Using Solidworks for over four years, I only ever used the sketch and features tabs. I simply never found an object I could not create with those mechanics and felt that I knew the potential that Solidworks had for creating 3D models. I now see that I have been wrong. This video has opened my eyes to the possibilities I had been ignoring all this time. Good stuff.
Same dude we didn't even learn about surfaces at all lol My assignment was to model a few everyday items and we only learned how to Boss Extrude/Cut, Boss Rotate Functions, and Sweep Functions plus basics in assemblies so I thought a spoon would be easy haha Ended up asking an engineering buddy of mine how he would start, he said with the surfaces feature tab and a sketch which puzzled me so I looked it up and found this very helpful video
@@brandonlambert1586 To be fair, surfacing is an advanced method for 3D modeling. Normally it is offered as a separate training at software resellers after you take the basic skills class. When dealing with product design that have what is know as compound curves and B-splines this is when surfacing really shines for the design of the part. In plastic part design ( I design plastic injected products) surfacing is used regularly and sometimes in conjunction with normal extrudes in some cases. The reason is that wall thickness for plastic parts need uniformity for good injection flow. After a part is designed in surfaces, trimmed, and then knitted, you complete the part by specifying a thickness for the walls. Solidworks will create smooth equal walls throughout the part as long as the radius is not too small. Have a great day! Solidworks since 1997!
A very easy to understand video about a seemingly difficult part! I was actually afraid of surface modelling but after grasping the concepts discussed in this video, I am feeling confident. Thank you. Keep up the good work!
I’m getting into surface modeling. I feel I’ve mastered all the features and sketching tools in Solidworks but Surface Modeling is just a whole different world in solid works, I feel like a beginner again but it’s fun
12:46 You could not pierce because your plane 1 was not intersecting the segment you chose to pierce to (Your plane 1 was not defined by intersecting the point but by an offset distance to the first plane)
Thank you for this tutorial! It's been three years since you made it, and I only just discovered it. Perhaps surface modeling in SWX is possible to learn after all!
Hahaha! Before computers and 3D modeling it was even harder to make a spoon! Because you'd have to make so many real prototypes BEFORE the design was approved! Today, you can make several designs and submit for review BEFORE you make a 3D print of the product or part. 3D modeling software has saved everyone thousands of dollars and countless amounts of man hours . I guess you can say I'm a fan after using SolidWorks since 1997! Have a great day!
I need a lot more work. I was able to make the spoon, but I'm not sure I could do it on my own. I need more practice with surfaces. This was a little hard to remember all of this. Thank you
Very nice work, please professor I have been trying to model that spoon I am on the last stage about to perform the surface trimming, but it did not work it keeps telling me cannot partition surface, the trim tool and target do not intersect. if the trim tool is a 3D sketch make sure the 3D sketch segments are coincident to the surface you are trimming. I dont know what to do again.
Very nice, clear tutorial, thanks! Just so you know, a couple of times when you said "horizontal distance", you really meant to say "Vertical distance" -no biggie.
Sir, really informative, but without using select manager also the required boundary surface can be created and also because of that you need not have to extend the boundary surface for the end part of that spoon that you did, I tried and I got the required spoon shape.
Hi. Thanks for your teaching, but in the last it doesn't let me to trim surface. It say this error: Can not trim due to error on target body. Why this happened.
Hi! Fine tutorial. I have tried going through it twice, but when I try knitting the surfaces, only the two middle ones are knit together, the outer two don't. I have followed the tutorial in every detail, so it seems quite strange. Is there any secret trick to make it work, or is it just a coincidence that I face this twice at the very same point in the tutorial?
When you're making a point tangent, what are you making it tangent to? The point is already shared between two curves Im having trouble understanding it
That was new to me too. I usually choose the 2 lines that need to be tangent. But thinking about it, maybe it chooses the lines that are connected to that point. Idk
You used a tangent guide to align the surfaces to each other, but there is no surface tangency condition. Is there none in sw or did you just not apply one? How can I check for surface tangency in my design? Switching over from catia.. Thank you very much!
Great video yaar!! By next video please show keyboard also, where we can know what are key u r using!!! Also highlight text video like (shift+circle) etc so it will be more easier for beginers like me

