Using Solidworks for over four years, I only ever used the sketch and features tabs. I simply never found an object I could not create with those mechanics and felt that I knew the potential that Solidworks had for creating 3D models. I now see that I have been wrong. This video has opened my eyes to the possibilities I had been ignoring all this time. Good stuff.
Same dude we didn't even learn about surfaces at all lol My assignment was to model a few everyday items and we only learned how to Boss Extrude/Cut, Boss Rotate Functions, and Sweep Functions plus basics in assemblies so I thought a spoon would be easy haha Ended up asking an engineering buddy of mine how he would start, he said with the surfaces feature tab and a sketch which puzzled me so I looked it up and found this very helpful video
@@brandonlambert1586 To be fair, surfacing is an advanced method for 3D modeling. Normally it is offered as a separate training at software resellers after you take the basic skills class. When dealing with product design that have what is know as compound curves and B-splines this is when surfacing really shines for the design of the part. In plastic part design ( I design plastic injected products) surfacing is used regularly and sometimes in conjunction with normal extrudes in some cases. The reason is that wall thickness for plastic parts need uniformity for good injection flow. After a part is designed in surfaces, trimmed, and then knitted, you complete the part by specifying a thickness for the walls. Solidworks will create smooth equal walls throughout the part as long as the radius is not too small. Have a great day! Solidworks since 1997!
A very easy to understand video about a seemingly difficult part! I was actually afraid of surface modelling but after grasping the concepts discussed in this video, I am feeling confident. Thank you. Keep up the good work!
I’m getting into surface modeling. I feel I’ve mastered all the features and sketching tools in Solidworks but Surface Modeling is just a whole different world in solid works, I feel like a beginner again but it’s fun
12:46 You could not pierce because your plane 1 was not intersecting the segment you chose to pierce to (Your plane 1 was not defined by intersecting the point but by an offset distance to the first plane)
Hahaha! Before computers and 3D modeling it was even harder to make a spoon! Because you'd have to make so many real prototypes BEFORE the design was approved! Today, you can make several designs and submit for review BEFORE you make a 3D print of the product or part. 3D modeling software has saved everyone thousands of dollars and countless amounts of man hours . I guess you can say I'm a fan after using SolidWorks since 1997! Have a great day!
Thank you for this tutorial! It's been three years since you made it, and I only just discovered it. Perhaps surface modeling in SWX is possible to learn after all!
I need a lot more work. I was able to make the spoon, but I'm not sure I could do it on my own. I need more practice with surfaces. This was a little hard to remember all of this. Thank you
Sir, really informative, but without using select manager also the required boundary surface can be created and also because of that you need not have to extend the boundary surface for the end part of that spoon that you did, I tried and I got the required spoon shape.
Very nice, clear tutorial, thanks! Just so you know, a couple of times when you said "horizontal distance", you really meant to say "Vertical distance" -no biggie.
Very nice work, please professor I have been trying to model that spoon I am on the last stage about to perform the surface trimming, but it did not work it keeps telling me cannot partition surface, the trim tool and target do not intersect. if the trim tool is a 3D sketch make sure the 3D sketch segments are coincident to the surface you are trimming. I dont know what to do again.
Hi! Fine tutorial. I have tried going through it twice, but when I try knitting the surfaces, only the two middle ones are knit together, the outer two don't. I have followed the tutorial in every detail, so it seems quite strange. Is there any secret trick to make it work, or is it just a coincidence that I face this twice at the very same point in the tutorial?
Great video yaar!! By next video please show keyboard also, where we can know what are key u r using!!! Also highlight text video like (shift+circle) etc so it will be more easier for beginers like me
You used a tangent guide to align the surfaces to each other, but there is no surface tangency condition. Is there none in sw or did you just not apply one? How can I check for surface tangency in my design? Switching over from catia.. Thank you very much!
Hi. Thanks for your teaching, but in the last it doesn't let me to trim surface. It say this error: Can not trim due to error on target body. Why this happened.
My trim surface function seems not working. It said “cannot partition surface, the trim and target do not intersect. If the trim tool is a 3D sketch, make sure the 3D sketch segments are coincident to the surface you are trimming”
When you're making a point tangent, what are you making it tangent to? The point is already shared between two curves Im having trouble understanding it
That was new to me too. I usually choose the 2 lines that need to be tangent. But thinking about it, maybe it chooses the lines that are connected to that point. Idk

SW is super powerful. Crazy the things you can do with it.

