Hi All.
Hope I have the right category here.
Here you can see the large undercuts caused by the pipes. Is there any quick and effective way of filling in the gap between the bottom of the pipe, and the main body of my model. I hope that makes sense.
Thanks in advance, Tom
I believe he's referring to the open areas under the pipes.
I'm not clear which gaps. Is it machined, or molded?
Automatically not possible, but depending on how you created the pipes (sweep ?), you may be able to modify the sketch so as to not create the 'undercut'.
Failing that you will have to extrude a solid to fill the 'undercut' and then add a pattern.
You could get some help identifying areas of concern by using some of the mold tools but I do not know of any automatic ways of eliminating them. As nice as it would be, there are probably various ways of handling the problems. In order for SW to solve it, it would hopefully give you many suggestions to choose from which could take time. Even then, your design requirements might require a different approach.
What manufacturing process are you considering for this part?
Can you zoom in and highlight the area of concern??
