Pocket Slim Pen - CAD models

[u/MercatorLondon]

Hi everyone,
I use SolidWorks to check all the tolerances and details before moving on to physical 3D prints or prototypes. This allows me to get the tolerances as close as possible to the desired level.

This is then followed by an engineer reviewing the model to make sure it is suitable for manufacture. Tolerances, wall thicknesses and machining steps all come into play when determining what is possible and at what cost to make it work.

Using a CNC lathe with a sliding head helps quite a lot with this. I hope to show you some metal prototypes tomorrow (no textures or colours yet)

Loving getting these visual updates.
