Popsicle stick bridge
I designed this bridge for the boy next door. He watches my son and I build projects, and he asked if he could build a bridge for his cars. I took him downstairs and we did a real quick sketch in illustrator. This is a quick model to show everyone how easy it is to design and build a popsicle stick bridge, where playing with cars is the important factor, not strength. If anyone is interested in building this bridge I have made instructions and templates as a pdf for download. The Drawdio is nearly finished. click here to see the real thing on my crafts blog
What did you use for a program. I teach 7th Grade Tech Ed and we are building craft stick briges!
Hello Joe
I drew the design in Adobe Illustrator. I then exported the splines and imported them into Cinema 4d. The above picture is a 3d model in Cinema 4d. You can download a demo from http://www.maxon.net/downloads.html and open my file to have a look at the 3d model. If you want to build the real thing then download the pdf with all the printouts and instructions. http://3d4me.wordpress.com/2009/08/05/popsicle-stick-bridge-instructions/ I illustrated the instructions in Adobe Illustrator. Have fun with popsicle sticks.
