How do you create a smooth, curved handle in Onshape and more importantly, how do you develop it as part of a real design process?

In this short tutorial, we use the Sweep tool to model a curved handle by sketching a path and profile, then turning it into a fully parametric 3D feature. Perfect for GCSE and A-level Design & Technology students working on product design or NEA projects.

This isn’t just about learning a tool — it’s about:
Understanding profile vs path
Developing ergonomic forms
Refining a design through iteration
Modelling with intent, not just clicking features

We’ll cover:
Creating a controlled sketch path
Adding a circular profile
Using Sweep correctly
Refining the form with fillets
How to adjust dimensions for design development

Ideal for:
• Students designing handles, grips or ergonomic products
• Teachers looking for quick classroom demos
• Anyone wanting to move beyond basic extrudes

This is a core skill that bridges basic modelling and more advanced parametric design thinking.
