3D Anglepoise Lamp

Outcome & Lessons

Overview & Requirements

Using SolidWorks, make accurate 3D lamp parts using 2D drawings. Using the 3D lamp parts, construct a fully functional lamp.

Requirements

•Create a bill of materials for the final lamp

•Use the SolidWorks tool library

•Must make all lamp parts in SolidWorks

This was my first-ever rendering project, and it resulted in all lamp parts being successfully rendered and mated together. Using SolidWorks, I was able to sketch and render each part of the lamp from 2D technical drawings. I also familiarized myself with the mating system SolidWorks offered and connected all lamp parts to achieve a rendering with a full range of motion.

During this project, I learned a variety of useful SolidWorks features. Using SolidWorks, I created 2D technical drawings for each rendered part. This project also gave me experience in making a professional bill of materials.
