Reverse Engineering a Part.<\/h2>\n

Someone needed a high-performance engine part shortened by 5\/8″, so I measured the part with a caliper\u00a0and sketched it in SolidWorks so I could reduce the height of the piece for it to be produced in a CNC milling machine.<\/p>\n

Screenshot Tutorial:<\/h3>\n

If you’re familiar with SolidWorks, you’ll be able to get the gist of how I modeled this part from the screen shots. Look on the left-hand side of the screenshot to see which step of the “tree” I’m on.<\/strong> It should go in order from top to bottom. You’ll be able to pick up on when I was sketching, when I extruded a solid or a cut, when I inserted a plane or a fillet, etc. If you are working on a project and think this model can help, but you’re unclear on a step, comment or email and I’ll try to help.<\/p>\n
