SOLIDWORKS Harry Potter's Golden Snitch Tutorial

It’s safe to say that Quidditch is Harry Potter’s favorite wizarding pastime. As Hagrid would say, a wizard’s passion for Quidditch is the equivalent to a muggle’s passion for football. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the first publication in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. To celebrate, we are showing SOLIDWORKS users how to model the Golden Snitch – the little ball that Harry loves to hate. So hop on your Nimbus 2000 and let’s get started flying through our four part series.

Welcome back SOLIDWORKS wizards to our 4-part series where we are building the Golden Snitch to celebrate the anniversary of the start of the Harry Potter world. We’ve completed adding the outer detail to the Snitch’s body in the previous videos, now in part 3 of the series, we are going to begin building the wings using some unique tools, including the sketch on sketch Projected Curve option, the Flex tool, and the Curve Driven Pattern tool.

Wizards and muggles alike can learn something new from our Golden Snitch tutorial series! Can’t wait to watch the next video? View all of the tutorials on the playlist here.
