Screw Driver

With this assignment we had to design a screw driver in Rhinoceros. First we had to draw a polyline outline for what the screwdriver and to roughly look like. The we use Control Point Curve to create the actual outline of my screwdriver. After making the outline I edited the points so it looked like a more professional screwdriver. Then using the revolve tool, it became a actual screwdriver. Then I used Boolean Difference to create a flat head and the grooves in the handle.

Rhinoceros V-Block

V-Block
This is the first project on Rhinoceros that we have done, we just followed measurements that were set on the piece of paper we had. But I only did half of V-block then mirrored it to saved time. After the object itself was made I extruded it to create the object that you see here.
