Teapot Warmer

grabcad

A brass teapot warmer consisting of bent wires and a single deep-drawn part for tea candle placement is described. To maintain tea heat longer, use multiple deep-drawn parts with extra candles. After soldering all components, a chrome or copper coating can be applied. However, the soldered seams are not visible in the model. To display them as concave radii, the assembly must be merged into one part (named "Shrink Wrap"). This merging hides subassemblies and individual parts when opening the STEP file. Unfortunately, this method is necessary to represent soldering seams in a Pro/ENGINEER assembly; otherwise, subassembly or component separation is impossible. Your understanding is appreciated.
