SolidWorks build turns seven actuators into a 7-DOF humanoid robot arm
philfung · x · 2026-07-28
A builder documented how they went from seven floating actuators in SolidWorks to an initial prototype of a 7-DOF humanoid robot arm.
The post says the full CAD workflow was screen-recorded over more than two hours for Robotics Builders members, and the image shows the arm layout and the staged assembly process. This is mainly a hands-on robot-arm CAD walkthrough rather than a product announcement.
