control arm based on an OEM C6 control arm, establishing hard points for bushings, mounts, and ball joints\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe new control arm was

Methodology\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e - Each tube was designed as its own component, which makes it more controllable and results in clean exports for manufacturing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConstraints for tubes were preferred using sketches to avoid issues when tubes are

The correct notching method involves using the 'split face' command on the inner and outer tube faces, selecting the other tube as the splitting tool, and then using 'press pull' to subtract the tube thickness to create an accurate cope\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3D Sketching and Tubing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e - For complex geometry, such as off-road fenders, a 3D sketch was demonstrated, emphasizing the necessity of using

Alignment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e - A technique for orienting an unaligned 3D scan was shown, which involved converting the mesh to a component, using a three-point plane, creating a mesh section sketch, and using 'fit curve to mesh' to determine a center line\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJoints vs.
