Solid Modeling

I personally like to use 3-D modeling in my design process. It allows me the opportunity to sketch in three dimensions and better visualize the idea that is in my head. I really like the ability to see the way certain curves in my design react visually to other curves... something that I have a hard time doing in just my imagination.

Initial SolidWorks rendering:

This is my idea of the base of my sculpture. It is made from laser cut 0.22 inch clear acrylic sheeting that is then solvent glued together to form a three dimensional shape.
