Parametric plane wing using wave linking, tutorial

Designed in Siemens NX6

This is tutorial for one of many ways to use WAVE linking in NX6. Idea was to make plane wing that can be changed with simple change of values in Tools>Expressions. I tried to make this from one part, but it is too complicated to be really useful, so I made it with assembly and wave linking to keep it simple and functional.

Gummy Bear model

Designed in Siemens NX6

Gummy Bear model. Designed as GRABCAD model request, using image below (brown bear on black background image). This is a model that would be much better if done in Rhino or 3D Studio MAX, but instead it come to me. I did my best to design it and it come out good but not perfect. I give up of fine tuning as some of surfaces I made for this model took more then 2 hours to update when edited, and that is just not a time I have to spend on this model.

Football ball, parametric model (free CAD download file)

Designed in Siemens NX6

Lot of designs done in CAD softwares are parametric models. It mean that model is defined by relationships, constrains and formulas, and that by changing one part of model you will change all parts that are somehow connected to it. Some of challenging models are those who are made to depend on only one variable parameter. I like to make that kind of design because it challenging, at least for me it is.

Egyptian pyramid (free CAD download file)

Designed in Siemens NX6

This is a model of Egyptian pyramids, same proportions, but instead feet i used mm as measurement unit. I tried to make it with 200 levels of stone blocks, but it killed NX (i tried to subtract shape of all 200 levels of stone in one operation...) so I tried little modest variation with around 50 levels. hope that you will enjoy this model.

StarWars Jedi Ligtsaber (free CAD download file)

Designed in Siemens NX6

From 19th century and flintlock weapons we jump to far future and present Jedi lightsaber. Well... as this is my first Jedi weapon I hope it look like lightsaber. I think that Star Wars have lot of interesting ideas for models, but i am not sure if I like to do that kind of design. I did this saber only because i was asked to make it...
