DESCRIPTION
This is a simple example how to convert a 2D design into 3D model using SolidWorks. This process is valid using software like Inventor, SolidEdge, Pro-E.

PRESENT:LEARNING TO CONVERT FROM 2D TO 3D
USING SolidWorks®
LEVEL: MEDIUM
HOUSING2D TO 3D
THIS WILL BE THE FINAL MODEL
AutoCAD 2D Drawing
We select all lines (we can apply AutoCAD filter
option) and CTRL-C
In SolidWorks, we use Ctrl-V (Paste) and create blocks
Block1-1Block3-1
Block4-1 Block2-1
(4) Four block created in SW (Front, side, section A-A and section B-B)
Insert Block3-1 on “Front Plane”
Insert Block4-1 on “Right Plane”
Sketch using “convert entities” option Extrudes the sketch as
shown
Sketch using “convert entities” option
Cut-Extrudes the sketch as shown
Use same technique:• Sketch using “convert
entities” option• Extrude or Cut-Extrude
Mirror for flange Cut-ExtrudeCut-Extrude
Internal Cut-Extrude
Working on the internal cavity
Mainly, we use hole wizard positioning the holes based on the block-sketch
Creating oil feed
Finishing the base
Adding fillets
To finish the internal cavity, use same technique:• Sketch using “convert
entities” option• Extrude or Cut-Extrude
Cut-Extrude
Creating the extension for bottom bolts (4 places)
Create the sketch in the middle plane using “convert entities” option.
Extrude as shown
For the another side we have three options:-Mirror features or-Array features or-Extrude the sketch and you will see the “sketch37” with a hand, this means, the sketch is shared.
This is a shared sketch
We use this option
Finally, we have a 3D detailed model.
3D MODEL 3D RENDERED MODEL
Conclusion.
• Convert from 2D into 3D is easy as per we saw in this presentation only if your 2D source drawing is done correctly.
• It is not necessary convert everything. You take your models that you really need to convert.
• If you need to insert a model in an assembly to check dimensions, position, interference, etc., then it is not necessary to create a detailed model.
• You can apply this procedure using others 3D softwares.
