So I am trying to design a spring mechanism like this and would like to see if I could find a supplier in order to get them cheaper than being custom made. However, I have no earthly idea what these things are called. I would've guessed 'hinged leaf spring' or 'buckle spring' but Google doesn't...
Hello all,
I am trying to model a rather complicated part exactly as it should be produced. Imagine an hour glass shaped cylinder that is machined via 4th axis with a sine wave. I can easily make this cut on a surface, but the new surfaces formed are what trouble me. I have tried surface lofts...
This is the type of check valve found in veins. I would like to know of a way to model these valves quickly. My intuition was that I could revolve sweep the profile with a constraint on the inner diameter of the tube. This doesn't appear to work (although it showed a preview of such while I was...
plane?
For instance, if you open a sketch on a flat surface with complex edges, is there a tool that will draw the outline of that surface automatically?
The problem is that I've created a full-round surface fillet and have intersected it with a plane at a different angle. I need a sketch to...
I'm designing a paintball marker. I've drawn the method of operation but now need to find approx. what size I need to machine the pieces. I have 3 controle variables, approx pressure (~200psi), paintball muzzle velocity (~300fps), and cycles per second (~17). I also need to account for the...
