Examining overall structure and slat interlocking

Analyzing light dispersion and cable housing for upper halogen bulb (within a slat) - also some consderations

Examining how a bulb housing might lock and unlock with a slat - for maintenance

Preliminary model to explore the design challenge and explore size, shape, shortcomings and general considerations in a real world sense.

3D model of the halogen bulb assembly

Modeling central component responsible for light dispersion - a vehicles blind spot mirror! The holes aid light dispersion and heat dissipation

Model of lamp end pieces with photographers gel filter to color light and lend light some ambiance

Modeling the manner in which the center piece would interlock with slats

Overall assembly in exploded view to appreciate components and their relationship to one another

Model of complete table lamp assembled

Each lamp component is rendered in G-Code (for the CNC machining) from its respective 2D CAD plot (not shown)

CNC routing in action - based on G-code generated from 2D CAD plot of each component

Assembling the routed components to explore what finishing is required before demo-ing the prototype lamp
