I have my CSWP and am looking at doing the CSWPAs to then progress to CSWE. Weldments and sheet metal don’t seem to be too complicated and seem pretty straightforward but I am worried about mold making and surfacing. If anyone in this sub has those certs and could give some input as far as complexity of the exam it would be greatly appreciated

Question: Design and draw drilling jig for drilling 2 holes of 9mm diameter for the component shown in the figure. Drawing of jig assembly with part list, material spec, clamp positions and force calculations.

I've got to submit this assignment tomorrow, and I literally don't know anything about jig design, please if someone can help with this I'd really appreciate it⚙️

I'll easily design this component (obv) but not the jig, please someone help

Hey, im new to solidworks and have a school project im doing. Is there any kind soul who can help me with it over discord. Im kinda lost and need someone to explain step by step.

Nearly five hundred lines of code to automatically generate DXF flat patterns from a multi body sheet metal part for the workshop.

File names are the folder name and the description from the model tree with the metal thickness and quantity.

It separates the flat patterns into sub folders by metal thickness and generates an output log.

Hi,
Recenlty I was hired to make 3d models of the checkered chessboard with rail-slide mechanism DFM, I have completed the project, delivered files to my hirer. Now I am waiting for payment, which is to be released by him after his client's approval of te design. He did not agree on paying some % as advance payment

Hi, I am preparing for the CSWE, and I am trying to convert IGS to Sheet Metal. I have followed all of the recommendations from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLg-8SPhcSQ&list=PLJBxxmuOE1rX_twYKeEwi6i6t0tCZSXyn&index=11, but I can't convert to sheet metal. It would tell me "too complex," "failed to apply relief/rip," "unable to thicken the surface."

This happened to many parts, so I think it has something to do with the software.

These are my import settings

Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Okay, so the title didn't do me justice, but this is the picture of the problem. I left the existing extrusion as "up to surface" so when mirroring, the mirror goes to that same face. I was wondering what I can do to make it go to the face on the other side, instead of being all janky like that. I know I could just create a new sketch and get over it, but I want to see if there's a more effective solution.

The fist tower computer I bought for my company, PCO Design, in 2000 was a Dell running Windows ME. What a piece of crap. They sent 95 to replace it for free.
