New SkillCoach Onshape CAD Video Tutorial | Using The Conic Sketch Tool To Shape Morph Stackable Food Storage - An unabridged step-by-step video tutorial with commentary covering the “Whys” and “Hows” from a design and parametric modeling point of view.

Digital food storage is the name of the game in this tutorial. In a recent assignment, I sought to coach my CAD students at Virginia Tech through an Onshape modeling exercise in the kitchenware category. Our aim was to build a parametric model that was robust and could be morphed into different configurations by changing a few key dimensional values. I also wanted them to learn about the…

SkillCoach | Fusion 360 Parametric Part Modeling From 2D Prints

Do your 3D models fall-over when you edit feature dimensions? How about when you use that nifty dynamic drag feature? Does everything go wonky? Well, chances are your geometry is not locked down. What I mean is your model most likely suffers from a poor dimensioning or constraint strategy at the 2D sketch level. If you answered yes to my first two questions, then I’d encourage you to take a step…
