The document provides instructions for creating 3D models of everyday objects using different digital design and fabrication techniques in Rhino. It describes processes like using revolve to create a candle, sweeping rails to make a bracelet, and combining loft, twist and flowalongsrf to form a lamp shade. A total of 8 objects are modeled including an iPod, flashlight, spatula, and lamp. For each object, the techniques used are outlined in 2-3 sentences with steps like creating shapes, applying booleans, extruding, and using curves.

Curves and Solids Everyday Objects
Revolve, Rail Revolve Based iPod
01 02
Control Point Curve used to draw half a verticle outline of the candle shape. Box for iPod frame. Variable Radius Fillet on edges of iPod.
Revolve to swing line around and create 3 dimensional candle. 2 Circles and Surface from Planar Curves for trackpad.
Boolean Difference for mic jack, hold switch and screen. Replace Screen and Hold
Switch holes with the same shapes from Boolean Difference.
Solids and Surfaces Everyday Objects
Sweep 1 Rail, Sweep 2 Rails Based Flashlight
03 04
Control Point Curve used to draw one curve that was then copied and pasted. Then Cylinder and 2nd smaller cylinder for handle. Boolean Difference to hollow out tube.
moved slightly apart. Turn Control Points on and pull a few to different levels.
Truncated Cone and duplicate. Boolean Difference to hollow out.
Line tool to create a cross section line between to the two curves’ end points.
Cylinder to create lens. Sphere for button, Boolean Union.
Sweep 2 Rails to build the surfaces between the lines and curves.
Surfaces and Transformations Everyday Objects
Flow along/Projection on Surface Spatula
05 06
Extrude Straight curve line. Rectangle and smaller rectangles inside for holes.
Array Rectangle and Group boxes. Rectangle then Surface from Planar Curves behind Extrude slightly to give the head depth. Variable Radius Fillet for heade edges.
the array.
Repeated for handle, only ellipse instead of smaller rectangular holes.
FlowAlongSrf tool to lay rectangle array on wavy surface.
Surfaces and Transformations Everyday Objects
Combination: Loft, Twist and FlowAlongSrf Lampshade
07 08
Loft to create half tube. Twist half tube. Control Point Curve and Revolve to creat lamp base.
Create a series of Circles Cylinder for lamp spoke.
Rectangle then Surface from Planar Curves behind the circles. Truncated Cone for lampshade.
FlowAlongSrf tool to lay circles on wavy twisted tube. Control Point Curve and Sweep for cord. Box for plug.
