Here’s an easy-to-follow method to create a hinge mount assembly using SolidWorks. If you’re looking for precise design and smooth functioning of your hinge, this guide ensures efficiency and accuracy.
Steps to Create Hinge Mount Assembly in SolidWorks
-
Part Design
- Start by designing individual parts: hinge base, hinge leaf, and pin.
- Use extrude, revolve, and fillet features to model each component.
-
Hole Wizard for Pin Alignment
- Use the Hole Wizard to create matching holes on the hinge leaves.
- Ensure proper clearance for the pin to fit and rotate smoothly.
-
Assemble the Components
- Open a new Assembly file.
- Insert the hinge leaves and pin into the assembly environment.
-
Add Mates for Motion
- Use Concentric Mate to align the pin with the holes of the hinge leaves.
- Apply Coincident Mate to align the hinge faces properly.
- Add Limit Angle Mate to restrict the hinge's rotation range (e.g., 0° to 180°).
-
Verify Motion
- Use the Move Component tool to test the hinge motion.
- Adjust mates or tolerances if needed for a smooth hinge rotation.
-
Create Exploded View (Optional)
- Use the Exploded View feature to visualize the hinge parts in separated form.
- Perfect for assembly instructions or presentations.
-
Save and Render
- Save the assembly as a SolidWorks file or export it to formats like STEP or STL.
- Use SolidWorks Visualize or PhotoView 360 for rendering if required.
