Hello everyone,

In this video, (the first of a two part part series) I run through how I approach creating a 3d CAD model of a piece of rolling stock for 3D printing.

I begin with a sketch, and recreate the 2d geometry which I will later use as profiles from which I generate 3D parts.

I am asked frequently how to go about this process, and there are many alternative approaches. Hopefully, showing how I approach the task will give some context and guidance to those who are struggling to get their heads around the task and don't know where to start.

As always, if you've any questions leave them in the comments and I'll do my best to answer then as best I can.

Thanks for watching,

James
