Designing a Relief/Spiral

Hello

I would like to make this style of surface with solid works... but it's complicated!^^

Thank you

It's quite possible but there's a lot of work to be done

this is what it could look like

with of course the right angles and the right dimensions

there is still a lot of work and reflection ;-)

and a PC that runs ;-)

Moral of the story yes c possible

Hello

See here if you find what you are looking for with one of these renderings:

Hello

Oh yes GT22, you need a good PC and a brain...

Edit: you're right...

Bravo @ A.Leblanc 

As already said, giving food is good

I have the brain...! ^^ The pc, but the lack of know-how!; )

I still discovered some avenues.

what do you want to do with a 3D print

show us what you've done already

or you block ..

Oops dsl it wasn't to be perceived in that sense, I wanted to say that this piece requires a little reflection.

Show us your leads and we will guide you.

Bravo for the work a.leblanc

Out of curiosity, will you have the prossibility to share your file?
I'd like to learn a little more

Thank you

Yes thank you!; )

I don't master the basics of solid works yet, don't blame me!:)

I have two ways to build the curves :

 1) Curve  with Helix/Spiral Function :

I'm having trouble adjusting the proportions correctly. (Lack of control for the  spirals !^^).

a) I guess when add a Bossage/Sweep + a repetition of this set (Spiral and its sweep), the "triangular pattern " will come out by enchantment!^^

And creates a symmetry of this scan and then repeat it.

or

b) Same but by creating a volume, then remove the swept material with a repeated spiral.

What shape for the sweep? Square, Rectangle, Triangle?

2) Curve with 3D Spline Sketch:

I tried with a 3d spline (instead of the spiral), then created a filled surface that I repeated.

But the "triangular pattern" does not match.

I started to want to draw the triangular pattern on a fringe, using the filled surfaces as a template... My 3D stitches are too imprecise.

I tried with a thickening of corn surface, nice results! But not the same result. 

I Design for garden produtos.

The printer allows me to create for sales or prototyping. : )

the shape for sweeping an isosceles triangle

Pay attention to the triangle and trajectory coincidence

and check that the trajectory follows the outer skin of the vase ;-)

Hello

It's probably doable with a scan, but I didn't use this method, although there is a sweep but not used as you think. The sweep I did is according to the curve of the profile on a plane (no spline or helix), only then did I use the torsion function. I thought it was a nice challenge, I did the piece a bit in a hurry and some sketches don't have dimensions but the idea is there. Here is the attached document.

Thank you, for your advice and the file!

There are functions that I don't know and that I don't!; )

I'll look a little later, I have another project in progress.; )

best for you@guillaume

I think is to redo the whole piece

To understand the process, the tools used

 

there are several walkthroughs but some don't work depending on the versions of SW

or PCs............. (oar)

+1 GT22, hence the phantom (extrusion) function to bind all the bodies of the repetition and symmetry before the intersection function; ), but in the end it's not that huge, see the image below. And yes redoing the room would be more judicious, with your dimensions and understanding the tricks.

It's very instructor to reproduce a tree!:)

A few small blockages, but it's okay!

Hello, in the tree you just have to right-click on the sketch you want to make apparent and select the segments you want to use as references.

PS: in the scan function, right-click in the trajectory reference box and select "manager selection" then select a group (the 3 small arrows).

Hi @ you too Zozo

Now that the file has been given away, all you have to do is redo the part

to understand the ins and outs

and the use of tools that are not too used

@ Guillaume happy to see that you are making the effort to redo the part

To mess up allows you to understand why after analyzing the problem afterwards you know if you don't forget ;-)

@ leblanc +1
