Re: Did Your Team Submit A 2007 Autodesk Inventor Award Entry?

We didn't submit an entry. Unfortunately, I do all of the CAD work on our team and am ineligible because I am not a student. Also, I vastly prefer Solidworks to Inventor and have done all of my design work with Solidworks for the last three or four years.

On our team initiatives for next season is forming relationships with professional machinists who can take on some of the burden of manufacturing parts. I hope this'll allow me to spend more time with students focusing on mechanism design instead of manufacturing. I'm of the mind that the ability to model things in CAD without knowing exactly what the parts you're modeling do or why they're designed the way they are is pretty much useless, so I won't train kids to reproduce parts that have been designed or manufactured by someone else.
