Process + Procedure

I started by taking a lot of measurements of my iPhone8, so the holder would fit my specific phone perfectly. Then I needed to CAD a model of the iPhone8 itself, to see how it would fit into the holder. Originally, I had thought to use an online model of the iPhone8 as I felt that trying to model the phone myself would be very time consuming with little benefit. I ended up modelling the phone as a rectangular box (for simplicity and time sake). My next step was to CAM the holder. I chose a 5 cm support rib on the back because I wanted to be sure that the phone wouldn’t fall over when I was using it. I used a filet for the charging port as I felt that it would help reduce the damage done to the charger when trying to plug it in. Although going from my drawings and measurements to the CAD model wasn’t conceptually hard (I did have to refer to some of the tutorials), it took quite a bit of time.
