For my technical module project, I was inspired by our visit to Swanston Farm in Howe, Edinburgh, where we got to see highland cows up close! The highland “coos” are iconic to Scotland, and with my matching hair color and style, it seemed only fitting that I use this project to create my own little replica. In Onshape, I sketched and extruded the outline of my model, and, on top of that sketch, I added extra detail, including my cow’s fur and nose, the cross from the Scotland flag, and Edinburgh lettering on the left horn. I chose to laser cut my model because I wanted more precise cuts for the finer detail of my sketch. I also decided to laser cut out of blue acrylic, which would play off of the cross detail and serve as a nod to the Scottish flag. Attached below are my Onshape models, finished design, and photo inspirations!
