Solidworks impossible shapes1/20/2024 Split the copy into many pieces so you can work on one small area at a time. Use the move/copy body tool to make a copy of the body. There will be small faces that SW doesn't know to delete, and small radii that need to disappear, that sort of thing. It is very unlikely that you'll get it to shell in one feature. Whoever did your scanning had an expensive piece of software make the solids from the scan data. x_b files, you have a proper BREP solid model. The MAJORITY of "us" can't do that reliably enough to be SAFE. Perhaps I was too inclusive in my modesty ? ![]() Heck, NASA 3D printed a rocket nozzle! What makes you think we can't print a fuel cell? This is the company doing it: [ Matter of fact, I need to give them a call again and see if their pricing structure has changed at all. Just a little FYI, do a google search on 3D printed fuel cells and prepare to get blown away. You better go tell the military, because they use them in their drones. My own prints are fair to reasonable, but the thought of a delaminated wall in any part of a fuel cell scares the heck out of me.įor this application you NEED PERFECTION and I think we're "not there yet"ĭo KNOW that a spoonful or so of almost any "flammable" liquid can produce devastating results.Įdited 1 time(s). Personally I find it quite disturbing that (given the current maturity of the state of this art) you are using a 3D printer to make a fuel cell. Well, chances are he just knew the object - or was lucky and chose the right face to shell it from - or KNOWS solidworks - some combination. Shelling was possible in Cura, but useless to me to make a full scale model with reinforcements in the proper spots and threaded holes to hold the shrouds and petcock. It's still $1400 from shapeways, need to get over that hurdle.īTW, I've printed these scaled down on my printer. The cool thing is I am that much closer to having the worlds first ATV (ATC) with a 3D printed repo gas tank. ![]() So hopefully now I can make a complete ready to use model. He also combined the location of the holes in the tank that I needed. I don't think he had to remove the tabs to shell it. Only thing is I do not know how he did it, so if I should need to change the thickness of the shell, I would be lost. The person who did the original scan came through and shelled it for me no charge.
