• Take a real-world object and re-create a 3D model of it in SOLIDWORKS, including GD&T drawings

• Trick scooter, consisting of 9 major components, to be fully recreated with aid of calipers, rulers, and protractors

• Meticulously record dimensions of each major component of the real model

• Research online postings of dimensions to substitute for a lack of measurement devices

• 30+ hours in SOLIDWOKS computing geometries, troubleshooting, and assembling such that the bars and wheels move as intended

• Presentation of completed model with renderings, moving parts, and learnings

• Gained skills creating a mock-up based off of measurements- product development

• Assisted in progress towards CSWA certification

Key Learnings: Some geometries are too complex to dimension by hand without the aid of machinery, leaving it impossible to perfectly recreate. With the fork component, the geometry around the wheel area is too complex, leaving the modeling to be based only on visual accuracy. With proper machinery, a much more accurate model of a real-life object would be able to be constructed.
