Conceptual design of an American Chopper.

Introduction

Solidworks has rich complex functionalities and design capabilities that we can use with a simple and dynamic interface.

We can pick up desired functionalities at your active interface and hide useless ones from the active interface.

Objective

Conceptual design of an American Chopper.

While modeling an American Chopper I have learned many different dynamic tools & features which any user can according to his convenient.

Using SolidWorks design checker, I have learned to check dimensioning standards, fonts, materials, sketches and other design elements as against the specified design criteria.

Here are some snapshots and rendered images of the parts and also mentioned the tools and features used to model it.
