Jeremy browning, I loved this video. I learnt a lot. I really love the technique of making lip feature. Because of this single video I started following your channel and subscribed it. The best thing about this video is that you're taking real product. Looking forward to similar or advance techniques video for product development. Thank you very much ❤️.
@@MLCCADSystems Positive feedback... *Believe me, you deserve it!* Please keep making such videos because there are many YT channels out there who teach tips and techniques. But best thing is about this channel is that *you combine tips and techniques with real product design/real industry practices.*
This morning I was watching your video and at 42:00 video time, I looked at the time at the bottom right showing 10:44 am. It scared the sh** out of me and shouting I'm late, I'm late. I was supposed to meet someone for breakfast at 9:00 am. Looked at the clock it's ony 8:15 my time. Anyway excellent video well explained. Thanks
HAHAHA! Sorry about that! We usually take out the task bar from videos but since this one is being done in real-time it adds some authenticity to the performance. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you it's great video showing real product design tips and tricks in SolidWorks. Your method of making lips and grooves is awesome. By the way in 34:36 you could use Thicken cut instead of offsetting and cut with surface. All the best and please keep up bringing these videos more often
We're glad you enjoyed it! There are so many ways to approach any task that it is nice to see how others approach it and test out alternative strategies. Subscribe to our channel, we've got more from this same author coming very soon!
You really won me over when you dumped the Lip/Groove feature! I struggle with lip/groove features on organic bodies, especially when the parting line is not linear. I'm trying to reassess my foundational modeling strategies when dealing with this type of part. I'm modifying the parting line on a prototype right now and it has proven to be very destructive to other sketches and features. I'm locked in on the overall form because the circuit board has a precise fit so I'm thinking of ways to take advantage of this. I think the intersect tool will really come in handy. Nice tutorial!... I was just thinking about adding the S key to my mouse gestures too. Good idea.
GOOD TIPS HERE IS ANOTHER ONE!!! USE DYNAMIC SIMMETRY when you are making a croquis, and you have to make SYMMETRY, mam, don't water time!!!! Just put your constructive axis and select dynamic symmetry and then just make just ONE SIDE and the other side makes automatically.
Another great tip! I tend to avoid dynamic symmetry because it adds but not deletes dynamically, so when I'm not sure how many entities I will need I like to keep it simple and work on half of the sketch and then mirror when satisfied.
11:20 I have to 'accept' my plane first? Okay, i accept it for what it is. Still no way to define its height in relation to the one below it. That blue line appeared magically and i cant tell whats going on cause 320p is max quality (Okay. Double click is what brought it up. Would still prefer these videos in just slightly better quality)
We only have the webinar recording for this one instead of a local capture, but it was too good not to share. We work very hard to keep the video and audio quality as high as possible, thank you for the feedback. If you are looking for videos you can follow along like a tutorial, check out www.mlc-cad.com/training/solidprofessor/
Great video! I however noticed that in my case SolidWorks had automatically calculated the parameters for the Lip and Groove (they were not all 0) so that the finished curvature and lines were smooth without need for extra steps, not sure whether this is standard
It really depends on the complexity of the geometry, but the software is constantly improving so I'm glad the default workflow worked out for you! Thanks for sharing your experience!
26:50 - 35:50 I understand that it could just be a way to show the tools but using surfaces was really not needed at all to make these features. The first part could have just been an offset plane referencing the front plane and then split, and the lip/groove could have been done using the same offset planes then split and using 2D sketches to split. If there was a specific reason you decided to use surfaces i would love to know. (Can replace Split feature with Intersect when using planes, but only split works with sketches)
There are a lot of ways to approach any design task, and a lot of constraints that are specific to each design challenge and manufacturing situation. This was simply an illustration of one approach that solves some of the common issues users face, but it is by no means the only way to do it.
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I really enjoyed the video I learnt a lot, do you have a video on how to also model the electrical components of the speaker? I was hoping I could finish the speaker model off. Thanks again.
Check out online portals like 3DContentCentral or Grabcad, they have a great collection of standard electrical packages you can download. Most electrical components are pretty simple to model, good luck!
There are so many ways you could approach a design challenge like this, hopefully this approach was insightful but it definitely isn't the only way to do it!
wow man this webinare is great even i am a CSWE but i used to do the lip groove manuley the mate controle also is great the structur system is wow really big time saving
That was great amount of important info Thanks a lot And hope that you can cover some important topics in next webinar about using standard tool box in the design But please make sure to record the video with better sound quality
A quick shortcut to hide or show a body or part is to hover over it and use the Tab key on your keyboard. Shift+Tab over the hidden component will make it re-appear.
Intersect will both add and remove material, while split will only break bodies up. Intersect is newer and more powerful, it can even automatically create a body representing the interior volume of a container without first creating a body to subtract from.
I know this is demonstrating one way and of course there are many ways to do any task, but for the lip groove part after you made it into 3 bodies, you used a sketch with a sketch offset. Would it not have been easier to then do another offset with your tolerance, then extrude cut? Unless it is somehow more robust or more modifiable this way, I don't see why create a surface and offset that surface.
As designs get more complex you'll start to find that the simple workflows may not fully achieve your goals. Surfacing is a great set of tools for when challenges get too complex due to curvature, complex intersections, or your specific needs. I hope that helps!
My mind is blown, I rarely use equations but I know I should as often as possible. I love your surface techniques, making the lip was brilliant. Solidworks is a big warm blanket with seemingly endless tools and techniques, it gives me a lot of comfort when I am designing. Subscribed!
I believe this webinar was recorded only through our webinar software, which uses low bitrate audio encoding. Normally we simultaneously record the audio locally in addition to the broadcast using a higher quality microphone, but missed it this time. We posted it anyways because of how great the presentation was!
Thanks! We've got some speaker enthusiasts who had a lot of fun creating the model and subsequent presentations, but I think they prototypes were the best part 😁

