SolidWorks | How to Create a Pocket Not Normal to The Sketch Plane (2025)
The Savvy Engineer
in
Modeling

Beginner
Learning how to create a pocket not normal to the sketch plane in SolidWorks is an important skill for any designer or engineer because real-world parts are rarely restricted to simple, perpendicular features. In many industries such as aerospace, automotive, and consumer product design, you often encounter pockets, slots, or recesses that follow angled or non-orthogonal surfaces. Mastering this function allows you to model more complex geometries and ensures your designs accurately reflect functional requirements.

SolidWorks | How to Write your Name on a Piece Like a Pro
The Savvy Engineer
in
Modeling
2

Beginner
Learning how to write your name on a piece in SolidWorks is a valuable skill that enhances both your design abilities and your understanding of 3D modeling fundamentals. Adding text to a part may seem simple, but it introduces you to several important features of SolidWorks, such as sketches, extruded cuts, and embossing. By learning this technique, you gain the ability to personalize your designs, label your components, and create professional-looking models that are uniquely identifiable. When you engrave or emboss your name on a 3D piece, you practice how to position sketches accurately on different faces of a model, use text tools effectively, and apply depth through extrusion or cutting operations. This helps you build precision and confidence in handling sketch constraints and feature definitions. Moreover, it teaches you how to control the visual appearance of partsโskills that are crucial when working on prototypes, mechanical components, or presentation models. From a professional perspective, marking your name or part number on a piece is an essential practice in engineering and manufacturing. It ensures traceability, ownership, and identification in collaborative projects or production environments. Many engineers use engraving to include serial numbers, company logos, or assembly instructions directly onto the part. Additionally, this simple exercise enhances your creativity and gives you a sense of accomplishment as you see your own name integrated into a 3D model. Itโs also a practical way to prepare for more advanced text applications, such as creating custom molds, product branding, or laser-engraved parts. In short, learning how to write your name on a piece in SolidWorks is not just about personalizationโitโs about mastering a versatile design technique that blends creativity, accuracy, and professionalism in your modeling workflow.

CATIA | How to Convert a STEP File into CATPart Like a Pro
The Savvy Engineer

Modeling

Beginner
Learning how to convert a STEP file into a CATPart in CATIA is an essential skill for engineers, designers, and students who work with 3D models in collaborative environments. STEP files (.stp or .step) are widely used as a neutral format to exchange CAD data between different software platforms. Since not every team or partner uses CATIA, being able to import and convert STEP files into CATPart format allows you to fully integrate external designs into your CATIA projects. One key reason to learn this process is compatibility and collaboration. In real-world engineering, parts and assemblies often come from multiple suppliers or design teams. If you receive a model in STEP format, converting it into CATPart makes it editable and usable within CATIA. This ensures seamless collaboration without the need to remodel the geometry from scratch, saving time and reducing errors. Another important benefit is design modification and reuse. Once the STEP file is converted into a CATPart, you can take advantage of CATIAโs powerful tools for editing, analysis, and simulation. This means you can refine designs, make necessary changes, or use the geometry as a base for new components. Without conversion, the file would remain static, limiting your ability to adapt it to evolving project requirements. Additionally, understanding this process improves workflow efficiency. Instead of struggling with file incompatibility, you can quickly integrate external models into your design environment. This is particularly valuable in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, where different CAD systems are common. In conclusion, learning how to convert a STEP file into a CATPart in CATIA is not just a technical stepโit is a vital skill for collaboration, design flexibility, and productivity. It enables engineers to bridge the gap between different CAD systems and work more efficiently in a global engineering environment.
