I am hoping someone can suggest a creative way that I can configure a sticker part to be either flat or wrapped onto a cylinder. The orientation of the cylinder axis should be configurable to at least horizontal and vertical. I do not want to create a different part for each topology change. This would be easy if I could…

Here's another idea from the Onshape/PTC Academic Team! Happy Monday! Curriculum Idea: UAVs come in all shapes and sizes. Let students create conceptual designs of UAVs anticipating number of motors, purpose of the UAV, size, materials, etc. Topic area: Aerospace design Description: Challenge students to create conceptual…

Course: Introduction to Computer Aided Modeling Student Ages: Grades 9-12 Duration: 2-4 weeks Our Art Department has a class called Innovative Product Design. Over the last few years we have developed a collaboration between this class and our Computer Aided Modeling class. The Art students are asked to come up with an…

This project has students use OnShape to design model rockets. We 3D print completed rockets and launch them. I have students to their initial rocket designs using OpenRocket. This free software is easy to use and helps students make aerodynamically stable rockets. I have students work alone if we have small class sizes.…

This is the first project in which I give students the freedom to choose their own project. The goal is to have students each duplicate a Lego piece as well as they can. I have a large bin of Legos and Duplos from which they can choose the part their will copy. Along the way I show them how to use Vernier calipers so they…

This is a classic CAD and woodworking project. It is the first project I have my students do. We begin the project by having students build cube puzzles using 1g interlocking cube blocks. These can be found online from many science supply or general retailers. I have students then design each part in OnShape. I show the…

I am trying to write some FS code to flatten sloping faces as part of the cleanup of a 3D model to make it 2.5D for our router. For our purposes we just want pockets with all edges at 90 degrees so if we had a 45degree slope we would just "press it down" until it was flat. The perimeter of the pockets can be any profile…

Hi. Im actually a software design student, but the CAD student we had for our project bailed on us. So i'm needing to take up his part of the job, and this software actually looks pretty cool, But i'm a little lost on where to find references. What I'm trying to do is make either a 2d or 3d floor plan of our school campus,…
