Overview
For my graduate CAD and Manufacturing class, I had to create a SOLIDWORKS model for my final project. I had the opportunity to model anything I wanted, so I decided to base the model on something I wear and use everyday - my watch!
I used my favorite Vincero watch as a reference for my watch model. I wanted to utilize my CAD knowledge and skill to the create the complex geometry of the watch while maintaining its clean, modern look.
Purpose
‣ Create a CAD model of a product with at least 3 unique parts
‣ Document work in tutorial format
Challenges
‣ Determining measurements of details based on reference watch
‣ Configuring ideal rendering settings
‣ Creating complex geometry and curves
‣ Designing in an organized and efficient way
Results
‣ Created and assembled a designer watch model
‣ Applied class concepts (e.g. projected lines and surfacing) to create complex geometries of watch components
‣ Rendered watch model using PhotoView 360
‣ Documented entire design process
Lessons And Improvements
‣ Surfacing
‣ Projected Lines
‣ Rendering