This has been the most helpful and actually useful tutorial I’ve watched in some time. Thank you for this.
Glad it was helpful! We'll try to create more like this in the future.

I feel a bit late to watch this video while i've been using Solidworks for years.
Such a great tips, thank you for sharing.
Of course! Happy you're still finding value in the video :)
Great information, I’m designing something right now and definitely going to put in best practices 👍
Fantastic! Glad you found it useful!

31:20 Before demonstrating surfacing, why not use "delete & fill" after Lip & Groove?

wow man this webinare is great even i am a CSWE but i used to do the lip groove manuley the mate controle also is great the structur system is wow really big time saving
Thank you, he did a fantastic job creating this demonstration and the tips it contains.
fastest 50 minutes video i've ever watch. I never realized i'm watching this since 45 minutes ago really soft and simple.
Thanks! Imagine taking a full training class with him, we have some really fantastic technical experts.
That was great amount of important info
Thanks a lot
And hope that you can cover some important topics in next webinar about using standard tool box in the design
But please make sure to record the video with better sound quality
Great suggestion, I know we use toolbox in several videos but we're hoping to get one focused on toolbox primarily in the near future.
Please make a similar video of SolidWorks tips.thank you so much.
Great suggestion!
Lol at 45:07 blame McMaster for uploading a bearing with the individual balls inside modeled. Look at the Solid Bodies folder with 16 bodies!
excuse me, how did you hide and show up the object?
A quick shortcut to hide or show a body or part is to hover over it and use the Tab key on your keyboard. Shift+Tab over the hidden component will make it re-appear.
This was a very helpful tutorial thank you very much
Glad it was helpful!
really beautiful and amazing work .. looking for more videos from you
Thank you! Cheers!
what is the difference between intersect and split?
Intersect will both add and remove material, while split will only break bodies up. Intersect is newer and more powerful, it can even automatically create a body representing the interior volume of a container without first creating a body to subtract from.
What kind of engineer uses imperial wtf?
Change is hard. Engineering in the USA is like playing the game on the highest difficulty.
oh oh my god.you are so amazing bro.glad to find you.
Thank you so much 😀
I'm solidworks designer can you help me
Wowoowowow 👌
