Steel Wheel 2013 - Final

We've had our final Steel Wheel Design Challenge presentation, for which my board features the design and concept to which I tailored all my ideas and critiques. Congratulations to those who won and great job to everyone who participated - we had lots of entries and great work. Somewhat classifiable as extracurricular, this project is worth doing on top of everything else, as it entails all the typical design criteria and processes and yet is a different kind of challenge.

Ford GT Wheel - Alias Model

Something I've meant to put up here.... Last semester we made a wheel in Alias as our first major assignment with the software, for which I chose to replicate one of the stock wheels of the Ford GT. Later, I had to take the wheel into Catia, where I redid the fillets and was instructed to add a post to the back and scale it to 1:6, as would be done if I were to mount wheels to a real-life model that stood independently of additional supports.
