Knife models in SolidWorks

[alexmin]

Guys,

does anyone knows where I can get some knife models in SolidWorks or even better a tutorial on how to make a knife model in SolidWorks.

Thanks,
Alex

In a way that I have Solidworks and not AutoCad

Are you looking for an example model to dissect and learn from, something like this:



I have been using SolidWorks since '99 designing injection molds and have created many knife models over the years for my own purposes. It's not that hard once you've done a few. If you're interested, let me know a few more specifics about what you need and maybe I can help you out.

IMHO having used both quite a bit, solidworks rocks :thumbup: although autocad will definitely get the job done

Exactly! I really appreciate if you can provide a sample for dissecting

I had done a bunch of work with designing knives in SW, but I ended up realizing that all my designs started to look the same, and I didn't have the flexibility to muck around with the exact curves as much as I would have if I had been drawing it freehand.

If you have any questions, I'll do my best to help!

Which version of SW do you have?

 

[alexmin]

I have SW 2005

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. My models are all in 2006 or 2007. Give me a little bit and I'll re-do one in 2005 and send it to you.

 

[Lucky Bob]

I think I have 2007, also.
