Fan modeling

3D Design Volume Model

Hello

 

I have to model a fan for an implantation, and I take the trouble to do the escagot part (for the rest I manage). So I call on the modeling experts for a little help.

Thank you

Do you use SolidWorks?

If so, in which version?

You should be able to draw inspiration from this:

same method, with round and hollow profile;)

Hello.

 

Is it a modeling for representation? Or do you have to be faithful?

 

If it's just for representation, I would advise you to do it by bossing/base/swept With your guide curve that follows the shape of the snail (on the other hand you have to put yourself in the "middle" of the Ø) an input shape with the Ø125

And then you extrude the central shape which should fill in the "holes"

 

Another solution, you do an extrusion. You have the dimensions for the outer shape, you know the thickness (125). Then you do the fillet function on the edges to get a rounded shape.

 

The last one is probably the simplest by the way. But you lose a little on the aesthetic side

What makes it nice on your link@Gt22

I would have made a round sweep then an extrusion on each side of the snail to make it flat and then shell to make it hollow

I'm on solidworks 2015 Premium

 

I don't need any clarification on this piece, it's just for reprissetation. I see it more as a concrete example to learn, because otherwise I'll make a simple torus.

I did a few tests with a spiral, but without success, I have an error when scanning.

And if you can ever make us a nice tutorial when you succeed, it could be tip top:)

that was in response to a question posted here and + by me

but impossible to find despite my research

I have the file in SW 2012 if you're interested

Screenshot of your scroll via your pdf to optimize I did it quickly

I can also give the file in SW 2012

It is easier to  do via the surface tool
