Solidworks Miter Flange | Calculate Blank Size in Solidworks | Export Solidworks File to AutoCAD DXF | CADable | CADable tutorials

2 1 Intermediate
Welcome back to CADable with Engr. Ibrahim Omer! In today's tutorial, we're diving into a crucial feature in SolidWorks sheet metal: the miter flange. No worries if you're new – we'll walk through it step by step with an example. First up, we'll draw a rectangle and then transform it into a base flange/tab. Remember, miter flanges are a bit different from edge flanges – they need a sketch. We'll sketch four lines and tweak some settings to create a simple sheet metal box. Once our box is ready, it's time to figure out the blank size. We'll use the 'flatten' command for this. Next step? Exporting the file to machining software for cutting – think laser, wire cut, or EDM. We'll save it in DXF format, ready to go.

Importing Reference Images in Blender 4.0 | How to Add Reference Image in Blender | CADable | CADable tutorials Welcome back to CADable! I'm Engr. Ibrahim Omer, and today I'm excited to guide you through the process of importing reference images in Blender 4.0. Whether you're using this version or one above or below, you're in the right place! Let's kick things off by clearing out the default cube, light, and camera. With that done, hit Shift + A to add your reference image. Now, here's a little trick: initially, the image might not be perfectly placed, but fear not! Press Alt + R, and voilà, your image snaps into place just right. Need to tweak its orientation? Simply hit R to rotate it, perhaps aligning it to the xy plane. Chapter's of the tutorial: Introduction 0:00 Adding reference image 0:11 Press Alt + R to correctly place image 0:28 Press R to rotate reference image 0:38 Conclusion 1:01 This tutorial is perfect for beginners looking to hone their skills in Blender. Practice along with the video, pausing where needed, and don't hesitate to drop your questions in the comments below. I'm here to help you every step of the way.

Solidworks Swept Flange | Calculate Blank Size in Solidworks | Export Solidworks File to AutoCAD DXF | CADable | CADable tutorials

0 0 Beginner
Hi friends welcome back to CADable, this is Engr. Ibrahim Omer. In today's CADable tutorial, we're focusing on SolidWorks sheet metal and exploring how to use the swept flange feature. If you're new to this, don't worry – we'll guide you through it step by step. We'll start by drawing a rectangle, then turning it into a base flange/tab. Remember, swept flanges are a bit different – they need a sketch and a profile. So, we'll sketch four lines and adjust some settings to make a simple sheet metal box. Once our box is done, we'll figure out the blank size using the 'flatten' command. Then, we'll move on to exporting the file to machining software for cutting – like laser, wire cut, or EDM. We'll save it in DXF format, all set for machining. This tutorial is great for beginners. Take your time, pause if needed, and feel free to ask questions in the comments.
