Design Purpose
This structure serves as an example for industrial product design, showcasing aesthetic CNC machining techniques, corporate promotional gifts, and surface finish analysis.
Deep Hole Drilling
Represents how the 6 deep chambers holding the pens are machined with flawless smoothness on a single axis without drill wander.
External Fluting
Demonstrates how the milled grooves (flutes) on the outer surface, originally meant to reduce weight and inertia on a real revolver, create an aesthetic grip feel in this design.
Indexing Notches
Highlights how the asymmetrical notches at the bottom, which lock a real cylinder in alignment with the barrel, add an industrial realism to the design.
Six-Shooter Pen Holder - Detailed Specifications
Below is the comprehensive engineering breakdown of each component within the assembly. This data includes standard material selections, ISO tolerances, surface finishes, and critical engineering notes required for manufacturing and assembly.
Billet Cylinder Body
Industrial Design Product
A heavy and stable desktop organizer shaped from a single solid metal billet on CNC lathe and milling machines.
In aesthetic parts like this, surface finish takes precedence over pure mechanical functionality. Reaming is applied to ensure no tool marks are left inside the chambers where the pens sit. To achieve flawless reflections on the outer surface, it goes through special polishing and anodizing steps after CNC milling.
