As promised, we are back with part two of creating the base for our stapler. If you miss the first half of this post make sure you go back and read it since it introduces you to Dynamic Mirrors, Instant3D and a different approach to modeling. So with out further a due, one to the stapler base.

For weeks now I have been staring at the stapler on my desk thinking “This would be so much fun to model.” A stapler has everything; formed parts, machined parts, sheet metal parts, springs, rivets and injection molded parts. What better way to put to use some of the tools and concepts we have explored together? Every week we will build another component of the stapler until we have all the components that make the assembly. After the stapler is built, maybe can use it to try out some other functions of SolidWorks. Today we are going to begin with the base of the stapler since this is the foundation of the whole assembly.

The other day I was showing a user the Instant3D on-screen rulers when they asked me about its precision. I was asked what is to keep users from arbitrarily creating models without any regard to the values being selected. This is definitely a possibility and probably will happen with less experienced users but the on-screen rulers allows for precision without extra steps. The on-screen ruler is a great tool that is extremely easy to use that will decrease your design time without sacrificing precision.
