Design and preparation of 3d modell in Rhino

Units & tolerance (Robot = 0.1mm), dimension of 3d modell, & thickness of material, check for flipped surfaces, Mesh & Polysurfaces

0:0 min

Introduction Endoframe

Close/open videochapter

Assemble:

Basic setup for Brep and Mesh-objects to PPS (Planar Polygon Surface), add shell and material

3:24 min

Disassemble to shell:

Raw part for rough shape/boundaries of object
Shell milling geometry for exact geometry and boundary surface
Enable/disable Preview

13:17 min

Add Polygon labeling to show/find error in “shell milling geometry”
Change Preview of plane size

16:42 min

Add your first Node component to solve problems at vertices

20:24 min

Explode view with amplitude slider for better view

21:44 min

Node: add GAP to node component to solve problems in geometry: GAP >= tolerance

24:39 min

Performance issue! Allways check GRAFT/FLATTEN in “Shell Milling component” and other components to check the amount of objects (can be several hundred instead of just a few!)

25:50 min

Add “Edge Labeling” component to PPS to be able to choose edges for different joints

28:08 min

Finger Joints

Close/open videochapter

Setup and solve problems

add spacing appropiate to geometry
Solve problems with geometry: change material thickness in Shell
check Node component

28:53 min

Angle theshold in joint: solve problems with nearly planar surfaces <5 degree (Set number between 5-10)

32:52 min

Check degree of manifold surfaces with “Filter edges by angle”

34:48 min

“Orthogonal finger joints” component for laser cutting and CNC milling.

37:45 min

“Sub PPS” component to show only few surfaces around selected vertices

Show difference between orthogonal and non orthogonal finger joint

38:32 min

“Merge” several nodes in one object and assign different joints to different edges/surfaces
Show/hide/explode component-results in Rhino-viewport

41:0 min

Rounded joints/edges: “Fillet shell edges” for round joints

Add custom preview

44:0 min
