The wait is over, It’s time to announce the theme of the SOLIDWORKS xDesign India Challenge …

The Future of Urban Mobility India

Now that teams are more familiar with SOLIDWORKS xDesign, it’s time to start your design contest submissions! Our challenge, The Urban Mobility for India, can be the classic car, rickshaw, tuktuk, bus, metro or something out of a science fiction movie! Whatever your team wants to design, as long as it is a form of urban transportation.

Designs will be judged by a panel of SOLIDWORKS executives and will be judged based on creativity, elegance of design, and participation in the 3DEXPERIENCE community. All posts to the 3DEXPERIENCE community must include the team number and the hashtag #ContestEntry. For example, the title of a post could be “Check out this cool design! [Team 000] #ContestEntry.”
