If you've ever been curious how to model NPT (national pipe taper) threads in Inventor, this Tutorial of the Week courtesy of GrabCAD Community member engineer is the tutorial you've been looking for.
GrabCAD is an online community of more than 3.5 million product designers, engineers, students, and manufacturing professionals, which means we have a wealth of information and industry knowledge at our fingertips that we’re more than happy to share with you.
The great thing about the GrabCAD Community is it’s a place where engineers can get advice from other engineers on how to solve a problem.
Last week, we spotlighted an insightful tutorial on how to model a square cut nut in SOLIDWORKS. This week's tutorial is a little more specific – but also teaches you how to model something a whole lot cooler!
Sometimes a square cut nut is just a square cut nut, but if you're in the CAD world it can be a pain because it's one more thing you need to design.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about the almost 3.7 million members of GrabCAD Community, it’s that you’re all really passionate about your CAD models.
Here at GrabCAD, we believe knowledge is power – so we’ve decided to empower you by adding some really cool new tutorials features to make GrabCAD Community even better! We’ve totally redesigned the Tutorials page to make it mobile responsive and easier to navigate. These improved features also make it easier to find, search, and create tutorials. We’ve added a new search bar to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. And to take the guess work out of what a tutorial will help you to create, we’ve added thumbnails so you can see just what the finished model will look like.
Everyone knows that rapid prototyping is one of the most popular applications for 3D printing. For product design and product development, it has become standard practice to use a 3D printer for prototyping on almost a day basis.
