Bet you can't make this

Shampoo bottle 

Designed in Siemens NX

This is one 'just for fun' project. it started as bet "you can't make it like this without CMM" (Coordinate Measuring Machine machine that 'scan' 3D points of objects so designers can use them to recreate parts) it end as mold design tryout.

On pictures below you can see original bottle and my CAD design.

I started with ruler and felt pen, draw parallel lines to make sections on bottle.

Then i use ruler and caliper to measure curves for making rough model.

 

Then added bland where needed, and with few more mouse moves i got:

Then it was time to take off bottle top. And to model top of the bottle.

 

After that i did analysis of bottle surface, to see if it is smooth as it look like (this is done because our eye and computer resolution do not allow us to see some deformations on object surfaces, especially on rounded edges and small surfaces)

And now here is finished model of bottle and cover.

One look inside the bottle,

After few days i decided to try to make cast tools for this bottle, i started with cast tool for cover. I designed four part tool for cover with open lid. it have two half which form lid and outer contour of lid, then core for inner contour and one small core. next are pictures of side view, side view in perspective, and trimetric view on cast tool.

After I finished model i made analysis to assess moldability and manufacturability.
