Extruded Base/Boss:
SolidWorks is a popular software for creating 3D designs and models. One of its fundamental features is the Extrude Boss/Base function, which allows users to create solid objects from 2D sketches. To use this function, simply select the sketch you want to extrude and choose the Extrude Boss/Base command from the toolbar in Features section. From there, you can adjust parameters such as depth, draft angle, and direction to achieve the desired shape.
How to Use SolidWorks Extrude Boss/Base
When using the Extrude Boss/Base function in SolidWorks, you have multiple options to adjust parameters to your desired specifications. One key parameter to adjust is the depth of the extrusion, which can be done by either typing in a value or dragging the arrow in the extrusion direction. Another important parameter is the draft angle, which can be set to create a tapered extrusion. You can also adjust the direction of the extrusion to go in a specific direction, along with other options such as merge result and creating a mid-plane extrusion.
In addition to adjusting the depth and draft angle of an extrusion, SolidWorks allows you to change several other parameters of an extruded Boss/Base. One of these parameters is the extrusion end condition, which can be set to blind, up to surface, offset from surface, or mid-plane. You can also adjust the extrusion's merge result to determine whether it adds material to an existing solid body or creates a new body. Additionally, you can define the contour of the extruded Boss/Base by selecting a profile and applying a specific draft angle.
