Club Speaker
For the CADD 285 Advanced Inventor term project, we were provided models for the internal electric components of a speaker, and instructed to design a housing of at least two parts. The requirements included use of the plastic parts tools to include the lip, ribs, bosses, and draft. We then created a file package including the technical drawings for the parts we designed, the assembly, exploded assembly with BOM, and renderings. I wanted to challenge myself with a non typical shape, and as I am a fan of circus arts, I decided to model a club.
Frame Generator
I made this version of Metatron’s cube using the frame generator. Metatrons cube is a two dimensional geometry which contains an isometric view of each platonic solid. For this project, I wanted to capture the straight lines of the traditional two dimensional image when viewed in the isometric view, while keeping the end three dimensional object a cube. This is what I landed on.
Hall Tree
The focus for this project was robust parametric design. This hall tree was modeled as a multi body part with extensive use of parameters, patterns, and equations, with the inclusion of an ilogic form to control it rather than creating a series of model states. By changing the overall dimensions or number of seats the entire model, including the interior support frame, adjusts to accommodate.
Neon Sign
This neon sign project focused on routing sweeps using 3d sketches, while also scaling and tracing a sketch image for reference. This was done by first importing an image into a sketch, scaling it to the desired size, then using lines, arcs, and splines to trace our desired sign. A plane for the back side of the sign was then created, and the pathing planned by projecting the points where the neon would change planes. A 3d sketch was then used to create the path, including all bends to make the path viable. The goal was to create a single sweep with no kinks. I also included a model state with a solid backing on which to decal the original image. Our instructor informed us that this is a vital skill in planning wiring paths and required lengths.
