Building a Stapler - Anvil Forming Tool

Posted on August 29th, 2008 in Design Tutorial, Models, Sheet Metal, SolidWorks, Stapler by The SW Geek

Here we are at the beginning of another beautiful Friday morning and of course you know what that means…this weeks modeling tutorial.  Last month when I started the stapler project, I thought it would be fun to model up the stapler sitting on my desk. I never expected it to attract the attention it has but it now seems to be the most popular series of The SolidWorks Geek. Your comments and questions are all great and please keep them coming. Due to the number of steps required to create the models illustrated in this series, I am constantly experimenting with the way I present the information. I try to balance the amount of information with the size of the post. From time to time, I may not spend as much time on a particular step but your comments and questions fill any gaps I may have left. So thank you, my photo may be the one shown above but this blog is yours.
