Final Cat Hook Model

Image
After the creation of the concept model for the cat-shaped hook, I created a new model with 3D printing in mind, basically refining the previous model, polishing some rough edges and scaling it accordingly. The first model was actually miniscule for some reason, so the first thing I did was scale it to fit how I wanted the size of the final print to be in real life. Then, I worked on reshaping the tail and aligning certain parts of the body, using some surface modeling in the process. I made a second hole on the back so that the hook could be better attached to walls, and also changed the shape of the hole itself so that a screw could better fit through it and support the model. Through surface modeling, I accidentally created a gap in the middle of the new model, so I fixed that too. After the model was finished, I separated the whiskers from the body so that no support materials would be needed in order to print them. Instead, I planned on gluing them to the body after the print was ...

Laser-cut Paper Vessel Model: The Coffee Pot

Image
For the next step, we made a model in Rhino for how the coffee pot would be based on our sketches. Here is the top part, made by Talia: Here is the complete coffee pot model, after I made the bottom and changed the lid: The lid comes off so that we can store coffee beans inside, and the top part also comes off to create a second compartment—maybe to store a different kind of coffee beans or even sugar. After the model was complete, we disassembled all the individual parts and used the commands Explode and Rotate3D to flatten them.  After this, we added tabs to the flattened surfaces and recolored the lines for the laser cutter to recognize which areas to cut completely or partially. After this, we printed off the final version with the laser cutter and assembled it.

Coat Hook Concepts

Image
 Concept 1: For this concept, I had to add more details in comparison to the other ones, as it is more difficult to understand on paper. I also made a second, more complex version (shown at the top right of the image). I was going for something following a checkered retro style, and ended up adding some extra parts in order to give it structure and actually connect all of its parts. Due to it being hollow on the back (as illustrated), it would be easy to hang on a wall. Concept 2: For this concept, I went for something playful, and can be used both as decoration and a hook. Perhaps it could even be placed next to an umbrella stand! I also experimented with different cover lengths, as seen above. Lastly, I added a hollow space on the back of the umbrella handle in order for it to be easily hung on a wall. Concept 3: For this concept, I was going for something minimalistic. Something that Gary Hustwit's film (Objectified) argues that is key in design, is for the design itself to not ...
