I'm a fourth term product design student at Art Center in Pasadena. I post my work here. I also blog about my inspirations, have a portfolio and do some photography.
Solid Modelling
Moving along with my recap from last term, here are images from Solid Modelling. This course was the continuation of Rapid Prototyping, dealing mainly with the CAD software Solidworks. We started the course by practicing our Solidworks skills and replicating the inner workings of the Team Losi Mini T remote-controlled car.
Recreating hundreds of small parts in accurate detail took us some time but eventually we got quite good with the program.
Once we had understood both Solidworks and the mechanics of a remote-controlled car we starting making our own. Our car was to be created in Solidworks and fabricated using only rapid-prototyping methods.
I focused on making mine lightweight and easy to control. Starch or plaster 3d printers tend to create rather heavy prototypes so I focused on creating parts for the laser cutter. I was very pleased with the final result, it drove very well and the instructor chose it for the school gallery! (Picture pending!)
Our final exercises were in learning how to render our 3-dimensional creations and create exploded views such as this one.
