SolidWorks Names Student Design Contest Winners
 CONCORD,
Massachusetts, May 21, 2007 - SolidWorks Corporation today named an
international slate of winners of the first-ever SolidWorks World Design
Contest for students and professors, citing the soaring quality of students’
design work and quantity of entries.
“The caliber of designs we’re seeing from students in these contests
demands special recognition,” said Marie Planchard, director of worldwide
education markets for SolidWorks Corporation. “Although these designers are
just starting out, you would certainly never know it from what you’re
looking at. Their achievements are testimony to the talents of the
individual contestants, the competence of their engineering educators, and
the power of SolidWorks 3D CAD software to unleash their ideas for better
products.”
As in the professional version of the contest, prizes were awarded in
three categories – models, photorealistic images, and animations. Winners
were:

 “We
chose to model the Galeass ship because we were intrigued by its dual
power source – oarsmen and wind – and its role in history,” said Bruno
Silva, third-year student of mechanical engineering at Escola Superior de
Technologia de Abrantes in Portugal, co-designer of the first-place model.
“SolidWorks has been easy to learn, so we were confident we could execute
the complex design. It was a thrill to win.”
