Bottle Design


For this assignment, we used vacuum forming to create a bottle.


First, I got two blocks of balsa wood and clamped it together over night with wood glue.



Then I used a lathe to create that bottle shape.


After an hour, this is what've I got.



Then I got a sheet of PETG and vacuum formed it. 

                  

Then, I stated on designing on how my bottle will look like.




I cut the excess plastics off and sanded the edges. I then glued the two pieces together using acrylic solvent. I then pour black paint into the bottle and shook it to perserve the glossy feel on the outside.

Roto Molded Stool



This Project was to create a furniture out of rotational molding. I decided on making a stool :)
However, the assignment is to create it so that it looks like it's roto molded, but can be made out of any material.




As usual, I used my favorite material styrene. Then I filled it with foam filler and blue foam so that the stool can be dense enough to sit on.



After creating two stools, I painted them in pastel pink and sky blue and bought back drops that match with them. 




I used my friends to model for me. I also used a Canon XSI with a 24-105mm lens.
Special thanks to Susan and Daewon for helping me!
