Wow, this was great to see, and really helpful to look at your 3D after. Have you ever thought about doing a modern Golf Driver? Non planar faces and no symmetry make for a difficult surfacing exercise.
That’s a great idea for an exercise. I saw someone post something about a golf driver on the SW reddit page last week, definitely not an easy challenge.
I was probably rambling... I used to use Creo (wildfire days) and it definitely has more robust tools for reference control as well as surface analysis. Cannot comment on NX
@@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio No worries mate. I enjoy the rambling. Noted - thanks, and thanks for the videos. I'm early stage in my design career, and in a young Aussie studio without deep knowledge in surfacing, so I'm really grateful for your videos Andrew.
All good, pretty different scene now from when I started off in 2000. Access to super powerful tools and cost is less of a factor. And... there are videos about most things to help you on your way! All the best!
Last I heard, Logitech still use Creo. When I was at Designpartners (now 20 years ago... feeling old) they designed quite a few of Logitech's products, all done in Wildfire at the time. Main exterior/offset surfaces handed over to Logitech ME dept (in Cork?) for ME modelling.
Such a shame Logitech doesn’t provide 3D previews of mice anymore. I’ve been trying to find a replacement for now 10 year old g9x, nothing comes close to the shape. Still waiting for a remake😅
Is that the g9x with changeable panels? I helped produce some renderings for the launch. I never got a full sample of it though. I know what you mean. I have a Mx518, which they did relaunch, but I cannot find any. The mx518 has enough angle to rotate my arm AND it has a form that you can lift (i'm a noisy mouse user!) lots of the new ergo mice have no undercuts, so no lifting.
Absolutely legendary surfacing…. Great work mate 🎉
Thanks!
Hey there, thanks! Very generous of you. Cheers, Andrew.
You're the Solidworks Goat!

Love it. Thank you Andrew!!!!!!!
All good Dominic! Thanks for the super thanks!
Amazing surfacing solutions, Andrew. Thanks you very much
All good Ali!
When you mentioned that modelling this in Solidworks for manufacturing is good going/hard work, what is a better program for it? Creo? NX?

AMAZING Work Andrew!
While someone mentioned Logitech. I wonder what CAD they are using for modeling of their products in the first place?!

Thanks for that, much appreciated!
