Design Principles: Prioritize simplicity prompts

9 days ago

Problem Definition: What need or frustration does this product address? Who is the target user or environment? Function & Motion: What kind of motion or mechanical action will achieve the goal? Can it be simplified, automated, or made more efficient? Mechanism Exploration: Sketch at least three possible mechanisms (linkages, gears, cams, levers, etc.). How do they convert input to output motion? Design Principles: Prioritize simplicity, durability, and ease of manufacture. Consider ergonomics and safety. Innovation Angle: What makes your design different or clever? Can it combine existing mechanisms in a new way? Sketch & Annotate: Draw your concept with labels for parts and materials. Note how forces move through the system.
