I am making a pouch that a part will fit into. I have a solidworks model as a design base.


What I need to do is add a "padding" around the completemodel quickly and easily. Kind of like wrapping athickcloth around a box. Think of a cereal box lying flat with a wash rag draped across the top. I need to make the wash rag.


The ultimate goal is to make a mold for pressing the top and bottom pouch pieces (wash rags). I am thinking of a mold like a license plate stamp but with plastic.


How would I go about making the wash rag thickness a solid without including the original model?


Have I lost everyone?


Anyway, thanks for reading my ramblings and I hope you can help. Thanks.
