Custom manufacturing

Project Instructions

Overview: 

Recently the Cambridge Design Partnerships created a steering wheel the Bloodhound supersonic car custom fitted to the driver’s hands. Using the 3D scanner and modeling clay you will create a custom grip for a device of your choice.

Problem Statement:

Using the Sol 3D scanner you will create an object with custom grip fitted for your own hands and 3D print them.

Problem Description:

You must an 3D print object you could use that would benefit from a custom grip. Using modeling clay create an imprint of your grip, scan and import it into Onshape, modify it into an ergonomic piece, and 3D print it. The example given is handlebars, but other ideas include video game controllers, computer mouse, or other ideas you may have. If the object is not a bicycle handle please run it by the teacher before going further to make sure the idea is appropriate.

Requirements: 

• Final product must be molded to the shape of your hands

• Must use 3D printers to create your final product

• Final product is neat and lacks rough edges

Material:

• Modeling clay

• PLA
