Viet's Object Designs

For this project, we were given the task to craft a self-supporting object using concept designs molded by the bend, twist, taper, and/or stretch tool. It was a great pleasure working with Jenna on this project! These are the 6 concepts that I came up with when playing around with Rhino using the loft, twist, taper, stretch, and bend tools.  We have decided to incorporate Jenna's octagonal tubes with my snail-like design.   To help us visualize the final product, we drew some concept sketches.  We ran into some issues in the simulation phase before printing so we had to trim some parts. This is what it looks like before printing.  The final product is a fusion between the arcs and tube-like structures from our original concepts.  

Introducing WackDonalds, the worst fast food brand in town. WcDonalds, as you may have guessed, is McDonalds but upside down. For the final product, I have upscaled and added additional features on the lid. Soft drink from multiple viewpoints: Individual components: I added the buttons that are pressed when ordering a drink and the cross for the straw to enter. These are the parts for printing:

  Papercraft Objects: First Prototype For this project, I have decided to work towards a drink cup to reminisce all the times I went out drinking (I don't drink alcohol) with my friends. In the final, I would like to add a logo and another element to complement the cup.  First, I start of with a completed form in Rhino.  Next I unroll the individual components that I will use in the prototype which  includes the cup base and lid but the straw (similar form to the base) will be in the final creation. Finally before printing, I set it to PDF mode.  Here is what it looks like after cutting, scoring, and folding. Now here is the prototype after gluing.

In this assignment, we are tasked to create and unfold objects in Rhino. The objects are based on ordinary household items and belongings.  1. Desk lamp 2. Camera 3. Pen 4. Ironer  5. Scooter 6. Electric Guitar 7. Saucepan 8. Key and lock
