DESIGN &FABRICATION PROCESS
DESIGN
3D modeled on Solidworks
Rendered on Keyshot
FABRICATION
3D printed FDM thermoplastics (x18)
Clear casing - vacuum formed (x1)
Plastic material was chosen over powder material for 3D printing
due to the delicate and thin design of some of its parts. I wanted it
to be as durable as possible to avoid breakage. The rough and
imperfect textures of the 3D print quality had to be sanded off and
5 rounds of priming and sanding again in order to achieve a
smooth surface.
