Using some advanced surfacing and spline techniques, I compare using older traditional designing methods to designers using 3D surfacing combined with 3D printing to achieve a functional and better "styled" design in a fraction of the time. Finally, I illustrate real-world examples for creating right and left-hand versions for automotive applications. I also show a top-down design approach to make attachment alignment holes and pins as the parts needed to be cut in two to fit onto our printer. At GoEngineer, we strive to help everyone increase their CAD software ability and individuals' abilities in every aspect of 3D modeling. Please comment back with any thoughts, and I invite you to stay on the lookout for other videos I promise to produce!
