This is my first article on this blog where I have designed 1.5 Liter plastic Mug which we are using in our house.I am working on Solidworks since my college. There are a lot of ways on modeling this Mug. I have modeled this with the help of Surfacing and Modeling. The below picture shows the original and 3D model designed in Solidworks 2010.
