The Art of the Reflection

In consumer electronics, the quality of a product's surface isn't just about how it feels—it's about how it catches the light. Class-A surfacing is the gold standard for creating these "perfect" reflections.

What is Class-A Surfacing?

Technically, it refers to surfaces that have curvature continuity (G2 or G3) across all boundaries. In SolidWorks, this requires moving beyond simple fillets to advanced boundary surfaces and lofting with curvature constraints.

Transitioning to Manufacturing

A beautiful digital model is useless if it can't be molded. We'll explore how to maintain aesthetic intent while adding necessary draft angles and parting lines.
