Hello friends Welcome To freeat tutorial
0:02
and in this tutorial we will model this
0:06
uh smartphone cover in freead as you can
0:09
see that uh I have already modeled it
0:11
and I will show you from the scratch how
0:14
you can do the same in
0:16
freead you can also visit my website
0:19

0:56
description so let's start our tutorial
0:59
so I will close my file and I create a
1:03
new
1:04
file and I will switch to the part
1:07
design
1:09
workbench and here I will uh insert my
1:15
body and now I will uh on my
1:20
plane now I will select this uh XY plane
1:24
and uh create my
1:28
sketch
1:30
and I will go to the model
1:34
tab so before starting the tutorial I
1:37
can uh show you the version of freead
1:41
this is the freead 0.21 which is the
1:44
latest version of a freead and now let's
1:47
start our uh
1:49
modeling now I will uh click on
1:52
rectangle and I will uh draw a
1:56
rectangle and now I will uh add add four
2:00
fillet to the four corner for this I
2:03
will select the
2:05
fillet and add the
2:17
fillet now I will uh select all this
2:25
fillet and uh make it
2:28
equal now
2:32
I will give
2:36
Dimensions this fet is a
2:46
12.1 I will move the
2:48
dimension and now we will give the
2:53
dimensions
2:55
so the total length is this point to
2:59
this point is
3:02
uh
3:11
12483 I will move it
3:14
outside now this point to this
3:17
point 59.5
3:25
7 now I will move my sketch I move my
3:29
this
3:36
Dimension and uh now our sketch is UN
3:40
constrain so we will constrain it I will
3:42
select this point and this point give
3:46
horizontal
3:49
relation and this point to this
3:54
uh fillet point this radius I will give
3:57
the vertical constraint so now you can
4:01
see that my sketch is fully
4:06
constrained now I will go to the task
4:09
Tab and close my
4:17
sketch now I
4:19
will select my sketch and click on the
4:23
pad and the pad distance I will give 7.6
4:28
mm and I will save okay so this is the
4:31
first solid uh which we have made and
4:34
now we will uh select the top for and
4:40
uh we will use the shell
4:45
command so here is a thickness
4:51
tool and
4:54
now we will give the
4:58
values so here in a thickness I will
5:01
give 1.2
5:08
mm and I will
5:11
say
5:13
okay now we will uh move to the next
5:17
step in the next step we will uh select
5:21
this
5:22
pH and create a
5:28
sketch now
5:31
I will uh project the
5:34
geometry so here is a create external
5:38
geometry and
5:40
uh project this Arc Line This Arc this
5:46
line we will project outer
5:51
boundary and now we will go to the model
5:54
tab select the thickness and press the
5:57
space bar
6:00
first close it and press the space
6:14
bar
6:18
now we will move to the next step we
6:21
will uh create a
6:25
rectangle and then we add a
6:28
fillet so I will draw a rough rectangle
6:33
and then click on the fillet icon and
6:37
add the four fillet to the four
6:46
corners and
6:49
now we will make all this uh fill it
6:58
equal
7:02
now if we see our rectangle so we are
7:08
going
7:10
to this two Center we are going to
7:16
March
7:19
similarly this one as well click on
7:23
merge so here you will get the
7:28
conflict
7:30
so click here and delete this uh
7:35
constraint
7:37
similarly select this point and this
7:39
point click
7:42
merge and delete the over defining
7:50
constraint so you can see that
7:55
uh all Center has been merged
8:01
now in a next
8:04
step we are going to the distance of a
8:09
2.2 so I will uh select this point and
8:14
this point and give horizontal dimension
8:17
of
8:22
2.2 so you can see that our sketch is
8:25
fully
8:26
constrained now we will come out of the
8:28
sketch
8:37
so
8:39
here if we off that our solid
8:44
body and
8:47
now this is the projected geometry so if
8:51
we come out of the
8:53
sketch so we are seeing only one profile
8:57
now what we have to do is uh on this
9:01
projected geometry we will draw our
9:06
geometry so for this I will uh select a
9:10
threo
9:17
Arc and I will start from
9:21
here and uh what I will do I will simply
9:25
make this and this
9:27
equal similarly this
9:33
Arc this to this and uh I will select
9:37
this two and made it
9:41
equal similarly
9:50
here I will make this and this
9:58
equal here as
10:00
well make this and this
10:04
equal now we will draw the four line to
10:07
connect this
10:09
profile I will select the
10:20
line and I
10:23
will delete
10:25
it now I will first make it vertical
10:30
constraint I will select the line and I
10:34
will join
10:35
it this
10:39
34 I will delete
10:47
it now I will take the bottom
10:51
one I off the my start
10:58
page
11:03
this tangent I will delete and or what I
11:06
will do I will uh delete this Arc delete
11:10
this
11:14
line and I will merge
11:17
it and then I will uh draw this
11:27
line
11:31
delete and let's
11:34
see
11:40
here merge it and then select this and
11:45
this say
11:48
merge
11:52
okay now this and this
11:56
merch and then threo AR
12:02