Same using for2 years and never touched the surface tools.
Excellent instruction. Even on faster playback you were easy to understand. A spoon is a great thing to model. I learned much. Thank you.
I have a exam today. I learned more with your videos in one night, than with my teacher in the whole semester! Thank you!

Ya my friend took a class and he knew more than the teacher. Teacher loved him because he helped the rest of the class.
yeah - such is the way with youtube channels like this. I did a SW course and dumped their tutorials for ones like this and passed.

*smooth equal wall thickness
Your videos are always fast paced without missing any details.
straight to the point, no unnecessary explanations. good job!
Exactly 😅

I have a CSWP and I'm still a little intimidated by surfaces.
@@brandonthesteele how hard is the CSWA exam? I’m taking it at the end of this semester sometime around may. Do you have any tips for me?
I'm learning a lot from your videos, thanks.
IVE LEARNED MORE ON THIS CHANNEL ABOUT SOLIDWORKS THAN AT 4 YEARS UNIVERSITY FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. TY. I LOVE YOU.

Very efficient methods and the example is complex. Helped my Berkeley E26 lab assignment greatly. Thank you.
weird flex but okay
@@rajtagore6047 Berkeley's not even a flex bruh
@@ddh8624 what is why it is a WeIRd flex

Your videos have no parallel that I have found. Excellent stuff! Thank you!
It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.
I haven't touched Solidworks in over a year. This was a great refresher. Thank you for creating this video.
So easy but so hard if without thes video
Thanks!
That is what I think also.
Very good basics for surfacing as a beginner I found it very useful to grasp how to build profiles
I never thought making spoon is this difficult.
this is actually a spoon-feeding tutorial.. hahahaha
It's actually much worse in real life! LOL Check out Liberty Tabletop where I am the designer/toolmaker.
@@crunchymetal omg! But you'd use the same shape for the basic spoon, fork, knife and change the handles? Calavera!

Surfaces are very very difficult to make

thank you so much for this great tutorial. I learned many things from your video and I'm keep watching and learning more from you. Thank you again.
Great tutorial on surfaces. Very helpful for a novice and for the experienced
Thankyou for explaining why you need to do certain things instead of just doing it. You're awesome. Thankyou very much
Wow! The surface tools are powerful. Thank you.
Thank you ❤ its very easy to understand your videos every time when i watch i learn something new
You are a legend. This and the other spoon tutorials totally saved my ass.
It was very helfpful to understand some of the logics behind the design. Chapeau Mr
I have been trying to change from Fusion to Solidworks and your video made things so much easier. Thanks :)
Thank you very much! Its really hard to actually draw a spoon if you dont know how. Even though its a daily use item.
Greetings,
Jeff
I need a lot more work. I was able to make the spoon, but I'm not sure I could do it on my own. I need more practice with surfaces. This was a little hard to remember all of this. Thank you
Absolutely no one:
UA-cam recommendations: How to make a spoon in SolidWorks
Thank you so much for teaching... Whenever I got problems in solidworks..I come here!
Thank you! I found a surface that was confusing.
YOU ARE THE BEST .. A BIG HELLO FOR INDIANS PEOPLE FROM EGYPT
Very interesting, you explain in detail, perfect, I really enjoy listening to your presentations
Sir, really informative, but without using select manager also the required boundary surface can be created and also because of that you need not have to extend the boundary surface for the end part of that spoon that you did, I tried and I got the required spoon shape.
I like your videos, because you sometimes make a mistake and when you correct it, it points out what mistake can be made.
i got confuse cause it gone wrong sometime but i learn a lot, thanks sir
I am very delighted to see your videos and you deserve some price
bro What do you do exactly in real life.. are you part designer?
Thanks, you helped me understand several gaps that I had.
Thank you for this excellent surfacing basics video
great video, helped me a lot to develop a part like this spoon
ممنون از این کلیپ آموزشی که گذاشتید
Thanks so much for making this!! :D It made my homework make way more sense!
Excelente vídeo, siempre me había complicado con las superficies, éste vídeo ayuda mucho, gracias por tu tiempo.
Great sir , I like your way of Explanation 👍👍👍👍👍.
Very nice, clear tutorial, thanks! Just so you know, a couple of times when you said "horizontal distance", you really meant to say "Vertical distance" -no biggie.
Thank you very much i learnt so many important things from your video.

