Go to Post I wanted to make an epoxy/carbon fiber/fiberglass arm for our 'bot, but I was outvoted by conservative teenagers. Oh well... - Rick TYler [more]

Re: INVENTOR - Hermit Crab Shell

Personally I don't use Inventor, but 3D CAD is 3D CAD so.. I would start by meshing together random dome shapes until it looked good enough for a nice shell shape, and then performing a shell feature (no relation ) option when my shell-shaped "blob" was all done.

Got MatLab available on your campus? This is a cool thing I found.

Also, from an engineering perspective, check out the cool way these people made a shell shape on this page:

This sounds like a cool project. Good luck with it.

Btw, what kind of Rapid-Prototype machine do you have? Z-Corp?
