Concept Presentation

Today was the day to wow the judges with the design, yes folks today was presentation day.

I believe i did well but the most important part is the feedback from the lectures. They acknowledge the designs short comings and i would have to agree on that. There are many aspects i am still unhappy with, mainly the base stability problem that i have been having, i try to counter it the best way i know but still i fell short it wont stop me through. I will keep pushing this product even further in my own time.

I will follow up first by searching for any manufacturing and outsourcing for some of the parts, mainly the bottoms of the individual bins.

Concept CAD models

These are just some of the cad models that i did to see the product in a different light, the look of different materials, colours and finishes.

Concept Final Progress 02

Well this is the progress with my model, its taken this long to get to this point from the last progress blog due to the fact i ran into some issues that needed me to spend more time solving. Things like the slot of the pole, gap issues etc.

You learn from your mistakes i say, by making the full scale model i have learn a few things in the design; mostly, would be how the draws would rotate.
I developed a simple mechanism to lock the draws in place when the draws are rotated to a certain degree, that raised restriction issues and made the design appear less "free will" and obviously appear restrictive. So i decided to take away this feature and make it more loose to express more of a "fun" related product.

Concept Final Progress 01

Well here it is, further progress on my final concept model; it will be made out of plywood as you can see... a very flexible and easy to use material indeed.

Will post up more undates on the final concept model progress soon also how i got the plywood to behave how it did, not rocket science or anything just plain messing around... >_<

Concept 2nd Attempt Material Prototype

This is the 2nd attempt at materials, to be honest i am liking the outcome of the plywood, i can see some nice natural looking finishes on it...
