Intro:

• This one started as a modeling duel between Nikor44 and ThomasAn ... but anyone who might want to take a crack it, feel free to do so
  

Goal:

• To model a CD case by reverse engineering it to at least 0.1mm accuracy

Object:

• We are using this exact case to take measurements from.

Cheers Thomas!!

This is what I have so far:

Looking very nice

... let me put some thumbnails together.

[NicoR44]

Thanks!

Ow, and don't forget those draft angles guys!

[Thomas An.]

ok, here is my entry.

Modeling app: Rhino3d
Result: CD case model at 0.1 mm.

You are doing draft angles too ?

[Maximus3D]

whoa! great work both of you. Voting for a winner is gonna be real tough.

I'm impressed!

Yes


Thanks Max!!! jump in

Yes

Right.
When I measured the parts, only the inset had some noticeable draft angles in some areas. The top and bottom transparent pieces did not have anything perceivable (it might have been a 1 degree or something small like that). I didn't do any draft on the top and bottom pieces, only the middle one.

WOW! Excellent modelling guys! Are you using images to model the cd case or measuring the physical model?

Taking measurements with a vernier.

Brilliant! Now wheres my....pop corn? Hehe! Loving it guys just hope there is room for a draw cause they both are looking good!

Ah ok, I found some here in the lower part:



Maybe a bit overkill...

Interesting.

Curt, .....the draft angle thing is insane, .... your usually talking 0.4/0.5 degrees per mm ----- fairly imperceptible. ...but your insane, ...carry on.
