controller is a re-imagined design of the controller for a popular cartridge-based video game console from 1985. Starting with the internals of a USB remake of the original controller, the directional pad, buttons, and controller shape were all reworked to increase comfort and performance. The end result yields more responsive controls and lower user fatigue during extended gameplay.! Note: some injection molding conventions such as draft and max rib thickness were waived in favor of functionality when 3D printed.!
more viable method of transportation in dense cities like New York, the fact that there is no particularly comfortable way to hold a skateboard when carrying it around quickly becomes apparent. ! To solve this problem, the form of brass knuckles was used as a basis for this skateboard carry handle, a design that inherently has high levels of user control and has aesthetic ties to both the punk rock and hip hop culture of skateboarding. ! Realizing that injection molding would be required to meet an acceptable price point, this grip was designed with considerations for draft, parting lines, lack of undercuts, etc. to ensure a straightforward and cost- effective mold could be produced.! This flow simulation demonstrates the projected flow of plastic into an injection mold cavity.!
of constantly needing to switch between a knife and a spatula while cooking, this tool combines both functions by modifying a typical spatula with sharpened edges, torque equalizing thumb grips to counter the blade offset, and semi-flat sides on the handle for additional torque resistance. These features combine to make a fully functional spatula that can be used to cut butter, cheese, fruits, vegetables or other relatively soft items that are typically cut into small pieces and then lifted by a spatula.!
are difficult to lift and create awkward wrist positions while pouring; thus, this container was created to remedy these ergonomic issues. The ambidextrous design has the user first grab the bottle under the cap ring and then tilt the container using the pronounced grip at the bottom. If needed, the bottle is capable of being pressed against the chest of the user like a rifle stock for a third point of stability. This design also benefits from a rectangular footprint to maximize shelf space and a mid-bottle lip that creates turbulent flow to mix the beverage as it is poured.!
as a response to the general lack of shape-based feedback to the driver with respect to the position of shift gates. By adding the arc to the side of the shifter, the driver can immediately understand his or her handʼs position with respect to the various gears and therefore is less likely to shift into the wrong gear in intense driving situations. The arc also helps prevent the userʼs hand from slipping due to sweaty palms.!
understated novelty piece intended to appeal to motorsports enthusiasts. Unlike a standard watch that moves in a constant clockwise fashion, this watch imitates the action of a tachometer by moving clockwise for 55 seconds and then reversing for 5 seconds like a race car accelerating and decelerating as it laps a track. The lower right section has a clock and date in the same position as you would find on a real automobile dashboard and thus makes the watch a fully functional time piece as well as drives home the design inspiration.!
bar stool combines an inherently strong and comfortable shape with an inseparable association with upscale alcoholic beverages. The three-piece construction makes the stool easier to manufacture, ship, and assemble (the pieces simply screw together with no tools needed) as well as being capable of modular replacement if a component is ever damaged. The metal sub frame under the plastic exterior ensures even the heaviest or rowdiest of bar guests will have a tough time damaging this stool. Lastly, the smooth contours with no bolts or crevices makes it easy to hand clean or even hose down after a night of spilled drinks, making it a great outdoor bar stool as well.!
concept combines the function of a standard office task chair with that of a kneeling chair. The chair would remain with the seat back “up” for quick sessions or reclined seating and convert to a kneeling chair when the user needs to lean over a desk or drawing table for extended periods of time. The 2-in-1 nature with quick conversion affords the user the privilege of not having to face the ergonomic consequences of not having the appropriate seating style at all times. To ensure ample comfort, the seat cushions would be comprised of a sandwich of three different foam densities (softest near surface, hardest near frame) so that the flat surfaces create custom molds to every user of the chair regardless of size or weight.!
concept is an exceptional combination of simplicity, elegance, and inherent strength in one easy-to-manufacture product. Unlike dull industrial racks, this rack celebrates the garments and makes the combination of the two into an almost sculpture-like display piece. Ideally, the rack would be created with mandrel bends and used for a premium market of high end retail and consumer use, but could also be made with crush bent tubing or sold as segments to be bolted together for lower end markets.!
