Doing more than I was asked turned me into an engineer!
Lamborghini
Lamborghini Mjaydor (concept), an Automoblox C9-S redesign
A Lamborghini roadster concept, designed in Inventor and 3D printed, for a high school CAD class that asked for a simple box truck.
LOG · WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES
The Lamborghini Mjaydor is a concept roadster, designed in Autodesk Inventor as a redesign of the Automoblox C9-S toy car.
WHY
For my high school CAD class we were supposed to create a simple box truck as our final presentation.
WHAT I WORKED ON
I designed a Lamborghini Aventador roadster in Inventor, inspired by the Lamborghini Ganador, the Ferrari California T and the Locust. We had 4 weeks, 2 classes per week, and I finished it in 5 sessions, ahead of schedule, so I designed some Minion characters under the same assignment too. We printed it on a small Creality printer, at around 4 by 2 inches. My work was so far beyond the scope of the class that when we went on a field trip to the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD) to hear from the engineers there, my teacher asked me to present it. We got pizza, and one of the engineers took my model around their office to show other people. I was called the "Lamborghini kid" for a whole day. I had no CAD experience before that class, and I could barely speak English.
WHAT CAME OF IT
This project is why I'm an engineer now. After my teacher saw it, he asked me what I wanted to become. I said a doctor, and he looked at me with disgust and shock and said, "Doctor?! You should do engineering."
