When I think of a flashlight, I think of an object that
releases light. I wanted my sleeve to
compliment my flashlight so I decided to create a lighthouse design. A lighthouse is a structure designed to
produce light from a system of lamps and lenses to help sailors navigate
waterways.
While creating this sleeve for my LED flashlight, I used
various techniques such as Boolean difference, array polar (360) and curve
Boolean. First, I created a flat curve where
I joined curves and eliminated unwanted curves.
Next, I added the circular and square holes that penetrated completely
through the figure by creating multiple copies by using the array polar
command. Then, I referenced the center
point of the figure, added the number of duplicates and accepted the update by
pressing enter.
I used various materials in Keyshot to bring my design to
life. Some of the materials used were wood, plastic, metal and glass. I was also very
strategic in the choice of my color since I wanted the sleeve to resemble a lighthouse.
