Objective

I wanted to challenge myself to do Dassault Systèmes's 21 years of Model Mania by completing the designs from each year (2000-2020) in 21 days. I recorded the time it took to complete each model

‍

Day 1: 2000

I completed the design for Stage in 60 minutes, and I finished the modifications for Stage 2 in 10 minutes

‍

‍

Day 2: 2001

Phase 1 took 92 minutes and required some troubleshooting. Dimension was missing for the rib. Using the video for that particular reference. Phase 2 took about 12 minutes to make the modifications

‍

‍

Day 3: 2002

Phase 1 took about 40 minutes using the Drafts and Shells tools to model the part. Phase 2 took 20 minutes, it was longer because it needed a few different configuration variants of Phase 1

‍

‍

Day 4: 2003

Phase 1 required 60 minutes, and phase 2 took 30 minutes. Phase 2 involved flipping the rib to the other side of the part. I was able to do this without any additional sketches by changing the plane it was drawn on

‍

‍

Day 5: 2004

Phase 1 took 48 minutes, and phase 2 took 36 minutes. After figuring out the from offset extrude cut it made phase 2 simple

‍

‍

Day 6: 2005

Phase 1 took 20 minutes, and phase 2 took 12 minutes. This part was simple, using extrusions, aloft and revolve cut

‍

‍

Day 7: 2006

Phase 1 took 26 minutes, and phase 2 took 6 minutes. Phase 2 was simple with 2 drafts feature