Same problem
Go through your sketch it'd be open somewhere
Sir in the start and end session you are using boundary surface. . Why we are not go with loft....
Very good video. I learned a few more things about using surface tools.
It’s always a pleasure to follow your SW courses…. 🤓
I will try it with Pro E. Looks quite similar
Thanks! wonderful SOLIDWORKS instructing videos! 😎
nice, simple explanation nothing to be missed,.
Wow! Thank you for sharing! I liked your video and your lecture too. Successfully made. I learnt new arc technique too!

To all the engineering students. Keep practicing this. School will only have you take 1 or 2 classes on cad but it's super important
Your video such a good thanks sir lot of things I learn

Thank you for sharing! 👍👍👍
Thank you for tutorial. Can you explaine how to creat press form for this dimension of spoon and account the flat blank for spoon?
Excellent Tutorial, thankyou very much
This was so genius 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 great work sir
Cute! Even it look like inventor both programs follow suit!
You make good job sir👍
Çok faydali deilmi hocam
This is very helpful. Thank you!

Great, except for when you keep saying verticle and keep using horizontal
I was gonna say, excellent video other wise.
Hi. Thanks for your teaching, but in the last it doesn't let me to trim surface.
It say this error:
Can not trim due to error on target body.
Why this happened.
Did you try selecting sketch 2 from the tree manager?
There may be occurred undefined in your sketch. The spoon of sketch must be a continuous curve. i.e. fully defined.
Excellent Tutorial - Thanks
Respect for you , u are a really amazing teacher , thanks a lot for share your knowledge bro !!
Thank you so much sir!
thank you for sharing this video with us
I dont even have a CAD Programm installed in my computer and still watching this tutorial. 😂
Why are you taking the 3 curves bigger then the actual drawing of spoon???
But I appreciated for the video, it teaches a lot.
Дякую! Ви великий Шаман!
Your videos are very trainer. Thank you.
nice tutorial, very intresting and very usefull. there are so many chance to have a great job if we can master solidworks
Thank you 🎉
Can we find the developed length of spoon by converting into sheet metal? If possible please guide me ...
Thank you
Thank you so much
Thanks for your learning
This metod is good using curve rather than spline ,project curve for surfaces.
thanks any way.
Nice,An elegant solution.
nice i have forget it onc 5 year out from university just 1 clibe 21 minuite the knoledge come back,
Thanks bro
i can't fillet the edge of the spoon. Please let me know what the problem? Thanks you a lot! :D
Thank you it is a very good and clear videos
Very good tutorial, thank you
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. It helps alot.
Amazing video! Thank you!
My trim surface function seems not working. It said “cannot partition surface, the trim and target do not intersect. If the trim tool is a 3D sketch, make sure the 3D sketch segments are coincident to the surface you are trimming”
i am getting the same problem.
plz reply if you get any answers
Well Done! Very Informative. Thank You.

@Emmitt Reece did it work?
nice tutorial sirji
Thanks to teach , I learned a lot
I'm getting error on making boundary surfaces. Apparently SW thinks my arcs aren't connect or something. I tried everything. Any help?
were you able to solve that problem? i'm in the same situation. Minute 15:28
Very nice...great video and you make it easy to follow
