While this sprint will be introduced before the Surface Modelling 101 session, you are welcome to start working on it and learn as you go. There are various surface modelling resources that can be found both on our confluence (linked below) and online.
The purpose of this first sprint is to get you more familiarized with surface modelling tools, and it will not be as “formal” as the next two sprints. The timeline should be taken as a guideline, and you should work at your own pace.
Week 1:
Begin with conceptual design. Decide how you want to solve the design while keeping in mind constraints and criteria. After finalizing your conceptual design, you should advance to some CAD (the exciting part)!
Bring To Review: An in-progress first CAD iteration within SolidWorks, plus any questions/problems you may be having with surface modelling.
Week 2:
By week three you should have more finalized CAD and should begin adding and perfecting more complex features.
Bring To Review: Completed first CAD iteration within SolidWorks → surface modelling
Week
...
2:
A completely finished CAD model should be ready, this should be exactly how you want the design to look like in real life. All dimensions and features should be accurate and modelled using proper techniques. You should be able to justify your design decisions to us, and walk us through your design process.
