SOLIDWORKS introduces a new custom Thread Wizard for 2016. Gone are the days of using a helix and sweep to create threads. The new Thread Wizard is designed to streamline what used to be a time-consuming process with any 3D design software. This powerful feature is a great way to add custom threading with true mathematic threads and accurately model standard and custom-defined threads with one quick and easy-to-use command.

To ensure greater accuracy for digital simulation, or to produce a 3D printed prototype, it’s often necessary to model the physical threads on shafts and holes among other elements. After watching this video, you’ll discover the benefits of this intuitive tool as TriMech Application Engineer, John Hall, demonstrates valuable tips and tricks you can implement into your project to achieve true mathematical threading.
