rounding corners – ideal for use in a dice

Do you know, that… ?

Feature rounding SolidWorks has a lot of different (sometimes unknown) options. One of them is parameters corners, where you can in addition to the edge wyoblić corners.

A perfect example of application is dice. Normally I choose to fillet all the edges, and evolves parameters corners and I am marking all vertices. I introduce one value – greater than for the edges – and I choose Set all.

Of course, in a different situation, you can enter different parameters for different vertices. Furthermore, for a given corner you can enter different values ​​in different directions. And the last thing, did this operation is not limited to the three edges converging in one corner. There may be much more.

Example of the effect of the parameters on the shape of the corner. On the left the value of 10mm, the right value 6mm, rounding of the edges is 2mm.

This operation has many uses, You can be used to finish furniture, elements of metal or plastic.
