Dong lak (Derek) Han | Slide Box |13weeks

I made a box with sliding door.

Door is flexible and there are rails for the door inside of box.

and I used candle on the rail for lubrication.

to flexible door, lots lines and square holes are used.

Renae Patoskie Week 8: Serial Slices

For the Serial Slices project I was inspired by the texture possibilities.

This technique has been used to create ambiguous, resemble contour mapping, or simply visual textures. I wanted to apply this visual texture into a common place object.

My goal was to create a similar texture to the one featured in the figure on the left, while creating a visually pleasing bowl inspired by the figure on the right.

To create this model, I created a series of 6 curves using the sketch tool. I then aligned the three surface points so that the bowl would be sufficiently balanced. I then lofted between the curves to create the outside surface. I then duplicated the surface, offset it above the outside surface and then sheared off the excess to create a flat edge on the top using the trim tool. I then used sweep two rails to create a surface between the inner and outer surfaces.

Due to the non-uniform thin outlines, it took 3 sheets of 24"x 48" mdf to print this project.

Chloe Ferris & Nathan Bower: Final Project Chess Piece

When we grouped up together, we started looking at different inspirations for our chess piece. When searching we found a very interesting, modern set that we wanted to recreate. We chose the bishop from this set, as we both felt it was the most interesting and aesthetically pleasing, as well as being achievable within the scope of this project.

Chess Piece Inspiration

Nathan created the model for the bishop in Maya, since it was going to have to be a polygonal model in the end anyways. He made sure to try to keep the polygon count very low, so the piece would be easy to assemble. I took this exported OBJ and loaded up into the Pepakura Designer to create the flat sheet that we would need to recreate the piece in 3D. I tried to make the cuts on the model in places that would allow easy access to the entire piece during assembly to the best of my ability, so it would not turn into a huge hassle later. Then, I took these cut pieces and arranged them as close as possible on the sheets, and exported the sheets out to be sent to Rhino. Once there, I used the Grasshopper script to create dash and dot-dash lines for the valley and mountain folds on each piece.

Cut Sheet From Rhino

After printing, we constructed the chess piece using Loctite to hold it together. The piece was pretty easy to assemble. We started by making the square base first, then adding each side for the middle part. We then assembled the head separately and attached it to the main body, then added the top piece.

Denise Lion- Week 12 Box

 Night light

I used box Maker generator to create a template. I wanted to make a night light that is soft and mimics a candle light. I used adobe illustrator to clean my silhouette than I exported to Rhino to lay out and get ready for laser cut.

I used black MDF for a different look I made 2 boxes out of 28X48.

Stay tuned for the second night light.

 I designed a very simple nightlight , I wanted straight lines and minimalistic functional nightlight for my dad's bedroom, he's a navy guy and love sailboats. he comes to visit me every year for 4 month from Brazil, and I always have a navy surprise for him in his room.

Pierre Shepherd Box

I decided to make something to take back home for decoration, so I made the inspiration of my box my fraternity and the chapter of the fraternity I was initiated. I color coordinated everything to its  part and traced and image on illustrator and exported it.

Roman Hunt Week 12 Box

I used the box project as an opportunity to experiment with a number of different styles. Each of the six faces has its own design; some are abstract, others fairly literal. Most are defined by the material remaining on the face, though the sun/moon design is defined by what is subtracted. All of the designs were made by creating and editing curves in Rhino. Tools used most notably include the CurveBoolean and ArrayPolar commands.

Pierre Shepherd AchitectonicLamp

The original shape of this lamp is a solid paraboloid, I shape it to my desire then trimmed the top to give it the chipped after. Then I used boolean difference with a cylinder to give space for the lamp. I decided to use a tea light lamp so i adjusted the bottom surface to match the light's diameter.

Pierre Shepherd Unfold

Starting out this project I went back to the basics using Professor Scoot's tutorial videos for reference. I did all the gritty work in Adobe Illustrator CS6 then transferred it back to rhino for the final clean up.

Jake Lenzen - Waffle Structure

For this project I wanted to experiment with the limits of the waffle structure. I wanted to create a shape with more than one layer, such that every slice was not touching every other slice. For this I took inspiration from the shape of water after a something, such as a rain droplet, falls into it.

Modeling this portion was fairly simple. I created a curve with the shape I wanted and revolved it 360 degrees. I had a bit of trouble when selecting curves to cut the slots on the project, several times it wouldn't use a few of the contours, but after some tinkering I got it to work.

Jenna Bastian: Week 12 Fox Box

For this project, I used the BoxMaker generator to create a box template with dimensions 23 x 6 x 9 inches. The box is sized so I can store my manga in it. I made the height a bit taller for the ones that are sized differently (Dragon Ball and Star Wars manga). I decided to do an elegant, wind theme with a fox. 

I used the BoxMaker to create the sides of the box. I then went into Adobe Photoshop and used the pen tool to create the swirls and fox shapes, and exported those paths as an Adobe Illustrator file. Then I imported those into Rhino 3D. The blue parts will be cut out, and the red will be engraved onto the 1-ply cardboard. For the cover, I made a slot so I can fit and use a "key" made for the box to open it more easily. 

Assembling the fox box was quite simple. I applied super glue to the slots and fit it quickly to the other edges. I left the top lid unglued and fit the "handle" inside the middle. This will probably hold objects of low weight so the bottom won't fall off. I'm probably going to glue the cut out fox on the back of the box.

Jake Lenzen - Serial Slices

For this project, I wanted to create an object from a video game. One shape that seemed particularly interesting was the Fierce Deity Sword from the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. The curving blade seemed like it would be easy to make with 2 strips of cardboard, while still retaining the shape that makes it iconic.

Modeling this project was fairly simple. The hilt has a straight forward cylindrical shape, though I got the scale slightly wrong. The blade I made by tracing a curve over an image of the sword. I created planes from those curves and extruded them to 0.25 thickness, then positioned them along the hilt. I used the boolean difference command to create slots for the blade to rest in, to make the attachment more secure. I then unrolled the project and fit it onto a cardboard sheet. The model turned out well, though I think I should have provided even more room for the blade to slide in, as it still wiggles a bit.
