Laptop Bag

I wanted to explore design and manufacture of cloth-like materials, and so decided to design a laptop bag using SOLIDWORKS sheetmetal functionality, and then laser cut and hand cut the resulting flat pattern, and then hand stitch the bag together. Unfortunately, the CAD model of the bag was lost in a hard drive failure, but the resulting bag is almost identical to the model.

​

I explored decorative design on the back of the bag, and created parametric gear models in SOLIDWORKS that I could adapt to make many involute gears, resulting in the many shapes of gears shown that would mesh (the gear configuration isn't useful, however, and will lock).
