Lily Karatzas: Week 7 Lamp Project


My design was inspired by the shape of a tulip flower. I wanted to imitate its simple elegance. I modeled my design by taking sections from a base polysurface and then piping those sections to create notches. Lastly, I used extrudesrf to expand both materials to their proper thickness. In Keyshot I tried to match my real lamp materials as closely as possible. I chose a red oak for the wooden sections (to match the corresponding wood and red oak stain I have for my laser cutting materials) and a rough clear plastic to match my acrylic plastic I'm going to be laser cutting. I made the light bulb glass and added an emissive material to the filament in one view and copper in the next. Finally, I added an area light and turned up the voltage and turned down the brightness of my environment for maximum reflection and shadows in my lights on view.

  1. Be sure to include a front top and side orthographic view of your model on your final boards.
