How to use Revolved Cut Feature in Solidworks - Solidworks Beginner's Tutorial
In this Solidworks Beginner's tutorial, we will discuss how to use the Revolved Cut feature in Solidworks. The Revolved Cut feature is used to remove material from a 3D model by revolving a 2D sketch around a selected axis. It is commonly used to create holes, slots, and other features on cylindrical or symmetrical parts.
Step 1: Create a Sketch
To use the Revolved Cut feature, you must first create a sketch. Click on the Sketch tab, select the plane you want to sketch on, and then create your 2D sketch.
Step 2: Select the Revolved Cut Feature
Once you have created your sketch, click on the Features tab and select the Revolved Cut feature. This will bring up the Revolved Cut PropertyManager.
Step 3: Select the Axis
In the Revolved Cut PropertyManager, select the axis around which you want to revolve the sketch. You can choose from several axis options, such as an edge, a line, a plane, or a cylindrical face.
Step 4: Define the Revolve Angle
Next, define the revolve angle by either typing in a value or dragging the arrow. You can also choose to create a full revolve by selecting the "360 degrees" option.
Step 5: Select the Sketch
Select the sketch that you want to revolve. The sketch must be closed, meaning that all endpoints must be connected.
Step 6: Preview and Accept the Cut
Preview the cut by clicking on the Preview button. If you are satisfied with the result, click on the green checkmark to accept the cut.
