3-D Models > Spray Bottle 2

Objective: Select a household object capable of being concealed in one hand. Translate the various shapes of the object into simple polygons in Rhino 3-D, create a model, then fold the model down into a flat surface. Print the resulting pattern on a light, white paper/board and actually construct the model. Analysis: This project was an assignment for a foundation 3-D modeling course at DePaul University. The screen shots above are rendered pictures of the model I created once I had reduced it to polygonal shapes that would be easy to construct. The most difficult part was, ironically, the most uninteresting part of the model: the dodecagonal base of the sprayer. The trigger and nozzle proved to be the easiest to build and construct. Ultimately, the entire model broke down into 7 distinct pieces that could be easily folded down into a flat plane for ease of construction. See "Spray Bottle Prototype" for photographs of the final product.
