Project: Accurately Model a Pearl Snare Drum
What I learned: Parametric Work flow
Duration: 2 months
Age 18
The objective was to model a 1:1 scale replica of a Pearl Snare Drum. The project was divided among four team members, I was in responsible for the lock mechanism attached to the strings (As seen below). During the project I learned the importance of a flexible workflow. For example, if after closer inspection the radius of a screw was .25in and not .3in then with Inventor it is possible to change this dimension without affecting the rest of the part. The model was exported to a 3rd party render engine to achieve more realistic results. But because of the complexity of the model the vertex count had to be limited resulting in rectangular curves. Check out this power point for the modeling process!
