OBDF 110D- Assignment #3: Hollow Design

 

Model 1: This model is built after the Stephen Ave statues that are lined across the streets in downtown Calgary. I used the twist and stretch command in order to achieve the curl at the top. I wanted it to stand up like a building would and have the hollowness in the inside and the structures as well. 


Model 2: My inspiration for this model was after a bird cage. I admire the lattice that it possess and the twisting design makes it look almost like a waterfall. My process to achieve this model was to create a dome, slice it in half and used rails. Then I applied the twist command and lastly the taper command to create a rounded shape at the top.


Model #3: Since it is the beginning of the fall season, this was inspired by a pumpkin or a squash. My process was to create a star polygon shape at the bottom and used loft and extrudecrv to achieve the rounded shape. Lastly, I added the twist function to add a swirl like pattern. 
Model #4: This particular model was making it closely to a sculpture. In my art history class, we examined different sculptures around the world and I thought I could apply them in this class as well. I wanted depth and shadow to run along the sides of the model and create a vase like shape. 

Model #5: In this concept design, I imagined it to be like a dress. My process was to create a swirl-like polygon shape and extruded it. From there I used the twist and taper function to form it's final shape. 

Model #6: For my final concept, I wanted it to resemble a basket of flowers. I wanted the outside to have a plain regular shape, and in contrast, the inside be full of lines (or petals) that form all around. In order to achieve this, I made a polygon shape and used the extrude command. Then, I mirrored it's shape until it formed a circular form. Lastly, I used the taper command to create its final shape.

Project 4 3D Printed Hollow Form Object

Image
Step 1: My first step in the process to create my hollow form object was to create a circle with filleted edges to make it a more rounder shape. This was done by using the star point command and then using the fillet edges command.  Step 2: Next I proceeded to create a pointed edge on the top to make it a dome like figure. I used the rail revolve command to achieve this form. Then, I slightly stretched the object to elongate the form.  Step 3: I think mirrored the object in order to create a hourglass-like figure. This step I also used the Boolean Union command to join these two objects together and then the twist command to create its twist like pattern.  Step 4: Lastly, I used the taper command to taper just around the top to create a vase-like form.  Step 5: This is the final form on the Prusa Sli3er. In terms of the settings, I will use:  a) Spiral Toolpath  b) Single Perimeter  c) No solid layer for both top and bottom  Final Thoughts: From t...

Project 6: The Coat Hook Rough Concept

Image
  Cat Peekaboo Hook          I chose my 2nd concept for my coat hook project. I wanted to keep the whimsical atmosphere with my hook but also be useful for coats/jackets or any item. I did change some aspects when it came to my 3D model. For instance, I only just included the head and it has a pole that extends through the end which is slightly tilted upwards. Plus, it has a knob at the end so that garments do not just slip off (because that is the absolute worst!!). The entire model will be solid and I imagine it being drilled agaist the wall along the four edges of the square.  My Rankings from my previous concepts: 1. Cat Hook  2. Mushrooms  3. Curly Tops  4. Telephone Dial  5. Sun & Moon 6. Abstract Points

Project 8: Laser Cut Vessel

Image
 Cassette Player Vessel In our group, we came up with the idea of a cassette player vessel. We wanted it to be openable and be able to insert cassettes inside and be able to organize them. The front will be the retro cassette player design with a front slot that can store a single cassette. We are still deciding whether or not to add a handle that can go up and down so that it can be portable. As a group, we wanted this vessel to be openable, so there will be a lid that will be attached (somewhat like a book). Overall, we wanted to focus on the retro aspect and make it compact and simple, while being useful to store a variety of cassettes.
