Dassault Systèmes’ Post

Here’s a sneak peek into one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve had the pleasure of taking part in. From concept to a fully functioning machine in a matter of 5 months! When one of my clients requested me to do the exterior design for a miniaturized, electrified flat fender Jeep prototype it didnt take a lot of convincing. Straight away I found myself sketching on autocad and exporting the drawings to the CAM software for laser cutting the body. While it wasn’t a prerequisite I was determined to get the proportions just right. Mind you, I don’t hold a degree in industrial design. But having keenly studied different car designs over the years I’m very particular about balance over heavy styling. So I had to do this right. I knew what the rough footprint of the car should be, but the more precise constant I utilized was the tire size. With this measurement I scaled down the classic proportions of the CJ-2A to fit. I even considered the packaging, pushing the cabin halfway under the bonnet as it no longer needs to house an engine, in order to create more leg room. This was unfortunately dropped to make the build easier, along with some of the front end styling. The job was done within a few hours and just a few more to turn out the sections for the box frame at my workshop. Over the next few months my client leisurely fitted the mechanicals and invited me over a test drive. As an engineer, driving vehicles I've designed and built brings immense pride – and that feeling is only heightened by the emblem on the dash. 🇱🇰 #ev #prototyping #cj2a #autocad #lasercutting #tubebending #madeinsrilanka

🚗💡 Demystifying Class A in Automotive Design 🎨🔧 Ever wondered what Class A means in the world of automotive design? 🤔 Let’s dive in! 🏊♂️ 📍 Highest Surface Quality: Class A surfaces represent the pinnacle of surface quality in car design 🚗. 📍Craftwork End of Design: It’s not just about creating the main surface shapes, but also perfecting those surfaces, designing flanges, and panel gaps to ensure a beautiful design turns into a beautifully manufactured product 🏭 📍Demands High Level of Skills: Achieving Class A surfaces requires a high level of automotive design knowledge and surface modelling skills 🧠. It’s often seen as the ‘Holy Grail’ of surface modelling 🏆 🛠️ Tools for Class A Design: The most widely used software tools for Class A development are Autodesk Alias and ICEM Surf123.  🎓 Learning Class A Design: There are various options to learn Class A design. Online platforms like Udemy5 and Class Central6 offer courses in automotive design. 🔥 The world-famous Petersen Auto Museum partnered with Yellowbrick to offer a free online automotive design course7 In a nutshell, Class A in automotive design is all about achieving the highest quality of surface modelling, combining aesthetics, engineering, and production requirements to create a beautifully manufactured product 🚀. Stay tuned and follow for more insights into the fascinating world of automotive design! 🌐 #automotivedesign #mechanicaldesign #claasA #surfacedesign #automotiveindustry #meme #memesdaily

I've been working on a sleek and ergonomic sports water can, designed entirely using SolidWorks. The Surfaces tools in SolidWorks have been incredibly powerful in bringing this concept to life, allowing for complex and smooth surface modeling that ensures both aesthetics and functionality. 🔧 Key Features: Ergonomic Design: Tailored to fit comfortably in the hand, enhancing grip during intense workouts. Aerodynamic Shape: Designed with streamlined surfaces for a modern look and improved usability. Innovative Spout: Features a spill-proof spout with a quick-access cap for on-the-go hydration. Lightweight Material: Utilizes high-quality, lightweight materials for easy portability. Using SolidWorks Surfaces tools, I was able to create intricate and precise curves, optimizing the design for both performance and style. This project has been a fantastic opportunity to push the boundaries of what's possible in product design. Check out the renderings and let me know what you think! Feedback and suggestions are always welcome. #ProductDesign #SolidWorks #Surfaces #SportsEquipment #Innovation #3DModeling #EngineeringDesign #CAD

🚗 *Day 8: Designing a Toy Car in SolidWorks* 🎨  Today’s challenge was all about creativity and fun! I decided to model a *toy car* 🚙 using SolidWorks. This project pushed me to combine technical skills with imaginative design.  Here’s how I approached it:   🔹 *Sketching the Base Shape*: Started with a simple rectangular base and extruded it to form the body.   🔹 *Adding Wheels*: Created circular sketches for the wheels, extruded them, and added fillets for smooth edges.   🔹 *Fine Details*: Added headlights, a grille, and playful curves to make the car look vibrant and fun.   🔹 *Assembly*: Put together the body and wheels, ensuring proper alignment.   🔹 *Rendering*: Applied bright colors and textures to bring the model to life!  💡 *Key Learnings*:   - Leveraging *spline curves* for smooth transitions.   - Using the *fillet and chamfer* tools to enhance aesthetics.   - Experimenting with *material finishes* for a polished look.  Designing toys like this is not just about CAD; it’s about unleashing your creativity while mastering your tools. 🛠️  What do you think of my toy car design?

🚗 Day 24 of My 30-Day SOLIDWORKS Challenge: Toy Car Frame 🎮 Today’s design is a toy car frame, marking the start of a fun and detailed project. While I completed the frame, the rest of the design will be a future project—sometimes, great ideas take time to evolve! ✅ Current Features: - A sleek frame structure, ready to support wheels, axles, and additional components. - Designed with proportions for a realistic and functional toy car model. - A foundation that balances durability and lightness for play or display. This project reminded me of how enjoyable it is to work on designs that spark creativity and imagination. I look forward to revisiting this one and adding the finishing touches someday! 💡 GitHub Update: The frame design is available for download here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dXPEiDWi What’s your favorite design challenge when working on projects like this?

It sounds like you've designed a logo inspired by the Mercedes-Benz logo using SolidWorks. Here’s a brief description you could use: --- **Logo Design Description:** "I created a refined and detailed representation of the iconic Mercedes-Benz logo using SolidWorks. This 3D model captures the elegance and precision synonymous with the Mercedes brand, showcasing the distinctive three-pointed star within a circular frame. The design emphasizes clean lines and geometric perfection, reflecting the high standards and innovative spirit of Mercedes-Benz." --- If you have specific details or aspects of your design that you’d like to highlight, feel free to share them, and I can tailor the description further. #solidworks #Autocad #catia #NX #RVMCAD

🔧 Mastering 3D Sketching in SolidWorks: A Game Changer for Design! 🔧 In the world of CAD, precision and flexibility are key, and SolidWorks' 3D Sketching feature is a tool every designer should have in their arsenal. 🎯 Whether you're working on complex models, custom piping, or intricate product designs, 3D sketching offers unparalleled control over shapes and dimensions. With the ability to sketch in all three dimensions, you can quickly visualize your ideas, create complex curves, and integrate components seamlessly into your design. This is especially powerful in industries like: ⚙️ Product Design: Create ergonomic and aesthetically appealing products. 🚗 Automotive: Design complex exhaust systems or chassis components. 🏗️ Architecture: Bring building designs to life with detailed structural elements. 🛠️ Mechanical Engineering: Perfect for designing machine parts and assemblies with intricate geometries. Check out my latest video where I explore 3D sketching in SolidWorks and how you can leverage it to boost your design workflow! 💡 #SolidWorks #3DSketching #CADDesign #ProductDevelopment #Engineering #Innovation #DesignSkills #DesignEngineering https://lnkd.in/dQPUEvFt
