This first exercise provides an introduction to SolidWorks software. First, we will design and draw a simple part: an axis with different diameters. You will learn how to work with the software and learn its basic principles. You will find out how to add and remove material. How to do it: Before you start drawing in SolidWorks, you must have a work plan of how to proceed. In most instances, you will produce a part in SolidWorks in the same way as you would create it in the workshop. Therefore, for this assignment you have to go through the following steps: 1. Create an axis of Ø30 x 80. 2. Cut the material in order to create the different diameters. At the turning machine, you would have to perform several extra steps to achieve the desired accuracy. For example, you would not be able to remove all the material in a single turn. In SolidWorks, this is not the case.
