Lego Brick Hot Rod
As an assignment for our 3D CAD class, we had to design an object in Lego Digital Designer. We then had to recreate the Lego bricks we used in 3D CAD, as an exercice on parametric modeling. This meant that we had to be able to specify the length, width and height of a brick in an Excel document, have our CAD software read this and automatically generate the desired brick. This was achieved by strategically building up the CAD models using parameters, allowing me to create various different bricks without having to model them each individually.
As a car enthousiast, I chose for a hot rod that consisted of 527 parts in Lego Digital Designer. I toned that down a bit in CAD where the model consists of just under 300 different pieces, yet every single brick in CAD is also an existing one that can be found on the Lego website.
