Buckminsterfullerene, also known as the buckyball, is a spherical carbon molecule with the formula C60. It was discovered in 1985 by Sir Harold Kroto, Robert Curl, and Richard Smalley, who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996 for this discovery. Buckyballs are named after the architect and futurist Buckminster Fuller, who developed the similar geodesic dome.
Onshape is a cloud-based 3D CAD (computer-aided design) software platform that allows users to design, edit, and collaborate on 3D models. Onshape is a powerful tool for creating complex 3D models, including buckyballs.
In this guide, we will show you how to turn a sphere into a buckyball in Onshape. We will provide step-by-step instructions, as well as tips and tricks to help you create a perfect buckyball.
Before we start, you will need the following:
1. Create a new Onshape document
Open Onshape and click on the "New Document" button. In the "New Document" dialog box, select the "Part" template and click on the "Create" button.
2. Create a sphere
Click on the "Insert" menu and select "Sphere". In the "Sphere" dialog box, enter the following values:
Click on the "OK" button to create the sphere.
3. Create a plane
Click on the "Insert" menu and select "Plane". In the "Plane" dialog box, select the "XY Plane" option and click on the "OK" button.
4. Project the sphere onto the plane
Select the sphere and click on the "Project" button. In the "Project" dialog box, select the plane you created in the previous step and click on the "OK" button.
5. Create a hexagon
Click on the "Insert" menu and select "Polygon". In the "Polygon" dialog box, enter the following values:
Click on the "OK" button to create the hexagon.
6. Move the hexagon to the center of the sphere
Select the hexagon and click on the "Move" button. In the "Move" dialog box, enter the following values:
Click on the "OK" button to move the hexagon.
7. Rotate the hexagon
Select the hexagon and click on the "Rotate" button. In the "Rotate" dialog box, enter the following values:
Click on the "OK" button to rotate the hexagon.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to create the remaining hexagons
You will need to create a total of 12 hexagons. To do this, repeat steps 6 and 7, rotating each hexagon by 30 degrees.
9. Create the pentagons
Click on the "Insert" menu and select "Polygon". In the "Polygon" dialog box, enter the following values:
Click on the "OK" button to create the pentagon.
10. Move the pentagon to the center of the sphere
Select the pentagon and click on the "Move" button. In the "Move" dialog box, enter the following values:
Click on the "OK" button to move the pentagon.
11. Rotate the pentagon
Select the pentagon and click on the "Rotate" button. In the "Rotate" dialog box, enter the following values:
Click on the "OK" button to rotate the pentagon.
12. Repeat steps 10 and 11 to create the remaining pentagons
You will need to create a total of 20 pentagons. To do this, repeat steps 10 and 11, rotating each pentagon by 36 degrees.
13. Join the hexagons and pentagons
Select all of the hexagons and pentagons and click on the "Join" button. In the "Join" dialog box, select the " 缝合" option and click on the "OK" button.
14. Hide the sphere
Select the sphere and click on the "Hide" button. This will hide the sphere, leaving only the buckyball.
