Cute Ladybug
In this document I will go over the steps to take to make a cute ladybug.
Supplies
Computer, SolidWorks and 3D printer
Sketch Body
The first step to take is to start sketching on the front plane. You will sketch half of the ladybug's body, and then revolve the body.
Revolve Body
After revolving the body, I cut 1/3 of the body to make the bottom of the lady bug.
Fillet Feature
After making the bottom of the ladybug, I used the fillet feature to smooth out the neck of the ladybug.
Shell
I then sketched outer shell of the wings to make it lay on the back of the ladybug and extruded it.
Sketch Extrude
I then sketched out what I wanted to get cut out, to make the wings.
Cut Extrude
I then cut extrude the sketch.
Sketch Legs
I then started to work on the arms and legs of the ladybug. I sketched them on the bottom face of the lady bug.
Extrude Legs
I then extruded the arms and legs of the ladybug to what seem the best fit.
Sketch Spots
After i started working on the spots of the ladybug. I made a new plane referenced from the top plane. i sketched circles all around the wings and did the dimensions to what fit best.
Extrude Spots
I then extruded the spots from the surface which was the wings.
Sketch Face
I then sketched out the face of the ladybug, it dimensioned it to best fit.
Extrude Face
I then proceeded to only extrude the eyes from the face.
Extrude Eyes
I then extruded the pupils and mouth from the midplane.
Sketch Antennae
I then sketched out the sweep for the antennae.
Extrude Antennae
I then extruded the sketch of the sweep.
Color Ladybug
For the last step I colored the ladybug to perfection.
