[CAD] Calipers

Date completed: 09/02/2010
Software: SolidWorks

It's been awhile since I posted a CAD drawing, so here is one.  I have these calipers, so decided to make a simple model of it.  This assembly has 8 parts in a semi-exploded view.

[CAD] 3D GoogleTalk

Date completed: 04/21/2010
Software: SolidWorks

I wanted to post something today, so here's a 3D creation of GoogleTalk. I did this just for some creative fun. All the dimensions are relatively accurate and every button, name and icon are separate parts in this assembly, a total of 43 unique parts.

I blurred out the names to protect their identities.

[CAD] Rib approximator

Date completed: 06/15/2010
Software: SolidWorks

At that time, I just wanted to create something, so I found this rib approximator and spreader device used in thoracic surgery from an image at Hilbro.com. It is a very simple rack and pinion device.

I may also re-create the Bailey-Gibbon rib approximator, but the minimal feeling of accomplishment may deter me from doing it.
