Congratulations to Silvio Lavandeira, the Model of the Month winner for June!  He has created a beautifully detailed compound bow<\/A>. Read below about how he came up with this idea and what his future design plans are.<\/SPAN><\/P>

 <\/P>

About Me    <\/STRONG><\/FONT> <\/P>

 <\/P>

My name is Silvio Lavandeira. I was born in Brazil and later settled in London where I studied Design Engineering (CAD) for my degree, focusing on 3D skills.<\/P>

 <\/P>

Through academic accomplishments and previous work experience, I have developed strong manufacturing and design skills. I also have broad range of knowledge in concept design and technical surface modelling, specializing in Autodesk Alias, Autodesk Inventor, and Solidworks. I have also recently begun to explore the capabilities of Fusion 360.<\/P>

 <\/P>

Following a few years of professional experience, I decided to become a design consultant, working for small companies and individuals, executing cross-functional collaboration, and an emphasis on delivering a consistently high standard service. I am currently dedicated to the field of education, working as Associated Lecturer in a University in London. I also support Autodesk as an active member of the Autodesk Student Expert Community as well as Autodesk Elite Expert.<\/P>

 <\/P>

In a few words, I am 3D CAD\/CAS Evangelist, with a background in design and prototyping, who considers himself a mind blowing design engineer who is creative and extremely original, always looking for a great design challenge, and a bike enthusiast and beer lover.

I started using Fusion about 3 months ago, as I was intrigued to better understand the software as I see it is continuously undergoing development. I was certainly impressed with its capabilities and simplicity, as well the support from Fusion team. I am really into reverse engineering and the T-spline functionality is a superb tool! I also find the PULL feature simply jaw-dropping as it allows for me to simply re-compose the scan data (3D mesh) into a feasible model. In my opinion, this has put fusion 360 ahead of the game. Sometimes it does not provide a perfect model, but it still provides me with a great headset on my future model.       <\/P>

About the Design<\/SPAN><\/P>

 <\/P>

\"Bow.jpg\"<\/P>

 <\/P>

I have recently begun practicing archery and was fascinated by the design of these devices. In my free time, I just sat at home looking at the bow over and over and became so intrigued by the look and feel of the device. I then decided to re-produce the Compound Bow in Fusion 360 and now, further dedicated for Design for Autodesk<\/A>.<\/P>


I designed the bow as practice to include as part of my 3D design portfolio and to enhance my design and rendering skills.  I modelled it accurately with all details and parts, so it can easily be manufactured.<\/P>

 <\/P>

   <\/P>

The overall project took about 4 weeks to complete. This includes troubleshooting and days I did not have much time to work on it, all-in-all approaching 30 modelling hours. The model contains over 40 parts excluding the standard bit like bolts, washers, ball bearings and so on.   <\/SPAN><\/P>

 <\/P>

I will say, having experience with other software tools such as Inventor and Solidworks, my experience with Fusion 360 has not been much different. I find Fusion very easy to get started with and a greate fit for those who are just starting to use a 3D CAD package.<\/P>

 <\/P>

What next?<\/H2>

 <\/P>

As a bike enthusiast, I recently started a new project using Fusion 360 with my inspiration coming from Stacy Kohut\u2019s four-cross downhill wheelchair. It is an extremely interesting middle term project. Follow me on the Fusion Gallery<\/A> and as soon its ready you will be the first to be notified about! <\/SPAN><\/P>
