![]() ![]() #Ski easy draw full#Mirror to create the full ski outline:Ĭreate the base P-tex shape by offsetting ski shape sketch by the width of the ski edge. Also enable the inflection points display option to make sure you're not creating inflection points:Ĭreate the ski shape sketch by converting and trimming side cut and tips sketches. Display the minimum radius to help determine shape. You can also drag the position of the middle spline point to modify the spline shape. Use the control polygons to push and pull the spline into desired shape. Dimenson to this point to define the ski width: Make this line tangent to the spline, this locates the point at the maximum distance from the ski centerline. Place an additional point on the spline and draw a horizontal construction line from it. Keep the spline simple, just three points, one at each end and one near the middle. I do not use a cat track, just a few sheets of hardboard and plastic to help distribute pressure into the ski lay-up:Ĭreate the side cut sketch, can be single or dual radii, or any shape you desire:Ĭreate tip and tail spline shapes. My concept is to create matching upper and lower press forms in order to maintain a very flat fire hose bladder which maximizes the contact patch. ![]() Tangent arcs extend the ellipses at tip and tail. This example design has low rockered tails:Ĭreate the ski base profile sketch by converting and trimming the profile sketch:Ĭreate a ski top profile sketch, an approximation used for press form design:Ĭreate the press form sketch, offset curves from ski base and top profiles. Camber height dimensioned from the top plane. Ellipses are tangent to the horizontal TOP PLANE and the camber arc is tangent to the ellipses. Parallel to RIGHT PLANE (= Ref plane = max camber), create additional planes for the tip and tail contact points and ski waist (center of side cut radius)Ĭreate the profile sketch, rocker ellipses and camber arc. This example reflects my latest ski build, an elliptical rockered ski 186cm long. Use tangent and coincident relations as necessary to establish desired geometry. Sketch relations are not displayed in these screen images. Here is my method to create ski designs using Solidworks. ![]()
