Reversed Engineered Model Choices

 For this project we have to find an object from daily life and recreate it as a 3D model in Rhino. I have chosen three different objects that I believe I could recreate, a flower hair clip, a pen, and a mini flashlight.  


This is the hair clip. Its only got four parts, the flower, the bottom part of the clip, the pin, and a spring. I think it would be easy enough to model the pin and the spring, but with my current skills I think trying to render the flower and bottom of the clip would be a bit of a challenge. 


This is the pen. I think it could be interesting to figure out how the pieces all go together. There would also be a bit of a challenge with the curve of the body and the grip. 


Here's the mini flashlight. This object is the one I'm leaning more towards for the project. It has some simple cylinder shapes that I could easily rendered. But I think it would be interesting to try to render the clip, and the spring on the inside of the flashlight.

The final stretch

 We're almost done the group project :). We cut out and sanded the bench pieces and cut out part of the pieces for the shelves. It was a little trail and error with the tabs and sizing for the shelves but after making some adjustments in grasshopper and rhino we were able to get it done. It took a few hours for the tabs and holes because I did them partly in rhino and partly in grasshopper. I manually placed all the holes for the interior corners and adjusted the sizes to fit the thickness of the wood in rhino. Then I took the pieces into grasshopper and adjusted the thickness. It took a bit of time for it to load because of all the pieces. Thanks to Jess for making the tab grasshopper and Daniela for double checking my work.  The nested shelving unit. Daniela added some channels for the eventual addition of tables.  My edits to the grasshopper, changed the thickness and brepped the shapes from the rhino adjustments.  For some reason the list item didn't wanna work for the corn

glitched coffee table furniture design

 So my plan changed from the footstool as I was having trouble making soft edges and rotating the pockets to face outwards rather than just up. so I changed gears and instead made a coffee table with randomly generated cubes to form the top of it. the legs and and cubes are fully adjustable with the design.  I was inspired to make it look like a glitch because its fun to blend the digital realm and reality together. It  would also make an interesting statement piece. Though maybe not for a house with children because of all the sharp corners.  Its not often that you see furniture trying to escape its own form. This statement coffee table could be found in any modern or Avant guard living room.  In reality I see this piece being made out of wood or molded plastic.  Here is a scale view and the glitched coffee table by itself Here it is in a plastic material and an animation of the tabletop and the grasshopper definition
