This is a short animation showing a simplified SolidWorks model of the Morgan Press clamping a blank mold shut.
I started modeling it yesterday before I left, and finished it this morning. I would say the total modeling time was about 3 hours. The oddest part of the whole experience was probably modeling a part in 3D based off of a drawing from 1977. I can only imagine what CAD programs were like at that time!
