Parametric Constraints

In this activity, students were led to learn how to use and replace algebraic formulas for numeric values in a 3D CAD solid model figure. For this activity, we were given various model pictures identifying and assisting the student on how to assemble and create the activity

Basic Assembly

In this assignment, Students worked on the making of a Basic Assembly activity. This activity was used to teach students how to fully assemble parts to an object whether many constraint tools were felt in use such as mate, flush, or edge. The constraints were brought into consideration to define the realtionship between the geometry of certain individual parts! students were also taught how to remove an object's DOF--or degrees of freedom to fully constrain a component!

Driving Constraints

For this work, students were asked to create a "driving Constraint"--in other words, a modeled gearshaft. Now, you can imagine this activity being rather easy--just insert all objects in place, but it is rather much difficult! The gearshaft introduced students many new and different tools that seemed unknown to all in the class! Likewise, the Gearshaft itself had to be driven--in other words, it had to function as its gearshaft moved the rack placed below.

Model Features

Sketching is very fun. But what tips the icing of the cake would be sketching 3D Model Sketches! Serving

3-dimensional sketches serves the viewer with its complete view of an object rather than just a flat surface itself. 3D provides an image/object as a whole rather than as a part, it provides depth to show its full functionality and secret parts that are inevidable to the viewer within the use of a 2D Sketch instead. In this work, students were able to experience a new way of sketching--in 3D! They used primarily commom 3D models to further expand their knowldge on the factor to practice how to create these models the way designers do. students used various Inventor Program Tools such as extrusions, pattern tools, embossing, and etc...This work gave students a new way to enjoy and reap the benefits of the program by having fun and learning various tools at the same time!

Puzzle Cube Design Project

Creation, innovation, attraction. Three of the many factors that come into the mind of a designer when constructing an obsolete and found invention. For this assignment, students were given the ability to find ways of finding ways. Students brainstormed many combination types of smaller cubes to construct a much bigger design. Reaching a limit of 5 different combinations, students thus further took their combinations of choice to build their 3'x3'x3' cube model. Sooner or later, students built their prototype together with sketching its model on the Inventor Program as well as its parts descriptions. But the fun wasn't over yet, as students used their captivating minds to design an interesting cube package for their cube models as any designer would when wanting to commerce its its true found invention in the market!

History of Measurement

Measurement is an invention that has surrounded  people ever since the times of the Bible. Everything we use, eat, and watch, had to be thought of first before it could be created. The use of measurement does not withdraw from this perception at all! From developing societies needing fixed values for sizes,etc...to standardizing barter terms to fulfill use and need, nations became in much need of something standard that all could compel with and use in order to generate perplexed creations that all could comprehend. This project was conducted to further test the knowledge and acquire on how the way of measurement came to be. Students based their research on the History of Measurements and inducted general ideas about its history. Students used powerpoint presentations to present their work and  were required to design either a book jacket or a CD cover as part of their work/research and understanding of the project.

Isometric Sketching

Creation comes in everything. We would not have the technological advances and acquirements we have today if humans were not given the gift of "creation". In the life of an engineer, he/she is all about creation. Many use computers or different assets to promote their creation before becoming a final product. Although, in its absence, every prototype/product has to pass evaluation on the drawing board after an idea is proposed, and just before it can be transfered to a refine computer program. By using grid sketching paper, students were found to scale a drawing and sketch it to the applied dimensions (yellow). Students also used sketching to portray various pictures on the grid to further expand their knowledge on the sketching and constraints of an object using simulated, Inventor(computer program) isometric images. It was an important task to also use tonal shading of the objects giving a sense of the object's angle/position or at which direction could sunlight be approaching from (white).

Evolution Project Design: The Chair

For this project, students were asked to find research on any object of their choice, and how this object/invention has evolved throughout time. As many students composed research on well-known technological inventions such as the train or automobiles, I decided to go "outside of the box" and on the contrary, find my research on an object people did not quiet viewed its perplexity as an invention/evolution. Although, it is part of everyone's life and definitely comprehended that a chair is perhaps and by far the most used invention yet! On a poster board, I posted my timeline of its evolution, together with an introductory paragraph, history analysis, conclusion Q's and A's, as well as various photos. I hoped to show the best out of the evolution of a chair so that others can see its true and fine meaning!

Welcome!

Hi! My name is Brendo and I will be using this blog as a portfolio for my Multimedia Design class. I will be posting my projects and examples along with a brief description of what I did. Please check back to see my work!
