CAD - Hand Held Whisk Modelling

This time, I will be creating models of hand held whisks on Onshape. This project will be a good practice of using Onshape for my course works later on.

Firstly, I created a new project and imported the digital rendered hand held whisk to the front plane. I named it 'scanned sheet' to easily identify it. After that, I created 3 guide lines on the first shape.

I added 3 new planes on the bottom, middle, and top of the first shape, on the guide lines I drew before. I used the plane tool to create new planes.

Next, I sketched circles on each planes exactly the size of the design in the scanned sheet. These circles will be the base of the main body of the first design.

For each circles, the dimensions were set to a whole number.

loft feature

This is the loft feature on Onshape that creates a 3D shapes using the circles I have made.

change to normal to profile to match to my original work

Now to create the handle of the shape, I first created another loft with bigger circles.

20 mm bigger than the original circle

Add -> New. This separates the handle part and the body part.

Sketch the handle on the front plane, and using offset tool, create the copy of the sketch of the handle and connect from one end to the other. (This sketch should cover the whole loft shape)

Use extrude tool, and select REMOVE to remove the selected part.

using the method above, extrude the shape of the handle

to remove unneccesary parts, select the top sketch of the handle. Then use offset tool and adjust the weidth to 0.

I created a hole in the handle for the main body of this shape to fit in, and to do that, I lofted the shape of the main body and selected 'remove' on the handle.
