Hello, I have a small problem, I should make engravings on a sphere, the problem is that solidworks makes me impact on cylindrical surfaces and not spherical, could someone help me?
 
The presentation is welcome! ! ! ! ! !
besides the fact that you posted on a section that was not that of sws!!!!
Thank you.
 
Sorry gerod, I never posted in a forum. presentation of what, mine? I didn't read it in the other discussions, for the section I thought I was in the right one.

Yes, your presentation. when you signed up, you came by email to the forum rules where there are general rules to follow, including a short presentation that is always welcome.
I have not read it in other discussions
If you look up, in the list of solidworks forum threads, you will see that there is one dedicated to presentations

make a plan outside the sphere where you will put your engravings, extrude it and put it to the surface, after you cut into revolution the thickness you want the writings.

Yes, but it doesn't remain radial to the sphere... It's an approximation.

but at least I can not recommend other methods.
You're right, but the wrapping on swx spherical surfaces don't think the faces, at least natively, maybe you get through the crossroads but I didn't find anything online... :redface:

Hi.

Hi.
I think we can do it with some precision by creating the writing as solid away from the sphere, then with the command deforms the adage to the best on the sphere. remove the solid from the ball and dig from the edges on the spherical surface.
Maybe after the subtraction of the solid it is advisable to erase the faces that do not serve and work only on the surfaces.
as far as I am concerned too much debate and little time available to do tests...
 
It's not the best but it's approaching.

I didn't open the file but I suppose you used a cylindrical surface.
It approaches but is not what is meant by wrapped on a sphere. :smile:
try to enlarge the characters... species in height:rolleyes:
 
Excuse me if I fit in. but it seems acceptable because you kept yourself at the ball equator tries to move to the poles and you will see what disaster. possible that such software does not have a function that does this correctly. that you know which other modeling software is able to do so. Thank you.

perhaps because it is a software dedicated to modeling, physical and geometric analysis, cost analysis and blablabla rather than making figs engravings for rendering or commercial. who knows how many will need to wrap the sketch at the extremes of a sphere and this gruppetto sparuto who knows how many will have felt the impelling need to make application for implementation to the mother house.
denigrating software, which certainly has substantial sins to correct, for a lack in such a function seems frankly absurd.
 
No no no I solidworks love it. only since I have the 3d printer the needs increase. I have to remake the lever knob of my son's machine change and we have a spherical surface on which to affect the scheme of marches. Thank you. Anyway, I think that rhinoceros is more suitable for these things. You want to see I'm going to study that too. greetings

Is there a software that develops a sphere correctly? It is actually the reverse problem, try to wrap a newspaper sheet on a ball without wrinkles... .

the scheme of marches is made for projection just see some picturescambio1.webpcambio2.webpif the method of winding is used, the strokes of the marches would not be parallel, as from the above images but would mirror the longitudinal patternlongitudineglobe.webp
 
Dear friends I am sorry to contradict you but solidworks 2017 with the winding function now makes it perfectly.
