Coffee Cup Sliced Model

Lab 2: Part A

Modeling an Existing Object Form - Spring 2020 Here I have modeled the Starbucks reusable coffee cup I have at home. The lid was probably the most challenging and it took a couple of tries to get it to look right. Personally I relied more on holding the object rather than the pictures. The pictures did come in handy though for the big shapes. The logo cut out was more of an artistic touch because I thought I would look better like that when I print this as a keychain charm. For the cup itself I used Sweep2 of a circle For the lid I used ExtrudeSurf as a solid For Contouring and Markings I used FilletEdge, BooleanDifference, and BooleanUnion And to make it a watertight solid I used Join and BooleanUnion

Lab 2: Part B Slicing and Dicing Form - Spring 2020 In this lab we needed to load our model into Slicer for Fusion 360 and produce a physical model using the laser cut pieces the program extrapolated from the rhino file. I originally was going to do stacked slices made of cardboard but I found some sturdy poster paper and went with interlocked slices to produce the form more closely to the original model. The interlocking slices method successfully depicts the curvature of the cup and looks aesthetically pleasing. I had a few iterations to get the model assembled properly and conveying the logo. The first try with radial slices obscured the logo and the collapsed several times. I also modified some of the center pieces so that it can fit into the model's structure since the Slicer for Fusion 360 program doesn't account for the lack of space to interlock parts within the center of the model. Overall I think it looks good, but next time I would go with stacked slices with cardboard cutting at a strategic angle to show the logo the best.
