This page contains the computer-aided design (CAD) files that were used to create our various design considerations. These considerations include the basic circular shape from which the whale and penguin designs were created, as well as the abstract trays in the shape of a butterfly and a vehicle. Throughout the project, the penguin and vehicle shapes were deemed to be the most successful and were improved throughout various revisions until final designs were produced.
The primary 3D CAD modeling software which was utilized throughout the course of this project was SolidWorks. SolidWorks is a powerful 3D design solution that allows for for rapid creation or modeling of parts, assemblies and 2D drawings. The specific tools utilized for this project were SolidWorks software add-ins for surfacing, mold tools, photo realistic rendering, and more.
