Hollow Spider Tower

 Hollow Spider Tower 

This decorative hollow structure was created by bending and twisting extruded columns, which were then copied in a circular path and finally joined using Boolean Union on Rhino. This resulted in the closed solid polysurface, as shown below. Multiple columns were copied and arranged circularly to ensure the structure was self-supporting. Although the top of the structure protrudes at an outward angle, the taller, vertically angled base and a solid top should allow for the top portion to be printed stably. To ensure that the structure is additionally stable, a second perimeter, along with the solid top, was recommended during feedback.  

Furthermore, during feedback, recommendations were provided that the structure could be enlarged from 50mm x 50mm to a larger size, which eventually led to the structure being adjusted to around 80mm x 80mm.

Llama Package Design Concept

Item Chosen For Packaging  To begin creating a unique package, our team brainstormed ideas for items that could act as the product or content of the package. From there, we considered what packages would best suit this item. Below is an image of the object chosen by our group, a miniature Llama. Our team member KK photographed the item alongside a ruler to better understand the llama's size.  Designs for Package While discussing package design ideas, our team member OZ created the preliminary sketches for the package. The sketch was inspired by a llama package that would "give birth" to the miniature llama in the picture above. Images of llama pinata designs inspired the outside of the llama package. The back portion of the llama is a detachable piece that can be pulled out and holds the miniature llama. The interior of the package would have anatomical drawings of the female llama's reproductive organs, as well as paper structures attached to give the impression of a...

Coat Hook Without Installation

When envisioning the perfect coat hook, ideally, it would require little to no installation without needing to drill a hole into the wall. So, I have focused on some designs of coat hooks that can be either self-supporting or can be hung on existing fixtures or structures in one's household.    Here, I designed a tree-inspired coat hook stand with a sturdy base and multiple hook options. Users can hook their coat directly on the "curved branches" of the stand, or they can attach the additional hooks to the bottom curvature of the "branches" for additional storage using hangers or the additional hooks themselves. There are upper protrusions at the top of the stand to hang hats or smaller articles of clothing. This coat stand has hooks attached to a revolving top structure that allows the user to effortlessly spin for easy removal and storage of their coats while avoiding any overlapping of coats and having coats falling over when the rack gets too full. There is ...
