INDUSTRIAL DESIGN JOB PURPOSE

An industrial designer is supposed to design products and systems that can be innovative for the industry. I’m not a graphic designer, neither an expert in engineering machines. Industrial designers are looking with a helicopterview at a process questionning every part of it in a way to find how things can be done better. Designers have the ability to determine the needs of people doing research and how to respond on them. The focus is on exploring new ideas and areas using their creativity to provide innovation. Ideas are tested through prototyping in order to become a feasible result.

MAKE IT YOURSELF Nowadays, people want to explore things and make things in their free time. Young, educated people try all kind of stuff, they are called the ‘Makers’.

We developed a mold which makes it possible to create your own small furniture. This customizable mold provides casting 3 different plastic pieces allowing you to make almost every construction with a few shelves.

MARKET RESEARCH Many different products exist which have more or less the same functionality as the MOLDI piece does have. There are more expensive ones, there are cheaper ones, there are stronger ones,...but you all need to buy them in the shop. We want people to make their own small furniture because that’s just more fun.

In the end, it becomes cheaper when making more pieces because you just have to buy the casting material.

ONE MAN BUSINESS We as a team of 5 students decided to setup a realistic business project which could be launched during our studies. A project without great investments or the possibility to make big losses. That’s why we setup a one man business or sole proprietorship. A business plan was made with a sales forecast and financial plan in which fixed an variable costs are calculated.

MARKETING STRATEGY A marketing strategy was developed to receive some brand awareness. We mainly focus on maker faires and online marketing, because that’s where our target group hangs around and is moreover the cheapest way too.

TOP VIEW

FRONT VIEW

FRONT BIGBAND DESIGN A bigband mostly consists of 16 musicians playing jazz music and is splitted up into 4 sections, the trombonists, the saxophonists, the trumpeters and the rhythm section. All those people playing together with each musician having quite some equipment causes a lot of annoyances while setting the stage up and dismounting it again. Every instrument, score sheet, cable, etc needs to be placed somewhere on the stage while the musician still needs enough freedom of movement when playing. This stage design provides an easy setup with ordered cable routing and the possibility to secure instruments and other stuff. Furthermore, this bigband experience is no longer just about the sound but also about the view. We wanted to integrate the mood which is associated with jazz into the design of the stage, paying close attention to the needs of the musicians.

MODULARITY The stage is setup with commonly used stage elements, the T-slot provides easy securing of the tubing and snaps for add-ons.

The main function of the tubing is to collect electrical cables for sound, monitors, etc.

They can easily be dismounted for conveying.

The tubes with integrated light strip offer an industrial looking whole which distracts the attention from disturbing elements on the stage.

PROTOTYPING The functionality of the stage was tested through prototyping in order to demonstrate modularity, connections, add-ons, cable routing, etc.

FOLDING METHOD

SIDE VIEW

The wheels are aligned when folded.

The seatpost can be dropped to minimize the total size and is used as a bike stand to keep the bicycle upright when placed somewhere.

hinges

The bike folds together by the overlapping of 3 zones of the frame separated by 2 hinges.

This folding system provides a portable construction of the bike when folded. The wheels magnetically attach to each other and are rolling side by side offering a very stable construction.

Thanks to the ‘z-folding’ system the rotation direction of the front and rear wheel remains the same as when riding the bike, this way parts can’t get stuck while rolling the bike in contrast to many other folding bikes that need to be carried and can’t be rolled. The bigger 26 inch wheels provide a comfortable and fast ride while making the construction not too small, the easy to reach handlebars prevent the owner from bending down when handling the folded bike. The bike is pushed in front of the owner leaving enough freedom of movement in order to avoid contact between legs and bike while walking.

TOP VIEW SIDE

PROTOTYPING

The folding principles were prototyped starting from existing bicycles. The final prototype exists of a foam model that was laminated with fibre glass to increase strength and reduce the weight of the bike.

PURPOSE Colo-Fast® spray technology allows the production of instrument panels and door panels in one-piece large surface modules with integrated bottom parts and seamless surface.

Nowadays, other materials and technologies are available which are more appropriate for the production of instrument panels. Recticel, the company that pattented Colo-Fast® still want to make use of this technology and is searching for new applications where it can be implemented in.

ALTERNATIVE APPLICATION After research, it turned out that it could be interesting to use this technology for the production of changing pads.

Common changers bring along some problems. They’re mostly just pillows with raised sides which make them cheap, but not perfectly suitable for this job. Its surface absorbs wet really easy whereby you have to use towels and wash them all the time.

The changers themselves are not really washable, they get dirty and therefore have to be replaced quite often.

PAMPER DESIGN The shape of this changing pad doesn’t differ that lot from pieces in car’s instrument panels, they can be produced using the Colo-Fast® spray technology.

