We are currently reviewing a design that uses an ultrasonic weld and a rubber gasket to produce a water tight seal for a small ABS plastic enclosure. The enclosure is tested to a water depth of 10 feet. In order to simplify the assembly process, it has been suggested that we eliminate the...
If I understand what you are trying to do, I don't believe it is possible within SolidWorks. Each time you add a part to an assembly, you will have to manually initiate the mirror operation through one of several approaches. Otherwise, the new part would have to be incorporated into an...
The primary application is mounting brackets for various light-weight (less than 1 pound) assemblies. These would be production parts - so the quantities would be 100s initially and probably 1000s within a year. I'm inclined to continue using 316 SS because I have not had good experiences...
It has been suggested that 304 SS that has been electropolished has the chromium brought to the surface making the 304 SS part more corrosion resistant. I am wondering if this is a reasonable alternative to using 316 SS for marine applications. To be more specific, I am thinking of...
Does anyone have experience with any tools/add-ins for importing STL files into SolidWorks? I found one tool from a company called Floating Point Solutions (http://www.fpsols.com) that claims to perform this function. I am wondering if this product works well, particularly for STL files that...
