Final Product - 'Day Dream'

My lovely assistant modelling my 'Fun Glasses'. I am reallly pleased with this final outcome of my project. I especially like the way the flowers seem to be floating around the head, its like a 'day dream'. The flowers introduce various colours and add a different dimension.

What went well?
I found lazer cutting the flowers easier than the glasses. The flowers were done straight in to Corel and I simply selected '3mm felt' on the material option, this step was very straight forward. Once the file was converted (this took the most time) in to Corel the frames of the glasses were cut out fine - no problem!

What didn't go well?
I found it difficult to get used to the programe, Pro Engineer and I still feel I need more practice but the basics are there. My first attempt at the frame, as you can see in earlier bloggs, was terrible! I tried to get everything on one sketch - which would not work as it was too large and complicated. Once shown how to do the different layers I felt much more comfortable and I was able to play around with dimensions. Over all the assembly of my product went well. I used Dichloromethane (with gloves and goggles) to attach the circles and washers ,which the flowers are sandwiched between. This product could be interchangable if the washers were slightly tighter. One of the arms was slightly tight so I used a needle file to remove some excess. Many Thanks to my model!
