Cellphone Simulation

Here is just something I banged out as an excercise in derived modeling. A single solid shape defines the object, and all of the actual components (top shell, bottom shell, screen, etc.) are derived from the single solid. If you have a fast connection, here is the Solidworks File (11 megs).

Norelco Experiment

Another bit of consumer product modeling, here is my electric shaver. To see how it was done, download the solidworks file (~6megs).

A design concept for an interlocking plastic part that could be used to create spherical, saddle, and planar surfaces.

A business card holder I designed and machined.

Spaaaaaace Tank

This was for a miniature sci-fi wargame I play that was out of print. I projected some photos of a model, color retouched them, and wrapped them onto a 3D model. I used some fun Japanese software to unfold the model and preserve the texture maps. Here are the instructions if you want to build your own.

Remember on Superfriends that their enemies, the Legion of Doom, lived in a submersible hidden fortress called the Hall of Doom? I found out their current location, look at this picture I took in Fairfield, CA.
