A masterclass example of surface modeling in OnShape (AmazingHand by Pollen Robotics)

[Alan Timm]

I'm not sure how many people out there would appreciate this, but their use of surface modeling to create the hand shells it a top notch example of doing it right.  This is an area I sorely need to learn in order to level up my design skills.

If you're curious, in this part studio:

• hide all other parts than the top and bottom hand shells
• unhide all of the planes and sketches in the hand shell folder in the timeline
• the just walk through the steps by selecting each sketch and operation in order to see how the shells are made.
