🏅 Design and Manufacture of Medals 🏅

Guess what? 📢

With three of my trail running friends, we challenged ourselves to complete the "Tour du Mont-Blanc" in just 4 days. In a few numbers:

🗺️ 3 countries: France, Italy, Switzerland 

👣 170K

🏔️ 10 000m D+/D-


You will probably say to yourself that we are crazy... I want to tell you that you are not totally wrong, but we are a little less than some 😜 Just look at the following link which will send you back to the UTMB race page 👀

Managing the Fablab of the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab for my end-study internship, I decided to design and manufacture medals to keep a memory of our challenge. Thanks to the Part Design application, I realized a simple sketch. Drawing must be done to export design as svg file.

I reassure you, as for the mountain in the background, I just found a royalty-free image 😃


Then, using Inkscape, I connected the dots (for each corner 😵) to create closed profiles. Without this, the laser cutter software will not be able to engrave the script 😓

The final step was to make them using the Glowforge laser cutter. Below is the result... 🧐

Now, place to the challenge... the countdown is on... 20 days left... ⏳😄
