Description: This project was to design a soap mold for a soap dedicated to someone we appreciate, my class was given the option to use either Fusion 360 or Tinker CAD code blocks. I chose Fusion 360. The project must be 3X3 inches and 1.5 inch maximum, as well as symbolizing the person being gifted to.

Brainstorming: The first step of designing the soap is the brainstorming, where we draw our designs on procreate. I thought of dedicating my soap to my grandma, who has two dogs and loves to say the phrase, "Be Kind".

Original Drawing in Procreate
First Prototype
Second and last prototype product
Final Soap Bar
Prototypes: This project was trial and error meaning many prototypes. My first prototype's font was too small, and was also to tall coming off the base. For my second prototype/final product, I remodeled the text to make it larger in proportion, and shorter in height from the base. To create the soap design in the first place, I first brainstormed a design, then moved the png image of my sketch onto Fusion 360. Next, I used a tool to sketch the shape of the image and then extrude it to give it volume. I did this for every part of the design. After I was done, I printed the first prototype which had some modifications for aesthetic needed to be done, so I modified the design on Fusion. I scaled the size of the text to be larger, moved it so that the text would be more center, and shortened the height of the text from the base. Finally, I printed it, and the prototype was complete. After the final prototype had been printed, I used a putty-like substance to create a mold.

S- The strength of my work is the dog design, as it required intricate and detailed sketches for each part of the original brainstormed sketch. I was also able to work efficiently, finishing my final soap design quickly and in only the second prototype.

O- Some opportunities to improve are to make less sketches and more extrudes, making the edit process later on easier.

U- During this project, I learned how to use a specific tool in Fusion 360 to create really intricate sketches. I also understood how to create a mold with two putty-like substances to create a chemical reaction and harden it. I also learned how to print to a 3D printer, because I forgot the process.

L- I didn't really encounter any limitations except for the fact that the design was too complicated to do in TinkerCAD, which I am better at than Fusion 360.

WISCR: I think I applied the W in WISCR during this project. I was able to work efficiently, create a challenging design, finish my final soap design on just the second prototype, and sketch the design onto Fusion 360. I learned a lot during this project and I feel like the end result is very good.