work so this is how we have uh made our
12:08
sketch now I will close it so you can
12:11
see here the two profile and now we will
12:15
on our
12:17
body and uh we
12:22
will remove the
12:26
material sorry uh here we will add the
12:29
material for up to the 1
12:32
mm I will select the pad option and I
12:36
will
12:41
say not reverse in uh 1
12:51
mm okay it in reverse
12:55
Direction so here material is added
12:59
so 1 mm in Reverse
13:01
Direction
13:03
now let's say okay now we will move to
13:06
the our next
13:08
step now uh we will select the top face
13:11
and uh create a sketch and here uh we
13:16
will project all four edges so we will
13:19
use the project geometry tool select
13:22
this Edge this hede and this hede and
13:27
our bottom
13:29
we will move to the model click on our
13:32
pad and press the space
13:36
bar select it and press the space bar to
13:40
hide
13:41
it and
13:43
now we are going to create three
13:48
rectangle so click on the rectangle
13:51
option and draw one rectangle here one
13:55
here and uh one at the bottom
14:00
and now uh we will give the dimension to
14:04
constrain our rectangle
14:11
so this one will be 5.5 mm so I will
14:15
select the line and select on Dimension
14:20
Tool uh sorry it is a 55 not
14:24
5.5 55 and uh the this one is a
14:31
15 15 I move my Dimension
14:35
outside and uh from
14:39
this to this is
14:44
a
14:51
5.5 sorry uh this 55 Dimension is
14:57
uh come as per when we give 5.5 on the
15:01
both the
15:03
side so this Dimension is not required
15:06
we will constrain from here and here so
15:09
similarly I will select this point and
15:11
this point and I will give it uh
15:15
5.5 and I move the
15:19
dimension
15:21
now this is
15:26
30 30
15:30
and uh from this point to this point is
15:37
15
15:42
15 now I will give this Dimension
15:49
10 and from here to this point is 5 mm
15:54
or we can use the symmetricity option
15:57
here I can select this and this
16:05
and let's see what is
16:12
conflicting so so many constraint is
16:15
conflicting so what we will
16:17
do we will go to our sketch and
16:23
uh remove
16:26
this symmetricity
16:29
now we will go to the we will hide it in
16:34
simplest way what we will give we will
16:35
give the 5
16:37
mm from here to
16:40
here 5
16:43
mm so this is the fully
16:47
constrain I will move it to the
16:51
outside
16:54
now this is the 15 so from here to here
16:58
it is 5
17:01
mm I will move it so this one is a
17:04
constraint and this one is a
17:08
constrain I move the dimension for
17:11
better
17:12
Clarity where are the
17:15
dimensions so that uh you will have
17:18
clear picture what I have did now at the
17:22
bottom
17:24
side on the both the side we will give
17:26
5.5 from here to here I will give
17:30
horizontal
17:33
5.5 and from here to here I will
17:37
give
17:45
5.5 and this total is a 15 mm so I will
17:50
select the line and
17:57
give
17:59
let
18:00
me again edit the
18:12
sketch 15
18:15
mm I move this Dimension to the outside
18:19
this one and this
18:22
one and
18:24
uh from here to this this
18:29
point will be the 5 mm as we have did on
18:33
the top
18:34
side so give the 5 mm now I move my
18:38
Dimension outside so this is how uh we
18:41
have uh created the three rectangles 1 2
18:44
and three and we have fully constrained
18:47
it now I will close my
18:51
sketch and our next step is to make the
18:58
pocket so I will select on the pocket
19:01
tool and here you can see that
19:04
uh pocket has been created and the depth
19:09
I will cue
19:13
7.5 and I will say
19:17
okay so this is
19:20
a overall shape now we will uh move to
19:24
the next
19:26
step in the next step we will make a
19:30
slot for our camera so for
19:36
this I will switch to the isometric and
19:39
I will select this top face and I will
19:43
create a
19:44
sketch
19:47
now I will select the slot tool or I can
19:51
select a rectangle and then make my slot
19:53
so I will prefer to use the slot
19:56
tool so for better visibility I will
20:01
uh off my
20:04
solid and
20:08
now I will uh give my Dimension so
20:11
before giving the
20:13
dimension I require the edges so I will
20:17
uh first uh project the edges which I
20:19
required and then I will off my body so
20:25
while pressing the space bar make sure
20:27
that you should out of the command so
20:30
here I'm in command if I press on the
20:33
pocket it will not select it so right
20:35
click and come out of the command then
20:38
click on the pocket and press the space
20:40
bar so I would have only the projected
20:44
geometry which
20:46
provides clear
20:49
visibility now I will give my Dimension
20:52
from this point to this point I will
20:54
give
20:57
9.28
21:05
9.28 and
21:07
uh from this point to this point I will
21:11
give
21:17
7.35 I will move my Dimension so that
21:21
you can see
21:22
it now
21:24
slot Center to center from this point to
21:28
this point I will give the
21:32
horizontal
21:46
9335 slot Center this point to this
21:56
point now 9.
