Dive into complex patterns with SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform: https://hubs.la/Q03FP_V10

Have you ever looked closely at a golf ball? It seems simple enough, dimples patterned around the ball in an even spacing. But look closer. You'll notice that the pattern is actually a hexagon filled with circles. That makes replicating the pattern in CAD more than difficult; it's nearly impossible.

Jared Trotter, applications engineer at GoEngineer, wanted to tackle creating a golf ball, so he turned to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. On the Platform, he used 3D Pattern Shape Creator, which lets him create highly complex patterns much more simply than with traditional CAD.

Here, Jared walks you through his process step-by-step, explaining what went into his golf ball replication. What should he design next?
