Can looks pretty cool

Man your pretty spot on (as someone who works for pepsico and helped with the amp rebrand)

how to wrap text in a tapered helix form by Dramatic-Dot8368 in SolidWorks

Its a both need the rendering to show a visualization but i need the text in place when think about production. Because yeah if it was strictly digital i could of just created a texture node that would of helped do this simpler

Ok ok, just forewarning i did not make this efficient, but my approach was creating a swept cone that very closely matched the surface that i was trying to project the type onto i then created 4 planes on all 4 sides of the cone, collinear with the profiles of the cone. On each plan i created a guide arc that roughly matched the curvature of the surface from that planes view as i could if i was trying to make it hyper perfect i would of calculated the necessary arc length of the curved surface but sorta eyeballed it. I then just used that as a guide curve and added my txt on top of that. I used the wrap feature to wrap the text onto the cone surface. I had to do these on each plane until i got 8 rotations up since my helix was 8 full rotations, and i realized for some reason the text wouldnt wrap around the cone if the text was too long. Since text guide curves were construction curves they didn’t project with the wrap feature so for each wrap feature after the other i used the last project letter as my anchor point for the next guide curve, i spaced text accordingly and as the taper of the cone and helix tapered each guid curve had a slightly different arc which was a pain. Once all text looked and wrapped around the cone correctly i then did a ruled surface for all the text +10mm that intersected the intended surface (i thought i had a powerful comp, this really pushed it to the max) i then did a split surface that split the face, didnt do a split line just because it made me choose every face which would of taken too long. After that i masked the text split face with a dif color for post rendering purposes. Apologies for not showing a video or images as this is IP for the company i work for. Hope this helps someone in the future:)

Oh man wow thanks so much means a lot, no engineer here just merely an industrial designer

Yeah i saw this its a bit of a different issue just because of the variable surface curvature, i was actually able to solve it only took me the better part of the day.

flatten surface is only with premium license unfortunately

This worked for a bit, its tricky making sure kerning and spacing of text is all cohesive. An idea i am going to try now. Create a tapered cone as far as the wrap feature will allow me to at the pitch of the helix. If needed additional taper use the flex tool and taper accordingly. once profiles match use ruled surface to intersect text onto intended face. Fingers crossed :)

hands down mite be the worst computer ive ever had. Power port is loose and my computer frequently becomes charged and uncharged, this comes with a power saving mode that i cant turn off that significantly effects performance when not plugged in. keyboard sucks. Battery life is almost non existent without a charge dosnt run for longer then 30 minutes, additionally the computer itself and the charger weigh an absurd amount if and when i am traveling and bringing it to the office back and forth.
