Solidworks & AutoCAD 1

Solidworks:

the choice parametric modeling

software in the industry, and ideally

suited for most 3D printing and CNC

applications.

AutoCAD:

The old guard megalith of

computer design.

Most widely used and

arguably most power-

ful CAD program on

the market.

The two pieces of software most used for the designs

shown herein are Solidworks and AutoCAD

Masters:

Designed entirely in Solidworks, these are

masters for a steampunk (Victorian science

fiction) themed chess set. The initial prototypes were 3D

printed in ABS plastic on an FDM device. The final proofs

were printed using a high resolution stereolithography.

The masters are to be used to produce silicone molds for casting full

sets in plastic, and also white and dark chocolate.

Electric Violin conceptual

development and fabrication.

Concept through prototype...

Designed entirely in Solidworks. This version was

produced without the electronics pockets that

would be present in a production model.

The bout and chinrest were CNC milled out of

model board and ABS plastic, respectively.

FDM 3D printing was used to prototype the com-

plex dragon tuning box before it and the neck were

also CNC milled out of solid teak wood. The piece

was finally painted and finished for presentation

using surplus automotive paint and clearcoat to get

a lustrous metallic finish.

Architectural Modeling 8

1:48 scale architectural reproduction of the birthplace of Earl “Curly”

Lambeau, founder of the Green Bay Packers. Originally constructed

in 1868, the house was restored as a historic site around 2008. The

AutoCAD files from that restoration were used to create the model

seen here.

< The actual house in Green Bay

< during the painstaking

process of matching the

aged brick pattern

The brick walls are formed polystyrene, the

siding is individually cut polystyrene strips.

The stone foundation was sculpted by hand,

then molded and cast in epoxy resin.

The fence is laser cut acrylic.

Fob Watch Housing A digitally designed and fabricated pocket watch housing for the Motorola 360 smart watch.

Hockey Sled Custom Redesign

Specially designed sled concept and

scale prototype for sled hockey.

Created for paraplegic athlete

with cerebral palsy.

The specially designed

backrest folds down to form a

ramp so the player can strap

himself for play unassisted.

Conceptual Design

Conceptual Design 9

The initial concept was developed

in Solidworks as an assembly.

Individual parts and drafts

were 3D printed (FDM) in ABS

plastic. Final proof is high

resolution SLA printed.

Memorial Bench

Original concept picked up and de-

veloped by NWTC students to ulti-
