The purpose of this project was to create a birdfeeder that targeted a specific bird's traits while making a product a consumer would want to buy.
This particular bird had strange eating habits including eating upside down. So I created a birdfeeder that allowed it to hang from the wooden pieces as it pulled seeds from between the wooden pieces.
The laser cutter was an instrumental part of creating the parts quickly and accurately as well as careful choosing of the types of wood used to balance manufacture time, durability, and cost.
Using Autodesk Fusion 360 to create the birdfeeder and then exporting it to Keyshot, I was able to see what the final design would like without wasting physical materials.
As you can see from the picture above, the 3d CAD and the real life products were exactly the same.
