeling tools. This model can be further customized, used for design presentations, or even 3D printed!
