SOLIDWORKS | Will It Blend? | Advanced Filleting + Blending Strategies

Will It Blend? Advanced Filleting + Blending Strategies in SOLIDWORKS | 3DEXPERIENCE World 2023 Fillets and blends are some of the most deceptively complex tools in SOLIDWORKS. In this session from 3DEXPERIENCE World 2023, Andrew Lowe, Design Director at Cortex Design, breaks down advanced techniques to help you go beyond standard fillets and achieve smoother, more intentional geometry. 🔹 What you’ll learn: The difference between fillets and blends—and when to use each How continuity (G0, G1, G2, G3) affects both aesthetics and engineering performance Common causes of failing fillets and how to resolve them Techniques for clean fillet intersections, washouts, and chamfer-to-fillet transitions Using tools like Split Line, Delete Face, Surface Fill, and Boundary Surface for sculpted blends Real-world design insights from actual products & applications Whether you’re aiming for flawless aesthetics, manufacturability, or both, these strategies will help you model with greater control and confidence. 📌 Presented at 3DEXPERIENCE World 2023 👤 Speaker: Andrew Lowe, Design Director, Cortex Design
