HOOK WITH HINGE MECHANISM DESIGNED FOR ALUMINIUM EXTRUSION AND PROTOTYPED WITH ABS PLASTIC USING A 3D PRINTER
RESEARCH BOARDS
Research done on designs suitable for aluminium extrusions, hook mechanisms, creative hooks and hooks that can fold down and away communicated through precedent boards.
CORELDRAW DRAWING
Final design settled on scanned and entered into CorelDraw. Using the hand sketch, a sketch was done on coreldraw to get accurate measurements, tolerances and design specifications.
SOLIDWORKS SKETCH
The sketch from CorelDraw is entered into the CAD program SolidWorks. A second sketch was done over the first to confirm measurements, tolerances and design specifications. The two-part product is then extruded.
CAD RENDERS
The images above are different views and closeup images of the product in the CAD environment after colour and materials have been added, showing different details.
CAD CONTEXT RENDERS
The images below are CAD context renders with materials and colour added to suit the environment. The hook placed in the setting displays and shows the clear use of the hook and different places it can be used.
