Reversed Engineering Object
The object I chose to reverse engineer was a precision knife. The purpose of this assignment was to take a real life object and to take it apart into its smaller components. Then we had to measure each individual piece and recreate it using rhino. In the end the object should be an exact replica of the real life object you chose. It has a pretty simple design to it and was actually pretty fun to recreate. The hardest part overall was the screw piece that holds the knife in place as I had to figure out how to round the top and make a screw piece at the bottom. Once I figured out how to make the spiral pieces it took quite a while to figure out how to make the other part that it screwed into. But in the end everything worked out. Another challenging part was the red bean shape pieces at the top of the handle. Not only did they need to be shaped like a bean but they also had to curve around the object. What I ended up doing was drawing it flat then extruding it to make a 3D shape. I then used the boolean tools to split the object in half leaving me with an open side that fit perfectly around the handle.
