Ways to Have Certain Areas Where There is Stress to be Reinforced
So far I have made just simple shapes and the object was simply to make the shape. The walls were pretty thin and the infill was mainly hollow.
I want to make to parts that will be bolted together on a tubular frame. It will have someting inside with some weight. I'd like to reinforce the areas where the nuts and bolts holding it together will be and wonder if there is any way in Onshape or with a slicer to make some areas have more fill, internal ribs with more fill, etc. I know I can specify thicker walls with a slicer.
Are there methods of doing this with Onshape or a slicer? I might be able to convert the drawing to a format used by a CNC and remove material from some sort of strong, solid plastic.

You do all the adjustments to infill and wall thickness in your slicer. You can use modifiers to deal with specific areas or sections. There are videos on YT for all the modern slicers that show you how to use them.
