Week 7: Fusion 360 Loft and Shell

Throughout the process of developing the Loft and Shell model I was able to further enhance my skills in creating sketches through Fusion 360 and learnt a new skill in creating lofts and shells to create 3D Models. The letters used in the model was inspired by the Tangle font shown below, however for the original design of the letter 'V' was altered in order to produce the desired shell as the sharp corners did not provide a suitable surface area to create a shell from 'V' to 'T'.

Inspired Font
The letters that were used to create the loft and shell model were V,  T and N.

3D Model Of Spaces

The Space 

The space used to model is the entrance, hallway and stairs as these are the main transition spaces where most movements occur.

Fusion Model of Space

In the process of modelling the space in Fusion 360, I learnt the importance of guidelines in assisting with creating the cuts required as well as planning in order to minimise errors and time wastage.

Paper Model

In creating my work space, I found that paper was able to bend and mould into the desired positions and shape, it was also easy to cut through the paper hence extra care had to be taken when scoring. Although paper is a very thin material and does not have the required stability to stand upright.

Scale 1:10

Cardboard Model

The cardboard material I used was from a cereal box which is thicker than paper but thinner than the cardboard box. Due to it having a higher GSM, it was more easier to model the working space in comparison to paper as it was able to stand on its own and give a sturdy look. However when scoring the cardboard, care must be taken to ensure the right side is scored in order for the cardboard to bend in the desired direction.

Scale 1:20

Ideal Room

The material I have chosen to construct the ideal room is cardboard as it has more strength in comparison to paper and also has the desired thickness to represent the walls and openings. For the scale, 1:20 was chosen as it was more practical and resourceful in creating the model.
