Wooden Spoon in Salome-Platform

Image
Here is my model of a wooden spoon. The spoon and the handle was made using operation "revolution." The spoon was then cut in half using operation "partition." Operation "scale" was used to achieve a desirable shape. Then a wire was created inside the spoon. That is where the bowl would be. The wire was revolved 360 degrees around the X-axis using operation "revolution." Operation "cut" was used to cut the bowl in the spoon. The spoon was cut at one end to get rid of corners. Here is the spoon in 3D.

Spoon Model in Salome-Platform

Image
Here is my model of a spoon. Designing Process 1) Design top and side view of the spoon in DraftSight. Then go to Salome and import the spoon. 2) Draw arcs and use operation "fillet" to create the bowl. 3) Create face where the bowl meets the handle. 4) Use operation "extrusion along path" to make handle. To get the desired shape, using operation "partition." (Extrude wire of the handle in top view, and use it as tool object.) 5) If the thickness of the pipe is not constant, explode the pipe into faces and use the bottom faces of the spoon to create a smooth face. Use operation "extrusion" to create constant thickness. During the making of 3D model, the bowl and the handle could not fuse correctly. The problem was fixed by using operation "partition" to create opening around the defected area between bowl and handle. Operation "filling" was used to create faces in the opening. These faces were built int...

Star Models in Salome-Platform

Image
Here is my models of a Texas star and a Christmas tree star. The state was made using operation "extrusion". One part of the star was made using operation "relative point." Then the part was copied around the Z-axis using operation "multi-translate." The star was then translated down so that operation "fuse" could be used. The Christmas star was made by importing the Texas star and using operation "mirror" to copy it. The base was made using a cone.

Passport Bag in Salome-Platforom

Image
Here is my model of a passport bag. This bag is designed for passports, and is meant to hang on the neck. The bag can be tied around the neck by a ribbon or belt that passes through the two nooses. The cap fits and locks the bag using corresponding grooves on the bag and dips in the cap. (See picture 6.) The notches on the  sides of the cap are to provide friction. The bag will be made out of plastic, so the notches will make the surface less slippery. This bag will be made using a 3D printer. The most important consideration while designing the box was security. In order for the box to be secure, the cap is made 0.1 mm smaller than the bag. This will allow the cap to tightly fit over the bag. Also the cap has dips that will lock with the grooves on the bag. This design requires small amount of force to open the cap, and will provide maximum security for the contents. Because the cap is smaller than the bag, chamfers are required. The chamfers will allow the cap to bette...

Signet Ring in Salome-Platform (Version 2)

Image
Your browser does not support iframes.  Here is a second model of a signet ring. Create sphere. Partition sphere to get two solids. Scale one solid along the X axis. (The object will look like an egg.) Fuse the two solids and then use operation partition to create a place for the seal. Cut hole in the object using cylinder. Create smooth curve by cutting the ring with two large cylinders. Fillet the edges. Design seal in DraftSight. Import seal design and extrude it to create a solid. Create a box and cut the design into the box using operation cut. Partition the box so that only the seal will remain. Use operation translate to fit the seal on the ring. Use operation scale to give the ring appropriate size.

Signet Seal Ring in Salome-Platform

Image
Here is a model of a signet seal ring. Create two circles Partition both circles and then scale the outer circle. Create face and then partition it. Extrude one face higher than the other. Create two cylinders and use it to cut the bigger extrusion. The result will be a curved ring. Fillet the edges to make the ring smoother.  Design seal in DraftSight and import it to Salome. Build face in the design and then extrude it to create a solid seal. Place the seal on the ring and use partition to create a single body. Scale the ring in meters. Export in IGS.

Guitar Bar in Salome-Platform

Image
Here is the corrected model of the guitar bar. General Information The bar is shaped like a guitar.  The roof is curved and slanted so that the guitar will face the street. The strings will have running lights attached, so that the features will be visible at night. The bar contains two bar rooms, two restrooms, and a worker's area with its own bathroom.  The main bar room contains a long bar stand, stage, a dance floor, and tables. The smaller bar room is designed for customers who do not want to listen to music, and contains tables and a small bar stand. Because of the tall back wall, the building has a great amount of unused space above the bar. A second floor would utilize the unused space, but is too complex to build right now. Occupant Load Occupant load of the main bar-102 occupants Occupant load of the small bar-28 occupants The main bar needs automatic sprinklers to be installed because the occupant load is greater than 100....

Bottle Made by Filling

Image
Here is a model of a bottle in Salome. This bottle was made using operation Filling. This operation creates faces between edges. Operation scale was used to create thickness of the bottle. The open area between the two shells had to be closed in order for the object to have volume. Your browser does not support iframes.
