Flexible CAD designs using variables - 3D design for 3D printing pt8
To get the best out of 3D printing, it helps if you can design your own parts. In this tutorial series, we will learn to use a free 3D CAD program to do just that.
In this episode, we explore the concept of variables in CAD. By creating a named value outside of any sketches or features, we can then reference that value and use it to drive geometry. If the design needs changing, only a single variable needs editing rather than going through and editing each feature. Variables offer an efficient way to make your design flexible.
