How Does Interactive Vector Visualization in Composer Unlock Deeper Data Understanding?

Image
 Interactive Vector Visualization in Composer: Unlocking Deeper Data Understanding SOLIDWORKS Composer ’s output flexibility ensures that complex engineering data can be translated into accessible and engaging content—ready for use across departments, from manufacturing to marketing. In this blog, we describe how to link and navigate Vector Visualization in Composer within a single output. Step 1: Capture the Base View First, capture the base or initial view of the actor from the viewport. This serves as a fundamental step before beginning the creation of any technical views. VIEW CAPT U RE Step 2: Export as Scalable Vector Image SOLIDWORKS Composer allows you to efficiently export all captured views as vector-based images (such as SVG files), ideal for high-quality technical documentation, web content, or scalable graphics that retain clarity at any zoom level. → Workshops > Technical Illustration > Save As > .SVG EXPORT OPTION Step 3: Insert View into Viewport Act...

How Can You Enhance Your Design Process Using 3DEXPERIENCE Product Explorer & 3DNavigate?

Image
 Enhance Your Design Process with 3DEXPERIENCE Product Explorer & 3DNavigate In the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform , we can explore the seamless design experience through enhanced collaboration and data maintenance, leading to a streamlined product development process. Users who’ve migrated from SOLIDWORKS Desktop to cloud may face challenges in finding references or exporting their files directly from the cloud. In that context, 3DEXPERIENCE Product Explorer has a major impact in handling product structures. Let’s take a look at 3DEXPERIENCE Product Explorer and its impact on your design process. Getting Started Login to your 3DEXPERIENCE Platform , click the Compass icon to access the Collaborative Industry Innovator role and select the app Product Explorer . It opens along with 3DNavigate , which helps to visualize the 3D model.   Opening Content Click Open Content to open your assembly from the 3DSpace. Here, we take a Grill Assembly as an example and the product’s assem...

How Do You Create a Core & Cavity Using 3D Model for Injection Molding?

Image
Creating a Core & Cavity using 3D Model Injection molding is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing. At the heart of this process lies the mold die, which shapes molten plastic into precise, repeatable parts using Core and Cavity using 3D Model techniques. Die: A mold die consists of two or more parts that come together to form a cavity (a hollow space) into which material is injected or pressed. Once the material cools or hardens, the mold is opened, and the finished part is ejected. Components: Core and Cavity : The two main parts that shape the product. Sprue, Runners, Gates : Channels that guide material into the cavity. Ejector Pins : Push the finished part out of the mold. Cooling Channels : Circulate water or coolant to solidify the material quickly. Core: The male half that forms internal surfaces. A mold design component that forms the opposite side of a molded part, creating the inner shape or cavity using 3D model . Cavity: The female half that forms the external su...
