Harper Barbecue & PitWorks Display Model
Before Harper Barbecue was founded, I had previously worked Harper PitWorks, who specialized in fabrication of smokers, grills, and fire pits. I assisted the team in creating 3D models and orthographic drawings of their products for use in mass production.
​
For the grand opening of Harper Barbecue in Costa Mesa, CA, I was commissioned to produce 3D printed models of their flagship products from the pre-established Harper PitWorks line: The 120 Gallon Offset Smoker, and the 40" Fire Pit Grill.

​
Preliminary Renderings
CAD Models were created using photos of existing Harper Pitworks product line.
Solidworks Models were used to create Keyshot renderings of planned 3D printed models.
Renderings were scaled to fit existing merchandise shelving dimensions in Harper Barbecue Restaurant.​
