Solidworks Speed modelling competition
Test your skills in timed SOLIDWORKS speed modelling and compete for recognition
Challenge
How the competition works
Each round we set a design brief and give you a time limit to complete it in SOLIDWORKS. Your model is judged on accuracy and how efficiently you work under pressure.
