Cool Things Project

In my SolidWorks class, each student was tasked with picking an object and modeling it in SolidWorks. I chose the video game character Bastion from the game Overwatch. This was my first experience with a large project in SolidWorks. It helped me learn basic design principles and techniques that I have used in my other projects.

Takeaways

Through this project, I was introduced to SolidWorks, and I was able to learn the basic principles and techniques of CAD

Some things I learned:

  • Using an assembly is helpful both for ease of modeling and computer processing power

  • When 3D printing, make sure that features are of a printable size
