Reversed Engineered Object: Selection

 Reversed Engineered Object: Selection

October 12, 2020

The Reverse Engineered Object project is where we choose a mechanical object that is dissectable, then we must measure all of the different parts used to make up the assembly using a digital caliper. There must be no weapons of any kind and the object must be complex enough to complete in three weeks.

Hole Puncher: I chose this hole puncher because of all the small details on the handle and the smaller amount parts compared to the others. I felt like this object would be the most challenging among the three listed here mainly due to the complexity of certain parts.

 


Mini Phone Tripod: I chose this mini tripod because it contains lots of components with interacting and moving parts. It is also small enough to be measured with the digital caliper easily. I felt like this would be a pretty interesting object to reverse engineer.

I honestly couldn't be bothered to have every single small detail dimensioned at this stage, so I just did as much as I could fit in those different views.

Mini Eyeshadow Palette: This eyeshadow palette is rather small and compact. There are around seven different parts to make the palette. I chose this as an object because I felt like even though it may be rather simple looking, there are a lot of small details that actually make the entire assembly work.




From these three objects, I would say that I am most likely to end up choosing the first object which is the Hole Puncher.





(Doing the proper dimensions and technical drawings of just one part of each of the three objects genuinely gave me war flashbacks to my high school days. Making the drawings on Inventor was much easier than making them by hand.)

Papercraft Final

Papercraft Object: Final Revision March 19, 2020 After speaking with Bryan I realized that I didn't actually need to make my actual fan completely three dimensional and that I could just place multiple pieces over each other so with that I started making an even more complicated template.  Bryan gave an extremely useful suggestion of making the actual fan inside a pinwheel so that it can actually spin which is something that a lot of people suggested adding to the final and so I chose to do that and got to work on the actual templates.  Here are the paper templates I made on Rhino, If we had to cut this out this by hand I would've most likely given up but the laser cutter is an actual lifesaver.  Here are some renders of what the final piece would look like, For the final piece, I wanted the fan to be able to actually stand, so I added coins in the bottom of the handle to be able to support the actual fan and I also included the st

[04.) BLOG POST(S): PARAMETRIC FURNITURE/STRUCTURE SCALE MODEL] Part 1

 Rocking Chair The title for this object is Fusion Rocking Chair. Based on the name you can assume that this rocking chair is a fusion of two different styles. My main inspiration for this piece is Filipino-style rocking chairs, specifically one that my grandfather owned. Then I chose to combine the technique of weaving into a Glasgow style chair similar to the ones designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Here are some sample images to show the basic concept I chose to work with: My intention for this project was just to make the most obscure piece of furniture I could think of and add my own spin to it through my knowledge of art movements and personal experiences. I felt like overall the concept is pretty unique as it is meant to be a furniture piece that can also pass off as an art piece. The long back mixed with the weaving style from the Filipino rocking chairs makes a somehow harmonious concept. This piece is meant for really anyone who has an interest in avant-garde pieces but I

Reversed Engineered Object: Progress II

 Reversed Engineered Object: Project II October 24, 2020 This week I finally managed to pull apart my entire object so I was finally able to get a close look at every small little detail without worrying about any small dimensions I couldn't get. This week I chose to do the second most challenging piece which is this contraption. And I also recreated the metal cylinder that holds everything together after realizing that it's actually two separate parts (ignore the tape I just used that so I can put it back together after finishing the project) Here's the progress on Rhino Part one is this top piece for the contraption shown above Part two is the actual hole puncher itself This is those first two parts put together Part three is the bottom piece of the contraption Here it is placed correctly with the other two parts The last part of this piece was the spiral And this is my final completed part The next piece I worked on was really quick and easy And here are all the parts th
