Journeys End

Well that's it for this project. Everything's finished and handed in and I must say I've enjoyed the whole project and learned a lot. I've really liked the whole CAD/CAM process and I've found using the blog a great way to keep the creative process flowing, it's certainly something I'll use again in the future.

I guess all that's left is for me to post a picture of the final product.....'Bye 'till next time...

Sealed in packaging and displayed on stand

In use on a PC

Nearly There....

It's been a few days since I've updated my blog but I've made a lot of progress in that time. I've almost finished painting my usb stick after a couple of attempts that didnt go quite so well. I've produced two copies of my packaging so that I can hand in with one sealed and one open. I've also nearly completed my display stand, so all in all it's looking pretty good...Roll on hand in day!

Making good progress

I've had an excellent couple of days progress. Yesterday I got my design through the 3D printers and I'm really pleased with the results, especially the fit of the lid. I also sketched my design for the packaging which I have just finished creating in Photoshop. Tomorrow I'm going to sublimate my design onto the foil and prepare my usb stick for painting.

Designs ready for prototyping

Well after wrestling with Creo for 2 hours I've finally got my design refined enough to go to the 3D printer on Monday. Hopefully there won't be any issues with my design and I can concentrate on designing my packaging next week.

Success with Sublimation

I tested the sublimation process on my plastic coated foil on Friday and I am very happy with the results (which can be seen in Packaging Development). My next stage is to refine my CAD designs ready for prototyping next week.
