3D modeling a twisted ring band, Part 1 | Shapr3D step-by-step

Today’s step-by-step 3D modeling video features a twisted ring band created using the Loft tool. Wayne State Industrial Design Professor Claas Kuhnen leads you through the steps of sketching the layout and then modeling the geometric shape, with special attention to the smooth transitions between the twisted and not-twisted bits.
