3D Modelling Projects
This is a show of my progress in teaching myself Fusion 360 and Rhino 8.
I began Rhino when it was first taught to us during university lessons. I downloaded the free trial to test it out.
All of the below was created within one week of being introduced to Rhino - I immediately fell in love with it.
Recreation of Our Boat in Rhino
Before modification.
3D scan of our catamaran: We 3D scanned our catamaran hull so I could work on it in the future. This is what I began with.
After all modification (only scoops remaining).
Rest of body missing from the scan.
All metal poles and cockpit structure along with cockpit details.
Superstructure addition with windows along hull and on deck.
Rear additional solar panels and Starlink aluminum structure that we will make the following summer. I used the official Starlink 3D model.
Added on the additions.
Mast, boom, and main ropes and shrouds.
Making My Own Catamaran Design
My Experimenting in Fusion 360
Model hydrofoils: I designed hydrofoils for my art project in school, Aurora, a model sailboat. I plan on getting them 3D printed and attached onto the model.
3D scan of our catamaran: This is not a model created by me. We 3D scanned our catamaran so I could work on it in the future.
This is a sketch I would like to create as a 3D model.
Creating a hull from different forms.
The final form.
Early 2023: Bows extensions (components in grey): This is a very early and simple design for our bow extensions. I used it to help create the template for our Summer Catamaran Project.
Post-summer 2023: Real bow extensions: These are my recreation of the actual bow extensions we added on in summer. I remade these in Fusion 360 so I could better design the sugar scoops to fit.
Our Catamaran’s scoops: This is a very early design of the sugar scoops that we plan on building in summer.
Our Catamaran: The blue lines are a 2D sketch I created to represent the upper half that wasn’t scanned. I also added rudder and keel modifications we possibly plan on making in the future.
Work with the form tool in Fusion 360.