Tightly designed changing pad with lots of advantages compared to nowadays changers: an easy cleaning surface, antislip back, ruler,...

This changing pad is not longer a disposable product, it’s a nicely designed changer and that is perfectly suited for its purpose. It’s durable and can be used for different babies through many years. The Colo-Fast skin can be cleaned very easy, it is chemically resistant and waterproof. The back which is also made from the same skin is, in contrast with common changers, antislip which prevents the changer from moving away while changing diapers. Besides the raised sides which ensure the position of the baby and prevent him from falling off the pad, there is a ‘safety belt’ which makes it easier to change diapers when the baby is really energetic and doesn’t want to stay on the pad. The arms and shoulders are fixed unpainfull which makes it very hard to counteract. The ruler that is integrated in the surface makes it possible to follow the growth of the baby during the first months of its lifetime.

GHENT LIGHT FESTIVAL 2015 The Ghent Light Festival is organised every three years. During this event big buildings are highligthed in the city of Ghent with projects of international light artists. There is a lot of other animation next to these bigger projects, of course all of them involving light. For one of these side projects we were asked to create a game that demonstrates the speed of light and entertains the visitors.

LIGHT IS FAST...300 000 KILOMETERS PER SECOND this is in one second...

7 times around the world 25 times back and forth from ghent to new york

360 times back and forth to ISS

BUT SOMETIMES NOT FAST ENOUGH...

MOON 380 000 kilometer 1,28 seconds

SPEED OF LIGHT

Light is fast, very fast. When turning on a switch or flashlight, objects or walls get immediately lightened, it is impossible to observe any delay between light leaving the source and reaching an object. Light is the fastest moving phenomenon in the whole universe, it travels at almost 300 000 kilometer per second! Moving at this speed means you’re able to turn 7 times around the world in just 1 second. But still, the speed of light is limited.

This becomes clear when observing the time gap between planets and stars that are very far from one another. Light coming from the sun for example needs to travel 8 minutes and 20 seconds before it reaches the earth, due to the big distance between earth and sun. This isn’t a problem for us human people, though it can become a problem when communicating with spacecrafts and satelites that move in space. The communication signals that are transmitted from earth to space travel at the speed of light. This means that for example a robot on the moon receives a command only 1,28 seconds after is was sent from earth. It is clear that this delay can cause difficulties when communicating with objects in space that are even further away.

THE LIMITED SPEED OF LIGHT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO COMMUNICATE WITH ROBOTS IN SPACE THE GAME In the game that we created the visitors have to control a space vehicle on the moon. They are controlling the vehicle from the earth and need to fulfill some actions while taking into account a delay due to the limited speed of light. The purpose of the game is to let the vehicle stop on some lightened areas that were placed on the moon surface. Only two commands were possible, drive and stop, but still difficult enough if you realise that the visitors needed to think ahead and estimate where the vehicle would be after a certain time. Of course, people in space offices aren’t able to look on the moon surface from that far, they need a computer screen. That’s why the visitors actions were made on base of an image of the vehicle on the moon using a computer screen. This means doubled delay, because the signal needs to be sent back to earth.

DESIGN FOR EVERYONE The problem is worldspread and therefore a burden for many disabled people. That’s why we created a completely DIY solution that can easily be prototyped by anyone else who wants to make use of this idea.

The production proces can be found on www.instructables.com.

PROBLEM DEFINITION

LEASH SYSTEM SOLUTION

Many people with spasms need to be in wheelchairs due to poor coordination of the muscles in their limbs.

With the help of an assistance dog they can become more independent and are even able to leave the house for groceries.

The dog is then attached to the wheelchair to accompy its disabled owner.

Unfortunately, spastic people often have such a poor hand functioning that they aren’t able to attach their dog to the wheelchair, neither to detach him when coming home. Again, someone else is needed to execute this easy operation.

We created a solution in which the operation can be done by the owner and dog themselves.

The dog can attach himself to the wheelchair by putting his head through the loop of the leash followed by a small jump to unlock the ball from the ‘leash box’. When walking around the leash tensions around the dogs head.

To detach from the wheelchair, the dog needs to grab the ball and throw it in the ‘leash box’, if now the dog slightly pulls with his head, the leash looses tension and the dog is able to pull out his head and freely walk around.

The leash is now connected to the wheelchair and the action can be done all over again.

The principle is clearly shown in the video link below.

INSPRIRATION The pecil sharpener is working in the same way as a beaver felling a tree in order to make a dam. The beaver’s sharp teeth allow him to bite the trunk in a V shape while turning around it. This efficient way of felling a tree is applied to the pencil sharpener. The pencil doesn’t rotate but the blades are turning around it like a beaver while cutting it into a V.

