Assembly of American Chopper:
All the above components are taken and open into the assembly section of Solidworks and with the help of different mating features, the entire assembly will be created. Once after the assembly of the American Chopper, the decals will be applied to the component of the chopper.
After Completing the decals, the camera, background, additional lighting and scenes will get adjusted and later we start the rendering photo view 360 or Solidworks visualize.