SW is super powerful. Crazy the things you can do with it.
@@josegonzales5913 ++
Same using for2 years and never touched the surface tools.
Excellent instruction. Even on faster playback you were easy to understand. A spoon is a great thing to model. I learned much. Thank you.
Your videos are always fast paced without missing any details.
I have a exam today. I learned more with your videos in one night, than with my teacher in the whole semester! Thank you!

Ya my friend took a class and he knew more than the teacher. Teacher loved him because he helped the rest of the class.
yeah - such is the way with youtube channels like this. I did a SW course and dumped their tutorials for ones like this and passed.

*smooth equal wall thickness
straight to the point, no unnecessary explanations. good job!
Exactly 😅

IVE LEARNED MORE ON THIS CHANNEL ABOUT SOLIDWORKS THAN AT 4 YEARS UNIVERSITY FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. TY. I LOVE YOU.
I'm learning a lot from your videos, thanks.

I have a CSWP and I'm still a little intimidated by surfaces.
@@brandonthesteele how hard is the CSWA exam? I’m taking it at the end of this semester sometime around may. Do you have any tips for me?

You could not pierce because your plane 1 was not intersecting the segment you chose to pierce to (Your plane 1 was not defined by intersecting the point but by an offset distance to the first plane)
I haven't touched Solidworks in over a year. This was a great refresher. Thank you for creating this video.
It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.
Your videos have no parallel that I have found. Excellent stuff! Thank you!
Very efficient methods and the example is complex. Helped my Berkeley E26 lab assignment greatly. Thank you.
weird flex but okay
@@rajtagore6047 Berkeley's not even a flex bruh
@@ddh8624 what is why it is a WeIRd flex
O_0
Very good basics for surfacing as a beginner I found it very useful to grasp how to build profiles
You are a legend. This and the other spoon tutorials totally saved my ass.
So easy but so hard if without thes video
Thanks!
That is what I think also.
Thank you for this tutorial! It's been three years since you made it, and I only just discovered it. Perhaps surface modeling in SWX is possible to learn after all!
Great tutorial on surfaces. Very helpful for a novice and for the experienced
Wow! The surface tools are powerful. Thank you.
I have been trying to change from Fusion to Solidworks and your video made things so much easier. Thanks :)
Thankyou for explaining why you need to do certain things instead of just doing it. You're awesome. Thankyou very much
thank you so much for this great tutorial. I learned many things from your video and I'm keep watching and learning more from you. Thank you again.
Thank you ❤ its very easy to understand your videos every time when i watch i learn something new
It was very helfpful to understand some of the logics behind the design. Chapeau Mr
YOU ARE THE BEST .. A BIG HELLO FOR INDIANS PEOPLE FROM EGYPT
Thank you very much! Its really hard to actually draw a spoon if you dont know how. Even though its a daily use item.
Greetings,
Jeff
Thank you so much for teaching... Whenever I got problems in solidworks..I come here!
Great sir , I like your way of Explanation 👍👍👍👍👍.
I am very delighted to see your videos and you deserve some price
I never thought making spoon is this difficult.
this is actually a spoon-feeding tutorial.. hahahaha
It's actually much worse in real life! LOL Check out Liberty Tabletop where I am the designer/toolmaker.
@@crunchymetal omg! But you'd use the same shape for the basic spoon, fork, knife and change the handles? Calavera!

