Top 5 Constraints of making a lamp

8 years ago

The initial constraint for this will be sourcing materials. I would like to make the light out of a combination of stainless steel and wood. I would like to find both circular materials to make these out of. Finding materials that will match in dimensions could be difficult.
The second constraint i envision in making this is the machining and manufacturing involved. I am worried that with the circular shape i will struggle to be able to cut the shapes that i am looking for into the materials i am looking for.
Making sure the parts can move easily and function well. I want the two materials to be able to spin around each other easily so that the lamp can function well. I would like to integrate some system for this to be able to spin around.
Incorporating electronics into my design will be a further difficulty for my design. I am envisioning making this with an already assembled light fixture. I will need to design around this.
The final constraint around this design is to keep the price within my budget. I would like to make this with nice materials so that it is something i would like to keep in the future. In order to keep this goal attainable i will need to make sure that i can achieve the design i am looking for in the first attempt.
