Final Project - Modeling
Version 1: Modeling the cat shelter in cause of 3mm wood board.
According the design sketch which is shown above, I need to separate the cat shelter to pieces of parts.
Here's the 3D model of the cat shelter model.
This design by designed fixing by simple mortise & tenon, which thickness of material is 3mm.
In my planning, the shelter will be divided to plate parts. I need to confirm the size of a cat and then some size can be confirmed.
So I setup the sizes as variables and draw a design sketch as below. I choose laser cutter to layout the parts of shleter. The layout process can refer by here.
By the way, this structure can be made by laser cutter which allows manufacturing with thin plates, but it's not robustness.
In order to ensure the robustness of designed cat shelter, a thick material is needed. 18mm thickness of wood board is considered in the next design.
Version2: Modeling cat shelter in cause of 18mm HDF board.
The design step can refer to Week7 Assignment
