3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers
is Jason Pohl’s “digital clay”
Dirt bikes, tree forts, 4-wheelers — Jason Pohl
grew up in the dirt, and remembers vividly the
way rivers cut through the land surrounding
his rural home. He soon learned to harness
the same carving and sculpting prowess that
he revered in water as he pursued a fine arts
degree. And it is something he continues to
command every day thanks to 3DEXPERIENCE
SOLIDWORKS for Makers.
A self-proclaimed “pretengineer,” Pohl’s
desire to make his designs “work” led him from
the polygonal world of video game modeling
and animation to the powerful fabrication and
visualization toolkit provided by 3DEXPERIENCE
SOLIDWORKS for Makers.
And make it work he did when he joined the
Orange County Choppers team as Lead Designer,
where he helped realize the wildest vehicular
fantasies of the most demanding custom
motorcycle enthusiasts. Using tools like xShape,
Jason sculpted his client’s imaginations into
reality, then created lifelike renders to share their
vision, and finally realized them physically with
CNC and 3D printing.
Jason likens 3D printing to “teleporting”
his designs into real life after using xShape to
create them from simple blocks that he calls
“digital clay.” His projects include creating WWE
championship belts and a unique fishing lure,
although his favorite is always “the next one!”
Asked why he relies on 3DEXPERIENCE
SOLIDWORKS for Makers for all of his DIY
projects, Jason explained “for the longest time
you had to sit down with sketches and drafts and
sweeps and extrudes — it was very boring —
3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers has
a surface modeling tool that allows you to be an
artist … it’s so fast, no waiting for it to calculate …
the software adapts to me!”
Jason is a 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS
advocate and avid proponent of 3DEXPERIENCE
SOLIDWORKS for Makers. He operates Jason
Pohl LLC from an elaborate home workshop,
where he continually involves his four children in
his DIY projects. See Jason’s work at @pohlie on
