ASEE – Annual Conference – The flight home
So as the team packs up from the ASEE 2011 Vancouver, I have to thank my colleague, Charles for arranging all the logistics of the displays, artwork, workshops, presentations, employees and students from multiple continents and subsidiaries of DS .
... ContinuedW16 Engine: The Cylinder Head (Part 2)
In this post about the W16 Engine I will continue describing the cylinder head’s build up until the point I initially thought it is ready, but then realized it is flipped upside down.
You can find the first part of this post here.
Download the part file.
See detailed explanations in the extended entry at the end of the post.
Thank you for reading about this build and stay tuned for the next post which will continue the with the cylinder head’s „repair” and conversion for the right side of the engine.

Spartan Hoplite Helmet in SolidWorks
This is the helmet that I have been working on. To make this part, I created the helmet with proportions that appeared visually correct, and then used the Scale feature to bring the part to a reasonable size. With this
