Model Mania 2007-2013

Summer 2020

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 8: 2007

Phase 1 took 30 minutes, and phase 2 took about 10 minutes. This was a fairly easy part

Day 9: 2008

Phase 1 took 43 minutes, and phase 2 took 18 minutes. This is the first Model Mania year where the simulation portion was included on the 2D drawings

Day 10: 2009

Phase 1 took 38 minutes, and phase 2 took 12 minutes. Phase 2 required a simple simulation

Day 11: 2010

Phase 1 took me 28 minutes, and phase 2 took 16 minutes. This part was made with just 1 extrusion and 1 extruded cut with fillets. Phase 2 required editing the top profile

Day 12: 2011

Phase 1 took about 30 minutes, and phase 2 took 20 minutes. Phase 2 required an extra part to be added

Day 13: 2012

Phase 1 took 30 minutes, and phase 2 took 20 minutes. This was similar to 2010 model

Day 14: 2013

Phase 1 took 32 minutes, and phase 2 took 22 minutes
