Sea AnenomePencilHolder

thingiverse

This is a solidworks generated model based on a sea anemone and functions as a pencil holder. It consists of sweeps, circular patterns, cut extrudes, revolved cuts, and a loft. We utilized a circular pattern on the sweeps to rotate them around the central tube. In total, it has 19 tubes, which serve to securely hold pencils. This object was created within the dimensions 10 by 10 by 10, making it compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand. The tubes provide ample space to store multiple pencils. This is part of a set that includes the octopus tape dispenser and the flashdrive surfboard holder, all designed to work together as the ocean set. The concept of incorporating small tubules into this design served as an inspiration for a pencil holder. This model was inspired by another project on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:73489. Project #4: Office Supply Storage Problem Statement: Recent analysis by Staples' finance department has concluded that sales for desktop organization products have declined in recent years. The company aims to increase profits in this area by enhancing the aesthetic appeal of these products. Your team of three has been hired to design a set of theme-based organizational products. You will create a set of office supplies tied together with a common theme, which must be justified. The goal is for customers to want to purchase the entire set rather than individual items. Options: 1. Pencil holder that securely holds at least 5 pencils 2. Expo marker holder that can securely hold at least 4 markers 3. Pen holder that can securely hold at least 5 pens 4. Tape dispenser that will hold and cut a roll of scotch tape 5. Any other idea approved by your project manager! You will construct an actual-size model of your product in Solidworks, making it unique and visually appealing. It should be a conversation starter, with an individual walking by taking a second look to examine the interesting item. The theme that ties the products together is crucial. The design should include multiple extrusions for detail and showcase examples of revolve, sweep, and loft features. It should also utilize circular patterns, linear patterns, and mirroring techniques. Additionally, it should take advantage of filleting or chamfering. Each piece must fit within a 10cm x 10 cm x 10cm cube and be suitable for 3D printing.
