As a child, Ridvan was fascinated with the inner workings of cars and would draw various mechanisms with paper and pencil. He was first exposed to SOLIDWORKS as a high schooler, and discovered a new way to manifest the objects that would form in his mind, or as he so eloquently puts it: “SOLIDWORKS is a reflection of my imagination!”

–Ridvan Polat, SOLIDWORKS Champion, maker. From Make Magazine

Downey and his fellow SOLIDWORKS Champions celebrated the launch of [3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers] with a SOLIDWORKS-sponsored collaboration on a Magic Wheelchair build for George, a UK youth with spinal muscular atrophy…The group designed a Ninjago®-inspired dragon that George can ride in, complete with articulating wings. “When he told us he wanted something Lego-themed, I was like ‘Yes!’” says Downey. “George was blown away by it.”
