How to make a wave spring...?


Recommended Posts

How do you make a wave spring?? Let me guess: make points on a circle, array them, have two planes connect them with what, a spline? Then you have a path along which to sweep your profile, which is the cross section of the spring! I may have just answered my own question.....

That is one way much the same as this

, another is import 3d points and spline then then sweep a profile.

When you say "wave spring" do you mean a Belleville spring? Looks like a washer with waves in it?

Yes, a Belleville spring, I never knew that's what it was called....

Actually no, after doing a google image search, I realize that it is not a belleville spring I am talking about.... I'll model it (since I ended up figuring out the answer to my original question) and post. Thanks for the input! :D

Okay ... now I'm really curious to see what the actual part looks like, so make sure you come back with a picture, okay? :)
