SolidWorks 2016 – Replacing Sub-assemblies with Multi-body Parts

By |2016-12-15T14:30:56-05:00August 26th, 2016|Categories: SOLIDWORKS, Tech Tips|

Today we will explain how to replace subassemblies with multibody parts, a new function in SolidWorks 2016. Unlike previous versions of SolidWorks, in 2016 you can use a multibody part as a simplified representation of the assembly. When you make changes to the subassembly and save an updated multibody part, this version can replace the older copy without having to recreate the mates. Consider the assembly shown above. It contains two individual parts and two [...]

3D printing is making a profound difference at the University of Malaya’s Centre for Biomedical and Technology Integration (CBMTI). CBMTI uses Stratasys’ PolyJet 3D Printing technology to deliver a range of services including custom medical implants, prototypes for new devices and patient-specific models for surgical planning. But perhaps the greatest impact is in creating sophisticated training simulators for clinical procedures. Ear, nose and throat simulation model in three parts. At CBMTI’s inception, neurosurgeons [...]
