3D Design and Printing
A Logo
Tiffany was looking to personalize her custom pottery and ceramic art work with the logo she created. Using her image file, I traced the pattern in CAD and created a 3D model.
Turned into Stamp
Special attention is payed to the size of the elements in her logo to ensure proper printing. Some lines were made thicker to accomodate the print nozzle and material behavior. This was printed with PLA+
for Branding
I provided Tiffany two stamps with different depths of indentation. While not a complicated project, this saves Tiffany a ton of time and adds a personal touch to her artwork.
Motion and Animation
Often a design requires some visual aid to see if the components will do what you want them to do. This is easily done in Autodesk Inventor software using the right joints, relationships, and constraints to mimic real world behavior. Dynamic simulation and stress analysis is possible as well, by using known anticipated driving forces in the design.
Too much food
...was being meted out of this automatic cat feeder. The poor cat didn't know what do do with it all, so she ate all the food and surreptitiously vomited it out on a carpeted surface.
The only answer
...was to get rid of the cat. OR, modify the feeder to dispense less food. The latter option was more feasible so I adjusted the gaps in the 'cam' for food disbursement by about half.
After careful
...sanding and modifying the replacement parts, I was able to reinstall the new components in the automatic feeder. Now I enjoy less vomit on my carpeted surfaces.
