This hockey stick blade model makes use of a layout sketch to drive projected curves. The projected curves are used to create boundary surfaces that form the blade. The hockey stick is made from three components: a molded carbon fiber blade, an off-the-shelf carbon fiber shaft and a rubber top cap.

The body was created by sketching a circle and using the Extrude command along with a draft. A logo was attached to the front of the body with the decal appearance tool.A plane was created to use to sketch the head and as reference for other body parts.

This multi-body part shows how to use a Layout Sketch and two Sketch Pictures to help guide and setup downstream features.This part has several patterns including multiple fill patterns used to create the bristles. There are examples of the Move Face command and also two 3D Intersection Curves. Other features included in the model include a Loft with guide curves, one Boundary, a Revolve, Swept Cuts, Extruded Surfaces, Combine and Split features.

This assembly is a model of a Silicone BBQ Basting Brush. The handle of the brush is made using Sweep and Surface Loft. Sketch relations are used to calculate the location of the seed bristle. Linear Pattern and Mirror features create the bristles on the brush. This two part assembly can be downloaded below.

This multi-body part shows how break up difficult geometry into manageable pieces. It demonstrates the use of 3D sketches to create the handle geometry. It has multiple sweeps including 3D sweeps. Other features in the part include multiple lofts (one with a guide curve), combine, split line curve, mirror, revolve and move/copy body.

High gloss parts can be challenging to model with good transitions between surfaces.This model shows good ways to blend surfaces together. It also contains a pattern along a curve for the serration edge.

The sweep shows the use of guide curves to drive the shape of the profile. The goal was to keep basically the same profile shape along the length of the blade, but drive the profile to shrink. Be sure to use pierce relationships between profile points and the path/guide curves.

This multi-body part shows how to use a Layout Sketch and two Sketch Pictures to help guide and setup downstream features. This model has several different examples of patterns including sketch driven patterns. Other features in the part include several sweeps, one helical sweep, one boundary, and one loft with guide curves.

A layout sketch controls the major dimension and shape of the tongs. This allows the designer to easily make changes to the model without any major rebuild errors. The tongs are modeled as a multi-body part to design the multiple parts that would be assembled to form the grill tongs. The flex feature is used in this model to evaluate the tongs in the closed position.

Because of the complex bends that are added to strengthen the sheet metal, the spatula is modeled as a surface body and then thickened. This is a multi-body part consisting of all the parts that will be assembled to produce the grill spatula.
