Welcome to the first CADPRO Systems Design Challenge – Fusion Fishing.

The idea is to design the best fishing lure you can using Autodesk Fusion 360 and the supplied hook model.

An example lure, model created by Korbász Krisztián, is shown  here.

The rules are simple:

• Deadline for entry submissions is Tuesday 31st January 2017 at 12pm NZST.
• One entry per person.
• You can place as many hooks as you like on the lure body, but you must use the supplied hook model.
• Entries will be judged on the originality of the concept, its functionality, the quality of entry execution, and design-specific criteria such as weight and design life cycle thinking.
• CADPRO Systems will judge the entries. The judge’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

Designs should include:

• Original content (no cheating!)
• Parametric modelling (features from sketches)
• Freeform modelling
• Analysis
• Rendering (pretty pictures)

Some nice extras:

• CAM toolpaths
• Drawings
• 3d printed part!
