Re: Feature works on imported STP files.
Bjorn Hulman May 14, 2018 5:16 AM (in response to Ananth Balasubramanian)Hi Ananth,
It would really depend on the softwarte used to create it. To create it in SW, I'd look into a Swept Cut with body. Solidworks 2018 | SOLID Swept cut with body | Helical curve |Solidworks 2018 Tutorial| CAM Solutions - YouTube

Ananth Balasubramanian May 14, 2018 5:41 AM (in response to Bjorn Hulman)Thanks for your reply Bjorn,
The part was created in CATIA V5 , Its the helix parameters and the cut profile for the helix is what I need.

Bjorn Hulman May 14, 2018 5:59 AM (in response to Ananth Balasubramanian)To ascertain the tool shape will be difficult, as any section through the part, even at the correct angle, will still be influenced by the entire tool width travelling through that particular position. Do you make these tools? Do you have access to the workshop tooling?

Ananth Balasubramanian May 22, 2018 9:24 AM (in response to Bjorn Hulman)No, Bjorn, I don't make these tools. I just wanted it for practicing advance solid designing. I downloaded the file from "GrabCad" and wanted to understand how it was designed.

Bjorn Hulman May 22, 2018 9:29 AM (in response to Ananth Balasubramanian)In that case, I hope you've found the sweep cut with body useful.

Ananth Balasubramanian May 22, 2018 10:19 AM (in response to Bjorn Hulman)Yes,the helix part I can get it from Solid sweep cut, and give it a circular rotation around the axis of the shank, but I don't know what/how the 'solid' part is designed and the front tool tip too.

Paul Salvador May 22, 2018 11:36 AM (in response to Ananth Balasubramanian)Hello Ananth,.. as is, FeatureWorks will not help (and it's not very useful anyhow, imho).. you would need to extract and rebuild manually.. (funny) I may have found the same endmill at grabcad?... so, attached is a example of going about this...
