hello friends welcome to freecad tutorial and in this tutorial we will
0:05
learn the pocket feature in freecad pocket feature is nothing but extrude cut
0:11
features it is a material removing tool if you have used the softwares like a
0:17
SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor then this same tools having the difference name in a different software so we will understand this pocket feature with the
0:29
help of a simple example you can also visit my website macnexus.com where I
0:36
write articles and tutorials on free cat you can download my tutorial source
0:43
file from the here if you like my method of teaching then please support me on
0:49
coffee.com you can buy me a cup of coffee your small support will help this
0:56
channels to grow and it will motivate me to create more awesome content on free
1:02
CAD I will provide my website and my Ko-Fi donation page link in a video
1:08
descriptions so let's come back to our tutorial so first I will create a body
1:15
and on my origin plane and I select this top plane and create a sketch and I
1:26
of my origin plane so here simply I will create a rectangle and I will make it
1:34
symmetric so I will select the symmetricity symbol select these two points and origin points and now I will give the dimension let's I give it 30
1:47
and verticals I give the 20 to use the pocket tool first we have to create a
2:00
solid so I will extrude extrude it to the 10 mm or we can say 5 mm and say ok so here we have solid and now we will create a cut so I move to the top view select this
2:22
top face and create a sketch and now again I create a rectangle here
2:31
and I made it symmetric from this point this point and the center points and now I give
2:40
some random dimensions let's say 10 mm and this vertical 5 mm and now I will
2:54
switch to the isometric and let's make it to the 15 and make it 10 now I will
3:06
come to the our pocket tool so first we will see our body so you can see that
3:14
first we have created this solids and then on the top we have created a
3:20
rectangular sketch now we will click on the pocket tool and we will see the
3:27
options available so here first one is a dimensions option so here is a length is
3:34
a 5 mm so our thickness is 5 mm if we wanted to change the thickness then we
3:45
can change it so we can set as per our requirement so that is a dimension
3:51
option second one is a through wall if I say to the through all then it will
3:56
remove the material completely to the first to the first means you can select
4:06
any faces so to understand this to the first options let's I create a cut on
4:16
this face so I select this face and create a rectangle and I select this face select this sketch and create a cut approximate cut Now I will select my first top sketch and click on the cut
4:40
So to understand up to face I will select up to face and I will select the face where it should go
4:52
So if i select this face then cut will go to the level of this bottom face and say ok
5:02
So this is how upto faces work. Now i delete the features
5:07
I also delete this sketch. Now i will again select the sketch and go with the cut
5:15
So here we have said the through all upto first and two dimensions
5:21
two dimensions to understand the two dimensions what we will do we will delete this sketch
5:30
we will go to the pad and edit the pad and we will keep it symmetric to the plane
5:36
and say okay now we will on our origin plane select this top plane and create a sketch and
5:45
here I randomly create a rectangle and from here I will switch to the wireframe so you
5:56
can see that a rectangle has been created. Now I will off my origin plane and from here I will switch to the flatlines
6:06
Now you can see that our sketch is at the inside. we will select the sketch and go with the cut and from here if I say the two
6:19
dimensions so I can give the dimensions in two directions so for example top I
6:27
give 2 mm and bottom I give 2 mm and I say ok now if I go to the transparency
6:38
of the model set the transparent so you can see that this cut is from the mid plane 2 mm top and 2 mm bottom so that is how we can use this features of a two dimensions
7:00
If I select on the sketch go with a pocket and if I click on the two dimensions, so
7:11
If I give the bottom 2mm mm but this one I give also 2 mm and now this I make a 10 mm so you can see
7:24
that at the bottom side it is cutting 2 mm and the top side it is cutting the 10 mm
7:30
this is how you can use the two dimensions method now we again select it
7:36
our sketch so we have seen all the option available here and next one is a
7:42
symmetric to the plane so it will curve cut in a symmetric directions symmetric
7:51
to the plane means if I select on symmetric to the plane then it will cut
7:56
5 mm top and 5 mm bottom now if we go to our sketch and click on the cut and we
8:08
say reverse directions because our sketch in a mid plane now here we have
8:17
the taper angle options we can provide the taper as you increase the angle you
8:23
can see that it has been increasing so that is how you can provide the tapers
8:33
you can also provide the taper in a negative directions so this is a very useful tool now I set it to the 0
8:47
and say ok so this is how we can use the pocket tool in a different method in a free CAD
8:55
so this is all about this tutorial how to use the Pocket tool in a part design workbench of a free cat. Thank you for watching and thank you for your valuable time
