A riveting experience: SolidWorks builds an airplane

2017-06-05T21:17:10.321Z

SolidWorks software engineers and professionals start assembling a Zenith kit in their FabLab at their Waltham, Massachusetts headquarters. The high level of finish and completion of Zenith Aircraft kits (possible in large part due to SolidWorks 3D design software) makes the parts ready to assembly with just simple hand tools.
On May 31, Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks employees started assembly of the Zenith kit with a team (mainly software engineers, management and interns) under Zenith Aircraft guidance. While completely inexperienced in aircraft assembly, their enthusiasm (and willingness to learn and to read instructions) made up for their lack of experience. After just a few hours they had the rear fuselage assembly together.
This project illustrates how modern Zenith kits are developed using advanced 3D design software (SolidWorks) to allow for final hole-size match-drilled assemblies, and where the resulting kit can be put together by a group of amateur builders (with no prior hands-on experience).
Needless to say, their enthusiasm was contagious and they're eager to continue on with the forward fuselage, tail sections, and the wings!

Zenith Aircraft hands-on kit airplane building workshop

Here's a quick paced overview of the Zenith Aircraft workshop experience from June 16 & 17, 2016.
Great group of particpants! Watch as the twelve rudder assemblies come together over two days of fun and learning. Most workshop particpants go on to successfully build and complete their own Zenith kit airplane.

The Kit: Zenith CH 750 Cruzer

2016-03-08T19:48:26.818Z

Here are some nice views of the complete Zenith CH 750 Cruzer kit as it is spread out on the floor at the Zenith Aircraft factory for the occasion of the FAA kit evaluation (for meeting the 51% rule).
In the background is the finished CH750 Cruzer airplane, as well as a Quick Build Kit (QBK) fuselage assembly (on the right). The wood crate (on the the left) holds all the kit parts nicely and can shipped throughout the USA and around the world. Not shown here are the avionics (instruments) and the engine (firewall-forward).
