Inspiration for the my "Safe-Ascend" ring comes from my personal love for rock climbing. The ring itself is based of the belay and repelling device called an "ATC", this device allows people to both ascend and descend a rock face safely.
  For the modeling of my ring I primarily used the extrusion command set to solid, and then through projection curves and boolean tools, I shaped both the top and bottom halves of my model. I chose to incorporate the same logo from my previous climbing related model, the hammer, to break up the surface of the top piece.
   In Keyshot, I chose to make the ring entirely out of aluminum in order to conserve weight while maintaining strength, the exception being the logo, which is again a hard plastic.
