Rev. Eng Rendered and Exploded

 Wow. The whole process of digital fabrication is a big challenge for me. I like to get my hands dirty but this is like tying hands behind my back and relaying my process to a 3rd party for them to follow. 

Alright.

This week I spent finishing up a reverse engineered model of a pencil sharpener. I took measurements with a digital caliper and translated real materiality into Rhino. I am very aware of my efficiency during modelling, A project that is likely done in an hour by experienced users took me around 9 hrs. My big problems included rogue surfaces, camera orientation, light management and hidden tools. 

Safely on the other side, I have learned a great deal about approaching a 3D digital model.
