Modeling Rowenta Hair Dryer

STEP 5

Start with ellipse in Right viewport. (Click on diameter option) and input for end of first axis 32mm, and for end of second axis 16mm.

Now, using Rectangle (select Rounded option) make a rectangle (first length 20mm, and second 13mm, and center it in the center of our ellipse:

Rotate the two curves from top viewport, and extrude with no other extrusion options:

Trim the inner part of outer shell of our dryer with extruded ellipse, and split the inner shell of dryer with extruded rounded rectangle:

Loft the edges:

Fillet the Edge with 1mm radius.

Now, create this little rounded rectangle, and position it like on the image:

Project it on the blue surface, and extrude that projected curve by 3mm (-3mm) and make a cap with Patch command.

STEP 6

And for the end, we will make another button. The first one was for controlling the fan speed, and this one is On/Off button. So, create an Ellipsoid:

Offset that ellipsoid with OffsetSrf command by 0.5mm towards outside. With the bigger ellipsoid trim the handle:

Fillet the edges with 0.4mm, and you’re done!!!

    I’m pretty sure if you follow carefully this tutorial you will be able to model this hair dryer. After all, you will notice that every model is made with 20 or so exact same commands. The workflow is pretty much the same for each model.

    Check out gery’s try on this model:

    hi……not exactly relevant to the tutorial, but looking for advice - exactly how difficult is this programme to learn? Naturally this depends on a variety of factors, time, understanding etc….but to someone who has never used a 3-D modelling program?….any advice would be great.

    Thanks in advance.
