Hand wash pump action bottle

For my final project, it was a challenge one, Making a pump action bottle. It was a bit scary at first when i have to think of how to get all of the parts rgith, because if 1 wrong.......EVERYTHING GO WRONG!
However, the non-cylindrycal bottle was a good excersive for me to get use to create the part using the actual sketches of the bottle and lofting!

the bottle i chosen has a very simple shape, so there were not much trouble creating the loft body.


however, making the inside was INSANE! there are totally 9 parts that i need to make seperately and each of them are very difficult to measure becuase there were some very little details, and when i missed, EVERYTHING GONE WRONG! EPICLLY FAIL!

but then finally, im quite happy with what im done for this all excersice! Good start for doing CAD this year and hopefully i can manage to not failing! =.=
and i am excited to look forward to making a computer mouse!! BRING IT ON CAD

Customise bottle


For my customised bottle, i wasnt thinking of changing my bottle shape too much becuas eit really like the shape,.Nut i like it to look unique, therefore, what i did was just create a sketch of diffrent size of circle and extrude cut them through the bottle, make it look more interesting.

2nd Excersice/ Shampoo bottle

After finshed the first excesice to refresh some skill on SolidWork, our 2nd assignment was to choose a non-cylindrycal bottle and build it using CAD.

the bottle i was choose is a Herbal essences shampoo bottle, i really like the curve shape of the bottle and it is my most favourite shampoo so i decide to make this one.

first of all i took some photo of it( front, side, top & bottom) and measue it, taking out some important measure. I used Sketch tool-sketch pictures, put in the actual picture may help me get the right shape of the bottle.


i used loft to created the shape of the bottle, also adding some guide curve to give the accurate shape. then i used Split command to split the bottle to 2 parts. in this way i can build my parts easier.


used loft and create the top part of the bottle.
making the cap was the most difficult parts, it was really hard to get all the measurement right for the cap to create the joint for the cap. i actually have to split them into hard, to get the middle base then join them back together and work on top and buttom sepeartely.

the joint part was a bit easier but i still mess up the measurement a lot LOL
after created all the part, i managge to put all of the parts together by creating a assembly part,. In here, i used the mate command to joint all the part together. i also put in the configuration to make the cap open and close.