Surfaces are very very difficult to make
I need a lot more work. I was able to make the spoon, but I'm not sure I could do it on my own. I need more practice with surfaces. This was a little hard to remember all of this. Thank you
Thanks! wonderful SOLIDWORKS instructing videos! 😎
Very interesting, you explain in detail, perfect, I really enjoy listening to your presentations
Thanks so much for making this!! :D It made my homework make way more sense!
Thank you for sharing! 👍👍👍
I like your videos, because you sometimes make a mistake and when you correct it, it points out what mistake can be made.
Very nice work, please professor I have been trying to model that spoon I am on the last stage about to perform the surface trimming, but it did not work it keeps telling me cannot partition surface, the trim tool and target do not intersect. if the trim tool is a 3D sketch make sure the 3D sketch segments are coincident to the surface you are trimming.

Same problem
Go through your sketch it'd be open somewhere
Thank you for this excellent surfacing basics video
great video, helped me a lot to develop a part like this spoon
Thank you! I found a surface that was confusing.
It’s always a pleasure to follow your SW courses…. 🤓
Very nice, clear tutorial, thanks! Just so you know, a couple of times when you said "horizontal distance", you really meant to say "Vertical distance" -no biggie.
This was so genius 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 great work sir
Sir, really informative, but without using select manager also the required boundary surface can be created and also because of that you need not have to extend the boundary surface for the end part of that spoon that you did, I tried and I got the required spoon shape.
Thanks, you helped me understand several gaps that I had.
This is very helpful. Thank you!
7.58 can you explain how did u make the ( make pierce thank you)
Excelente vídeo, siempre me había complicado con las superficies, éste vídeo ayuda mucho, gracias por tu tiempo.
Sir in the start and end session you are using boundary surface. . Why we are not go with loft....
Thank you very much i learnt so many important things from your video.
Wow! Thank you for sharing! I liked your video and your lecture too. Successfully made. I learnt new arc technique too!
Oh my God, love it, love your work, and your channel, keep the good work 😆😆😆
Thenk you my brather this is very good lesson..
Klass
Amazing video! Thank you!
Respect for you , u are a really amazing teacher , thanks a lot for share your knowledge bro !!
Very good video. I learned a few more things about using surface tools.
What version of SW is used in the video?
Hi. Thanks for your teaching, but in the last it doesn't let me to trim surface.
It say this error:
Can not trim due to error on target body.
Why this happened.
Did you try selecting sketch 2 from the tree manager?
There may be occurred undefined in your sketch. The spoon of sketch must be a continuous curve. i.e. fully defined.
Absolutely no one:
RUclips recommendations: How to make a spoon in SolidWorks
At 18:17, can you use Ruled Surface? Instead of creating boundary surface.
Thank you for tutorial. Can you explaine how to creat press form for this dimension of spoon and account the flat blank for spoon?
ممنون از این کلیپ آموزشی که گذاشتید
nice, simple explanation nothing to be missed,.
You are e great teacher sir
You make good job sir👍
Çok faydali deilmi hocam
Your video such a good thanks sir lot of things I learn
To all the engineering students. Keep practicing this. School will only have you take 1 or 2 classes on cad but it's super important

Дякую! Ви великий Шаман!
i can't fillet the edge of the spoon. Please let me know what the problem? Thanks you a lot! :D
It wont let me do the final trim. cant select the knitting, suggestions?

Nice,Thanks Brooo💙💎
bro What do you do exactly in real life.. are you part designer?
I'm facing a problem. @15:28 it shows me error when i select the second direction (boundary surface). Help please :( ...
Were you able to solve that problem? I'm in the same situation

i got confuse cause it gone wrong sometime but i learn a lot, thanks sir
your videos are always very helpful! :b
Well Done! Very Informative. Thank You.
Sir, Suggest me Best laptop for CAD CAM 😀
Champion mate, excellent tutorial
Brill vid mate :)
I could not made first surface it showing " can not create solid , using solid surfaces.
can u help me?
what are your appearance settings
Your videos are very trainer. Thank you.
is it possible to sketch multiple plane in front plane like you did in right plane?
This metod is good using curve rather than spline ,project curve for surfaces.
thanks any way.
it's completely as same as my exam question in college.Thanks!
Which software has used ?
What is the feature of the graphics card?
I will try it with Pro E. Looks quite similar
