catpart with cutout

[frigo_bar]

Good evening.
They are Filippo from Padova, I often read the discussions and I find them very useful.
You're a big one. Your explanations are very useful.

I write to ask you for help on this topic (on which I found nothing in the forum)
:

I create with catia v5 a catpart that is an iron cube for example, i.e. a full solid.
on a face I have to cut out a square that those of red (with button dx, property, etc.)
I don't have to see double surface, the red square will have to be exactly on the top face (so not a dig, not even a few cents): The result will have to be exactly as an image attached.

I don't know how to do it and I ask you with great respect.
Thank you very much.

cordial greetings

If the square should not have thickness or be dug into the cube, it is basically a kind of sticker, so it serves the photo editor module.

This sticker applies within the product and can be a tiff image that you create with any program.

Let me know.

I can create the desired result in this way (without the photo editor module):

- I make a deep pocket on the cube 10
- I put a new body in the catpart
- active this last leotard and I create a prism high 10

I practically create a pocket and then fill it, keeping two separate leotards. all this to make appear on the upper face of the cube
the black rectangular frame that then fill in red color (with dx key, property, etc.).

That sounds weird. Is there not a command, a faster and simpler system to make that small black frame appear on the top of the cube, which then fills in red? I tried with surface cutout but it doesn't work because it creates a lot of surface (like a "skin" that covers the solid cube).

thanks gianni55, waiting for your good new

Hi.

certain that is a way, that I did not suggest you as in the first question you specified that there should be no digging.

I think you have to better explain what you want to do and what is use.

catia is a solid modeler and talk about "small black frame that then fill in red" is not exactly accurate, as "the black frame" is nothing but the graphic representation of the edge that can be varied as thickness and dotted or at points, according to the display mode.

create frames and color parts, belongs more to the world of rendering or paint.

Let me know.

Hi.

 

[frigo_bar]

you are 100% right

practical use is this: sheet thickness 20/10 satin on one side
I have to make a silkscreen with the laser: a colored square.

would it be correct for you to take a dig to represent it? But it would be a "grade"... even if minimal.
Does the laser remove material or transform it onpecially? I don't know if I'm wrong saying he doesn't take it.
the silkscreen to the touch appears perfectly smooth.

How would you ultimately represent this condition of serigraphy in the catpart?

thank you 1000 for the answers. I appreciate your help and thank you.

Hi.

I don't know serigraph lasers, and I think it's a very vast field, where different techniques apply on anodized, painted, powder coated or naked metal...

in some cases digs the subject, in others removes the contour of letters or written leaving them in relief etc.

the best thing is to contact the supplier/client and ask how it works.

if you cannot, then you have to give as many indications as possible in the project.

the method of the pocket and another body that goes to fill the seat can go well and (if needed) create another body for the frame, of appropriate thickness.

the depth should be minimalist, so as not to bind the user to your depth but to the necessary technique.

Sometimes you can also leave the wireframe to use as a tool control curve (in this case the laser), or add notes in the drawing.

if it is only a square on a flat sheet is soon done, if they are many squares on sculpted surface, you have to arrange well the features.

Let me know.

I turned out to be great with the body method. Thank you. And I'm happy.

in conclusion: practical a pocket of a tenth, then fill it with a leotard 1 tenth high.
It was about making a square and some other writings.
I sent the design to the laser, and everything was successful.

I read that there is a tool called type3 caa v5 developed specifically for caia to realize serigraphies.
cmq with the simplified system of which we spoke here the result is excellent the same.

Thanks to all, I close the discussion and say that this cad3d site works great.
Good work for everyone.
