✨ Fillets & Chamfers: Small Details, Big Difference

A sharp edge can concentrate stress and crack under load. A simple fillet redistributes that stress — that's not just aesthetics, that's engineering.

Rule of thumb: fillet inside corners for strength, chamfer outside edges for manufacturability and safety.

Swipe through: same part, before and after.

đŸŽ¯ Task of the Day: Model This Shaft Collar

Use the dimensions in the image to model a simple shaft collar: outer diameter, bore diameter, width, and one set screw hole.

Bonus challenge: add a chamfer on both outer edges.

🔄 Revolve vs Sweep vs Loft — Know the Difference

â€ĸ Revolve: spins a profile around an axis (bottles, shafts, k***s)
â€ĸ Sweep: pushes a profile along a path (pipes, wires, handles)
â€ĸ Loft: blends between multiple profiles (bottles with changing cross-sections, blades)

Picking the right feature saves you hours of rebuild errors.

Which one do you find trickiest to control?

â€ĸ Extension & dimension lines show size

✨ From Flat to Real: Sketch → Boss Extrude

This is the moment every beginner falls in love with CAD — watching a flat sketch become a real 3D part with one Boss-Extrude feature.

Key tip: your extrude direction and end condition (Blind, Through All, Up to Surface) matter just as much as the sketch itself.

Which end condition do you use most in your projects?

Recreate this 2D profile in SolidWorks using only lines, arcs, and the dimensions shown in the image. Fully define your sketch — no blue lines allowed!

Time yourself: aim for under 10 minutes.

Post a screenshot of your fully-defined sketch in the comments — we'll shout out the first 5 correct ones!
