Paper Craft Prototype

Continuing the Rhino papercraft assignment from the Object Design class. I have finally printed off my object!

I did however have to fix my object's design before printing, this was due to my original object being too small to construct something with.

the new objects are mostly resized versions of my original object, however, the mouthpiece got redesigned to be closer to the size and shape of a real mouthpiece.

With that, I made 2D templates, made tabs for my object, printed out the object, then finally constructed my object together to make my first prototype. 

I have forgotten to make a few tabs in making the final version of the object. Surprisingly, the mouthpiece works very well, but the trombone itself doesn't work because it eventually allows too much of the air to escape. Design-wise, the mouthpiece barely fits into the Trombone, and the slide doesn't fit well into the object. I should redesign the object again for my final iteration of the object.

Until next time, stay well.

Rhino Paper Modeling

 Following the Rhino surface modelling lesson, the Object Design class was taught how to make flattened surfaces of our 3D objects into printable construction sheets.  The class was taught how to make our surfaces into 2D vectors, how to make flaps so that we could use them to glue our objects together, and how to print our object on Rhino.  From the way flaps are made in Rhino, I noticed that flaps are not that strong, and can easily break if there is too much stress on those parts. I decided that I would redesign my object so that each connection point is more secure. I decided to make the object closer to the octagon shape like the mouthpiece and made the joining points of the tubes at a 45-degree angle. After this, I added the flaps to each of my objects, then printed it out for the next class One thing I didn't notice while I was modelling in Rhino was that I didn't know that the objects were smaller than what I expected. I would like to try making to trombone lager, and e

               In Object Design course at AUArts, I watched a documentary called Objectified by Gary Hurwitz. The video talked about the process in which objects are made, the range of common objects like toothbrushes, to more elaborate computers and smart devices. The documentary can be considered mundane because people are both used to common objects and not giving much thought to them. However, the thoughts, philosophies, and elaborate brainstorming that each designer in the documentary show are constructed deeply and have a resonating impact. Each object's design is given special care to make people's life convenient and appeal to their aesthetic sense. These objects leave a mark on the world and show a part of their designer to everyone who uses it.  Although it wasn't necessary for the assignment, I decided to start with some sketches and brainstorming. I was inspired by Naoto Fukasawa, one of the designers in Objectified . He explains about interaction design that th
