Hi
I have a bottle opener design by a company to show off the abilities of a Selective Laser Melting Machine. Please see the images in the link below.
What CAD program do you think would be best for designing such an object?
Solidworks is what i'm best at, but it looks almost impossible to achieve in solidworks due to its nice free flowing surfaces. At the same time, it still requires dimensions etc to ensure the 45 degree angles and thicknesses so an entirely modelling based program would not suffice.
I need to re-design the bottle opener, but a different lattice structure inside.
Would anyone know if it's possible in Solidworks, or what program it is possible in?

Thanks
Hi Steven,
Welcome to the forum.
If you are proficient in SolidWorks I don't see any reason why this couldn't be modelled. I've seen some really amazing stuff that people around here have created so just go for it!
It also appears that you may have created the same post twice. It would pay you well to delete the other one as it is easier to get all the help you need in one thread and it's easier for others to follow also..........
Dave.
