Bubble Letter Alphabet Modelled in Rhino 5; Nurbs Surfaces
A personal challenge to model the alphabet in Rhino, using nurbs surfaces.The letters were not modelled alphabetically. I tried some different approaches on the letters, so some results are better…
Calculator form studies and modelling exercise
Continuing on from recreating my 70's calculator in Rhino, I have developed several form studies in Rhino and then taken 4 further, creating the keys, split lines, cases, etc. This…
Solidworks Tutorial: A master model methodology using ‘Insert Part”
Using a master model to control derived parts means parts that share boundaries, surfaces, split lines etc, can be driven from a single part. This allows the modeller to modify…
Modelling and rendering exercise
70’s Rockwell 20 R Calculator CAD model and renderings
The Rockwell 20 R calculator was introduced in 1974. I purchased one in the UK in the mid 2000's and ever since have been meaning to model and render the…

Noho pre launch
I'd like to share a project that I have helped with over the last few years. Noho will be launching soon; designed by Formway Design; made in NZ furniture that…
Solidworks Tutorial: Surface modelling a three arm junction/n sided surface.
A tutorial covering one way to create a blend tangent to three other surfaces. This is done by creating two 4 sided surfaces, one of which is trimmed. This technique…
Solidworks Tutorial: Surface modelling a three sided surface.
A short tutorial that covers building a three sided surface from two 4 sided surfaces, including a trimmed boundary. If you will be offsetting surfaces to create a plastic part,…
