I decided that I wanted to put the phrase “Row Well and Live” on my ring after trying a few different designs and growing frustrated. This was a phrase that my AFROTC commander taught us, explaining that it signified […]

For this assignment we used the softwares Fusion360 and Meshmixer. To be honest at first Fusion360 was very difficult to understand, but I really liked how detailed and complex the gadgets were. I began my design by […]

My Pangea ring has a base model very much like the test ring, but with an increased thickness due to the depth of the design I required. I did this by making the outer […]

So my ring has the klingon symbol from Star Trek on it, that is going to be printed in pink acrylic material. I chose this design because I’m getting back into Star Trek and I wanted a piece of Star Trek themed merch that didn’t […]

For my Ring Project I decided to do something a bit different. I was trying to think of what to put on my ring and I finalized on a Bible verse. For the style of my ring I originally chose to cut out the middle […]

Creating this ring that I thought would be simple ended in a host of failures.  The idea was to create a ring that was constrained in the middle, making it feel nice […]

Originally, I was going for a type of ring where it wraps around the finger (shown below). I messed around a lot with the stencil and images (re-meshing and different images), coming up with different images on […]

Reiterating that I have never participated in a technology class similar to 3D Printing before, each project enlightens me on a different creation that I never thought was possible through 3D printing. As a fashion lover myself […]

For this assignment, I designed a pinky ring using the 3D design program called Fusion. I started by going through the tutorial that was provided to learn to make the ring. I went through all the steps and then I decided to change […]

This ring project presented several challenges for me, and was certainly the biggest test that I have encountered in this class thus far. I ended up having to make two separate base designs for my ring, and had to make several design iterations for both base designs. […]

This assignment I found particularly challenging. I felt as if I was behind the 8-ball from the start. The first step we took as a class was to learn how to make a common ring design, and bring it to actuality. Upon the completion of […]

First of all, I followed all the steps that were on the powerpoint to make my first draft of the ring. Nevertheless, I struggled trying know how this now app, called Fusion 360, works. Coming from Tinkercad that is really simple […]

I created my ring using Fushion 360. It took me a while to figure out what kind of ring I wanted. After a while, I decided that It would be easier to just keep my design simple. I decided to put a smaller ring that would […]

I used the template ring that we had been instructed on how to make through the power point. I was happy with the way the ring looked, so i didn’t want to alter the actual shape of the ring, i.e., the way the ring curved […]

My design is quite a simple but delicate. It is basically two rings on top of each other. At first, I wanted my design to be wavy but I couldn’t figure how to do that. However, in the process, I made the design I decided […]

For this assignment, I began with the ring design that we made in class based on the ring tutorial. From there I wanted to make the ring have two outer edges, which makes it look similar to a spool. The way in which […]
