This gallery displays studies in designing and engineering production-viable products.
Methodology
-
Each study began with in-depth research on material properties and manufacture processes.
-
Each process began with disassembling existing objects to gain an understanding of the parts and joining methods of the whole.
-
Each study was engineered in Solidworks and rendered through Keyshot. Technical drawings exist for each study.
Insulated Bottle
For this study, I designed a double-walled thermal bottle for use on outdoor adventures. It features an attachment for a carabiner, non-slip grooves that still function under dust or sweat, and an easy to clean design.
Great care was taken to design the product to fit realistic manufacture methods with polypropylene, TPU, and stainless steel.
Mini Calculator
Calculators largely look the same - dark, neutral colored rectangles about the size of a smartphone. This calculator aims to feel more like a Tomagotchi, serving as a small and cute handheld device for kids.
This model was designed around existing off-the-shelf electronic components recovered from a dissassembled calculator.
Dollar Store Harmonica
For this study, I recreated an existing product with realistic wall thicknesses, draft angles, and parting lines for injection molding.
