Performance, Comfort – Part 1

10 Aug, 2011 by in CAD, DESIGN

This is a guest post by Bruce Buck, avid photographer, videographer and workstation geek at MySolidBox.com.

There’s one constant in product design – the development of new products. Shocking and unexpected I know, but when that development gets down to all the individual component parts of a larger product, the process gets a whole lot more interesting. Welcome to the ‘Art to Part’ series where we’ll be looking at the details that go into the design from start to finish. Today, we have a part that you would think is fairly simple, a mountain bike handlebar. This one however, is aimed at completely changing the world of endurance/marathon racing.

Super Hot Falen Concept Car Designed in SolidWorks

05 Jun, 2008 by in DESIGN

We’ve seen some really sweet cars partially designed in SolidWorks, but the new Falen concept from Dowdeswell and Hardie has the unique pleasure of being designed completely in SolidWorks.

The design team, nestled between the glens and highlands of Perthshire, Scotland, plans to debut The Falen at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2009. This full carbonfibre monocoque beast will house a 800-hp, V-10 Judd GV5 S2 engine and rip the air at… yet to be determined speeds.

Check out the site for an animation of how the ‘cockpit’ opens and a shot of the fine-looking interior.
