SOLIDWORKS Freeform feature

In today’s video you will get introduced to one of the most remarkable features of SOLIDWORKS, the freeform feature. Did you ever use the freeform feature yourself?

I don’t see many designers and engineers using this feature although it’s a fantastic tool to create desired shapes that would be next to impossible without it.

Models that need comfortable grips or that require very complex curvatures can easily be created with the freeform feature.

Here you can find the Freeform feature:

Navigate to Insert > Features > Freeform or click on the Freeform icon.

Under Face settings select the Face to deform. Add curves in the Control Curves box. Add points in the Control Points box.

Now you can drag the points to form the surface.

Click OK
