What Is It?

The Sonic Screwdriver is a prop replica from the BBC TV Show Doctor Who. This specific model is a recreation of it as seen in seasons one through four.

I created the sonic screwdriver via CAD Design, CNC Machining, FFF and SLA printing, circuit board design, C++ coding, and various other methods

CAD Design

The only information I started with were screen-grabs and behind-the-scenes videos. By determining the sizes of certain hardware on the prop, I was able to calculate the diameter and length.

From there, the design was rough prototyped with SLA printing until it appeared to match the original.

Based on a recent 3D scan of the prop, I have determined my replica to be ~98% accurate.
