Cool Things You've made in CAD

Silenceisbliss

Made this in Proengineer Wildfire as a project in Uni. All mechanisms work and it goes like a trooper!

Silenceisbliss

c'mon, surley some of ye must have made something half decent?!

ah, only work in 2D here, i doubt people would be as impressed by my fantastic plans or RC detailing...

Thats well impressive SIB.

Damn you engineers and your fancy projects.

That is impressive.

My favourite design would have to be this polished Cast Iron front frame I designed years ago at work.

Alot of surfacing work. This picture doesnt do it justice as there are alot of curved funky surfaces.

What programme did ye both use to generate these pictures.

I used Pro Engineer Wildfire for the CAD work. I have no need for photoshop work in my field so that is a simple JPEG of the 3D model...

I think we've discovered a dual account have we silenceiabliss?

Silenceisbliss posted a reply to this thread under a different screen name (accidentally I presume) but deleted it before anyone seen it. He wouldn't have been spotted at all if it wasn't for those pesky emails.

It's not against any rules on boards so I guess we should just leave it at that so

Silenceisbliss

oh righty so, anywho I used wildfire 3.0 also. legend of a program!

Im quite proud of these:



Done for a 2nd year college project, it was a real eye opener to what can be achieved with 3D cad, learned a lot doing this project.

Nothing great compared to the op's work, really nice!

I've just realized I know nothing about CAD! Very impressive

Topclass pics, very impressive..... and I was so happy this week with my latest Sketchup7 model!:D

Silenceisbliss

Thats very cool Jozi!, nice and elegant looking, I love how the program rendered the glass!

Show off!:P

Impressive stuff, the surface texturing really makes the difference. I never learned how to do that with solidworks. I have none of my old project to post up right now, i remember we designed a replacement knee joint that was nice. I will have a look. But its nothing compared to the a few of these models!

Claasman

was part of the team that modeled this...

Awesome fair play.
Thats they type of stuff id love to be able to do someday.

What college course was that?

Architectural Technology in DIT. It wasn't specifically part of the course that we had to use CAD. Project was to do a 3D model of a landmark building/structure in what ever package we wanted.

Did you stick with AutoCad or go with Viz?

Thats all CAD. I meant to learn Vis but never got around to it. I think the year ahead of us had to use Vis for a project but sketchup kinda took over (I can't use it, not to the extent I can use CAD).

Mellor

Yeah, we did Viz in 3rd year, I'm not a huge fan. Its more technical than Cad, but Cad allows alot more "freehand" type 3d. Not to the extent that sketch up does though.

IIt was suggested I move this over from another thread.

John Pawson is one of the most influential architects of recent times. Famous for his rigorously minimal style, he has worked on projects as wide-ranging as Calvin Klein’s flagship store in Manhattan and a new Cistercian monastery in Bohemia, Czech Republic. He has published numerous books, including the best selling Minimum.

I am a big fan of John Pawson, he is from my home town of Halifax in UK as well!. This is my personal study of Tetsuka House. Just for fun!

I created these images using 3D Studio Max 2009, Vray, Photoshop

Made this in college about 6 months ago with a team on wildfire 3, did all the body and rotor assembly myself. Got my hands on wildfire 4 recently but don't really have any project to work on.

Can't upload quality pictures cause there too big

currently working on a model of a super nintendo so I can design a cabinet to put it in, unemployment doesn't suite me. I'll post up the snes when its done

Thats quite impressive. Whats the background music? I've often heard it but dont know its name. I take it Pro Eng is softwareof choice in Limerick U

Ah Lux aeterna, got it.

Snesfan

its requiem for a dream, dont know how to spell it though, its in alot of adverts and things like that, War was the other option of song for the vid but we went with that in the end

This is a design I did a few years ago. The CAD work is pretty basic but the concept is cool. The picture illustrate how a single Braille cell can be used to display a line of Braille of any length, to the best of my knowledge there is nothing like this on the market at the moment. Present Braille displays cost thousands and most blind people cannot afford them as most blind people are unemployed.
IBM tried to design something similar years before but they tried a different approach that didnt work.

IBM had an interesting idea. They took a Braille module, one six-dot Braille display and said, well, if you have one of those, why not put it on a slider, and, as you slide it, it moves the display as if you had a long line of eighty characters. That really did seem like a good idea, but again it didn't pan out. The problem is that your finger isn't moving across the Braille; your finger is sitting on a display of six dots; and, as you move the slider and hit a certain point, it switches to the next character, and your finger feels the next character. We all know now that Braille isn't read that way. Braille is read by brushing your finger across the pins or across the surface of the Braille page. The brushing is much more useful to the sense of touch. So, while the idea IBM had was good, it also didn't work well.

“Refreshable Braille Now and in the Years Ahead”. http://www.nfb.org/Images/nfb/Publications/bm/bm00/bm0001/bm000110.htm on 26/10/2005

This design allows for a cheap braille display that could be put on the market for less than €1k and that would give a good percentage of profit to the manufacturer.

It is estimated that the production cost per dot, with the new technologies, is below €2. A Full page (128x64) is looking as though it will cost below €20,000 (Compare this to ~€ 10,000 Euro for an 80-character-Display with only 640 dots), giving much more comfort in handling and presenting much more information to the user than a single Braille-line ever could do.

Hey all,

My team and I just won the annual CAD competition in college earlier. thought id put up a few pics, very proud of her (the caterham 7 that is) alot of manhours, alot of lost sleep, stress, and LOTS of loss of sanity went into making this.

just to mention aswell, the competition was insane. there were some other amazing projects on display, maybe some might get posted here....











plenty more images where they came from, thats kinda just an overview. all mechanisms work by the way.

thanks christ it's finished...

Here is a model i did on solid works





lunapic_128321237160438_2.gif

memaul

very impressive drawings.

i'm an engineering student and i'm just wondering what is the best for drawing in 3d. i'm pretty handy at cad in 2d.

is solid works easier than wildfire or what are the other options
