Tapered Extrusions
In this activity we opened the file called Extrude-Taper, and extrude the square a distance of 1 inch with a taper angle of -10°.Extruded objects can be givenpositive or negative taper angle. A common example of a tapered extrusion is the design of an ice cube. The sides of the ice cube are tapered with a draft angle to allow the cube to be easily removed from the ice cube tray.
Intersect Extrusion
In this activity we opened a file called Intersect and performed an intersect extrusion on the sketch all the way through the existing object to observe what takes place. The intersect extrusion function will perform a Boolean addition and subtraction in one operation. Any part of the sketch profile that overlaps existing geometry will remain. The portion of the sketched profile and the existing geometry that do not overlap will be removed.
Mid-Plane Extrusion
For this activity we opened the mid-plane file and did a 1 inch midplane extrusion on the original sketch. The mid-plane function will join, cut, or intersect the selected sketch.
