Join me as I walk through all four challenge models from Too Tall Toby’s Spring Open 2025 Final! This was one of the most exciting SolidWorks showdowns to date, with Ricardo Jean and Ace pushing their modelling speed and accuracy to the limit.
In this video, I recreate each of the four models and explain the techniques I used to solve them — from tricky sheet metal and shell features to clever patterning and complex multi-body parts.
Whether you’re sharpening your skills or just love learning new modelling strategies, you’ll pick up a stack of tips from these examples.
Congrats to both finalists @Ricardo.solidworks @acesaliba1047 and @TooTallToby for an awesome tournament.