FUNCTIONALITY A new full length pencil is placed in the sharpener, resulting into two half length pencils with a tip after doing one operation.

Used pencils with a blunt tip can again be sharpened by inserting it from above into the sharpener.

Very fast sharpening of the pencil is possible due to 2 blades cutting on each side of the pencil during 1 single rotation. The high rotational speed ensures a nicely finish of the tip. Excess material is removed by sucking it through holes behind the blades leading it to a bin at the bottom of the sharpener.

SUBDIVISION MODELLING

SURFACE MODELLING

REVERSE ENGINEERING Creating a model when starting from a rough form or shape is called reverse engineering. The rough shape can be obtained by 3D scanning a product. This way it becomes easier to model complex parts because there are no exact dimensions needed anymore.

32

PORTFOLIO KORNEEL DE VIAENE

SUBDIVISION MODELLING Subdivision modelling is a technique in which a model is created by deforming a basic shape as for example a sphere. The shape is deformed by stretching it at specific points and areas to finally become the model you want. In this case, a kind of hairdryer was obtained starting from a beam.

RENDERING Every part of a metabo tilting saw was modelled using Siemens NX and afterwards rendered with 3ds Max to create a realistic image of the tool.

CYCLING AND VIBRATIONS The example demonstrates why vibrations are generated when riding on bumpy roads.

A common cobblestone road is used to calculate the frequency of the vibrations when cycling at different speeds. Logically, the higher the speed of the cyclist, the higher the generated frequency.

The cyclists body suffers from these vibrations. It’s been proven that the human body is susceptible to vibrations between 0,5 and 80 Hz. These frequencies are generated when riding on those cobblestone roads. Exposure to these vibrations can cause health problems and muscle fatigue.

EFFECT ON CYCLIST Not only cobblestone roads have bad influence on the biker’s performance, cyclist are suffering from vibrations all the time. The effect is mostly not that bad as when riding on cobblestones, but they can also cause quicker muscle fatique and when exposed to them for a longer time. Even when riding on poor tarmac roads, fatigue of the cyclist is induced after only 40 minutes.

It’s clear that it can be interesting to explore for solutions to tackle these problems caused by riding on bumpy roads.

IDEA GENERATION The fact that a bike is builded with two wheels, one in the front and one in the rear make wheels really interesting parts to make changes to the flexibility of the whole bike.

Another big winner of this concept is the fact that wheels are directly in contact with the ground. This makes it possible to absorb vibrations before they actually can run through the frame. This way of thinking is explained in the figure below, where the hub concept is compared with the idea of a flexible stem.

An overview of the pro’s of this concept is given below: • early shock absorbing • damping in front and rear • compatibility (wheels can be exchanged) • lightweight construction • customazation (different elastomers to fit the rider’s weight) • ergonomics, the cyclist’s bike position doesn’t change

the vibrations transmitted to frame and fork are reduced

vibrations are running through the frame unreduced

The final concept is about a bicycle hub in which an elastomer is integrated. The elastomer fits in between the classical hub and a flange to which the spokes are attached. An elastomer is a kind of rubber that bounces back after compression. In this concept, the elastomer provides some flexibility between the rim and hub and can therefore absorb shocks and road buzz.

TESTING The prototype was tested during rides on cobblestone roads. The test was done with a common wheel and the prototype in a way to make a comparison possible. A sensor which measures accellerations was attached to the quick-release of both wheels, afterwards their frequency pattern could be plotted in the same graph to analyze differences between them.

The amplifications peak for frequencies of 20 Hz in the curves of both wheels.

Same behaviour for frequencies lower than 20 Hz and higher than 50 Hz. These frequencies are not that important because they do not occur a lot.

The classic wheel seems to damp vibrations better for frequencies between 20 and 25 Hz. The prototype clearly damps vibrations better for frequencies between 25 and 50 Hz.

This test is a proof of concept of the vibration damping bicycle hub. The idea might work well, but it’s for sure that further testing and prototyping is needed.

COMPARISON WITH COMPETITORS

The most compatible products, which are the stem and seat post can easily be installed on other bikes. Unfortunately, their performance is not splendid.

The performance can be derived from weight, comfort and bike position. The stem and seat post do not offer a full-suspension system but reduce vibrations for just one single body part. Furthermore, they make changes to the cyclist’s bike position when flexing, this is not realy desired when riding the bike. In that case, the Zertz and Isospeed score much better, they’re lightweight and offer a full damped bike. But unfortunately, these are integrated systems in specific bicycles and can’t be exchanged.

The bike hub differentiates itself from its competitors in the combination of comfort and compatibility. They offer a full-suspension solution (front and rear wheel) and can easily be exchanged within different bikes.
