#CADModelOfTheDay

Hey Everyone! Today is my birthday and I wouldn’t want anything more than to start a new project! So here it is! #CADModelOfTheDay

As the name implies, I will model something new everyday for the foreseeable future. The results will then be posted to Twitter, YouTube community posts and of course instagram! So for the first day, I have something that’s been floating around (heh), a balloon! I modeled it using revolves for the main features, freeform for the wrinkly knot of the balloon, and then produced a simple animation using the new flexible components function in SW2020.
Let Me know what you think! #CADModelOfTheDay#CAD#solidworks

My #CADModelOfTheDay for Day 2 is a Dumbbell! Simple extrudes with draft made most features, the heads were then circ. patterned (not mirrored) to prevent handedness, finally the knurled grip was made using 3D Texture feature. #solidworks #cad #3d #3dmodeling #dumbbell

Day 3 of #CADModelOfTheDay is a shampoo bottle! Swept surface features created most of the body, Split command separated the bottle and the cap, Boundary boss and thread tool created the interface. #solidworks #cad #3d #3dmodeling

Day 4 of #CADModelOfTheDay is a super shroom! Couple of revolves make the body, the eyes are done with the Dome feature, and the white spots are accomplished with the Wrap feature set to scribe. #solidworks #3D #CAD #3Dmodeling #mario #supermario #mushroom

Day 5 of #CADModelOfTheDay is a siren! I was playing around with animations and the PhotoView360 Renderer and got this! But why is it is going off? #solidworks #cad #3D #3dmodeling #everyday

Today’s #CADModelOfTheDay is a Peanut Butter Cup! This was deceptively challenging to get the subtle breaking of the edges and to get it to blend together properly. This was a fun (and delicious) one for Day 6! #solidworks #cad #3d #3dmodeling #everyday

My brother and I just got this amazing synth in the mail yesterday! Day 7 of #CADModelOfTheDay is the #TeenageEngineering OP-1. It’s beautiful minimalist design challenged me to use body manipulations in order to model it quickly. #solidworks #cad #3d #3dmodeling #synth #music

Keep perfect time with the #CADModelOfTheDay for Day 8, a metronome! This time I played around with the motion blur setting when I rendered the #animation. It was also good practice for weldments and sheet metal! #solidworks #cad #3d #3dmodeling #render #metronome #music

As you can see, this robot is very excited to see you as my #CADModelOfTheDay (Day9)! I remodeled specifically to #animate based on an existing design by @danielleboyerr (wish her a happy bday!) I’ve always wanted to try a cartoon style animation! #solidworks #cad #3d #render

hooman has modeled #doggo treat. but ifs i change da draft angle from 5° to 10°, we makes 30% more treats for all de good doggos. Wut? I m good engineer! #CADModelOfTheDay Day 10 #solidworks #cad #render #3d #3dmodeling #everyday #engineering #dog