22:03
335 so before making that first uh we
22:06
will uh give the
22:09
radius so radius is uh 4
22:13
mm so that uh my sketch will not
22:17
shrink now I will
22:19
give the
22:21
dimension
22:24
9335 so here is a slot for our camera
22:29
on
22:31
phone so this is how we have fully
22:34
constrained it and I will come out of
22:37
the
22:40
sketch and uh here is our created slot
22:44
for the camera now I will select the
22:47
sketch and create on the pocket
22:50
tool and simply I will select true all
22:53
and say
22:56
okay now now this is the phone cover
23:00
which we have made now uh one thing uh
23:04
you may have observed that we have the
23:06
here sharp Corners so we will give the
23:11
fillet to these corners and provide a
23:14
finishing look to our phone
23:18
cover so here what we are going to do we
23:22
are going to provide the 2 mm fillet to
23:26
this edges and uh
23:30
1.5 mm fill it to the this internal
23:35
hede at our all Cuts so let's do
23:42
it so I will first select the ages where
23:46
I want to give 2 mm fillet so I will
23:49
select this and uh I will select this
23:56
age
23:58
this
24:02
hge this hge
24:05
and this
24:09
one and now on the top side where we
24:13
have our camera
24:17
so now I will select this age so I think
24:22
uh I have selected all the
24:25
edges now after selecting the edges
24:29
click on the
24:31
fillet and here I will give the 2 mm
24:35
fillet and I will switch to the
24:38
isometric so you can see that uh a fet
24:42
has been added at all the ages and I
24:45
will say
24:47
okay now I will
24:50
apply 5
24:53
mm fill
24:55
it so here I am going to give one by one
24:59
so I will select the fillet and here I
25:02
will give the 0.
25:04
five so you can see that it has been
25:06
smoothing with 05 radius say
25:10
okay
25:12
now I will select this
25:15
one
25:17
and from this
25:20
one I will select the
25:24
fet and I will give the0 five
25:30
so you can see that uh fillet has been
25:35
added now say
25:39
okay now I will switch to the isometric
25:42
view now here we have
25:46
successfully
25:48
created the smartphone cover in freead
25:52
if you want to give some look then go to
25:55
the appearances and uh
25:58
from here you can give some material for
26:02
example I can give the metallic
26:07
color so this is all about this tutorial
26:10
to model the smartphone cover in a free
26:14
CAD now we will uh render this uh phone
26:18
case with the help of a
26:20
cad so first install the Cades for this
26:24
head over to the Google and search for
26:26
the Cades
26:28
so once you search over the Google you
26:31
will be directed to the
26:33
open.com
26:35
product/ Cades and uh when you scroll
26:38
the Downs you will get the Cades 1.0
26:42
download it it is a ZIP file and now we
26:46
will uh select our phone case and uh
26:49
export it as a step
26:53
file so here I have already exported it
26:56
now
26:59
I will uh go to the download sections
27:02
and uh run my
27:08
Cades so here is a address which I have
27:12
already downloaded so once you open the
27:15
zip file you will get here the cad exe
27:19
double click
27:26
it so so here CES is open go to the file
27:30
section click on the import and uh
27:33
select the step
27:34
file and uh click on the import
27:39
now we will uh select our model go to
27:43
the material sections and select the
27:46
metal and from here I will uh select the
27:50
Chrome which is a metallic
27:53
color and now you can see that uh
27:58
our phone is uh phone case is
28:03
rendering you can apply different
28:05
settings to your rendering and uh you
28:10
can save as a
28:13
image click on the save
28:16
image and uh your image will be
28:21
saved let me show you the image of our
28:26
uh rendered phone case
28:30
so this is the beautiful image after the
28:33
rendering of a phone case so this is all
28:37
about this tutorial I hope you have
28:40
liked the modeling and rendering of the
28:43
phone case thank you for watching and
28:46
thank you for your valuable
28:48
time
