Ines [Furniture accessories] Partners

Abstract Tools Phases

The project concerns the design of a waste bin with a folding mechanism. The object was designed to appear soft and simple, as well as easy to use and adaptable to the user’s needs. The conjugation of these keywords gave rise to Ines, the stackable container, which has a structure inside the bin that can be modulated by the user, who can choose how much space to use for his or her waste. An alternative use of Ines is as a basket for toys, or even as a laundry basket.

Zero2 [Healthcare items] Partners

Abstract Tools Phases

The Zero2 innovatively solves the problem of oxygen wastage during oxygen therapy for patients with chronic respiratory failure.

Thanks to an accurate control of the fluctuations of haemoglobin in the blood, the pulse oximeter will be able to define the right amount of oxygen the patient needs at that moment and will display, through the use of luminous LEDS, a very simple flow adjustment command. In this way the user will be alerted in case of excessive/low flow and can adjust it.

Sollievo is a portable elastomer infuser designed to be used during cancer pain therapy. The device is divided into two components: the case (used to contain the painkiller) and the uber needle (with electronic flow control guaranteed by MP6 Micropump). The new electronic configuration has made it possible to give an innovative shape to the object, compared to the common elastomeric pump, thanks to an ergonomic study aimed at improving both the grip and the transportability by the patient.

Eyease is a portacath that allows longlasting venous access for patients requiring continuous, long-term infusions (e.g. chemotherapy/pain therapy). The redesign of the R8 class III device (implantable, long-term drug delivery) meant that the port had a smaller volume (making it less invasive). In addition, the use of hydrogel makes it possible to reduce the amount of drug stored inside the silicone housing (which would otherwise stagnate). Abstract

Master degree thesis

Abstract

If the icon is a fortuitous occurrence, are there any factors that can help determine its creation or recognition as such? My thesis investigated the motives that can influence the recognition of an iconic object. In a first part, I gathered extensive documentation on the concept of icon, through the study of literature and the analysis of critical and commodity success factors of design products. Another important tool to deepen the topic was to develop a series of interviews and case studies that allowed me to fill in the gaps left by the literature. This made it possible to compose a critical reading grid capable of shedding light on the complexity of the topic. The answer to my thesis question is thus given by the set of factors and roles, circumscribed within the critical reading grid, at work in determining the recognition of an iconic product. However, icon recognition cannot in any way be predicted by the grid itself.

Indeed, the icon may be recognised as such in a forthcoming social context (thus taking into account an additional temporal variable) if ever its values succeed in representing the society of its era in a sufficiently synthetic and direct manner and, if ever, the object succeeds in being interpreted in a correct and coherent manner by the forthcoming observer.

High school teaching course

Description

This course was created with the intention of bringing high school students closer to the world of design, making them experience first-hand the design methodology used by designers during their work. The objective was to lead the students (divided into teams) to the generation of a product system capable of innovating their school. The lessons were divided into:

× Theoretical lessons on tools and notions useful for good design, and to learn about the history of basic design

× Classroom reviews/workshops with presentations of the design phases by the students.

Product system

The product system relates to the world of technology, society and environment:

× Exchange value

× Relation value

× Value of use

3D MODELING

Projects from Modeling programs

Program Evaluating

The first part of the reverse engineering process starts from the component analysis (material and production process). This analysis will be useful to identify the manufacturing guidelines, which give us certain indications that the piece will follow (Ex: plastic injection molding - constant thickness) thus providing us with the first data for the drawing.

Phases

Technical drawings

Once you know the production method and the material used, you can start with technical drawings. To do this it is useful to use tools, such as the caliber. However, the complexity of this component lies in the curves, which, in order to be represented, must be divided into points and then calculated the distance of them from a fixed reference.

Surface modeling

Once all the orthogonal views have been represented, and also the assessments on the interlocking parts (drawn on the table through the use of sections) have been made, all that remains is to use the lines drawn to reproduce the 3D model of the object analyzed. For the representation of the latter, having a very soft shape, we opted for a modeling for surfaces: in order to provide a continuity of shape between the various components.

Program Evaluating

Phases

Genesis assembly 04

The evaluation and the initial study were conducted on the race motorcycle belonging to the Politecnico of Milan team. The request was to redesign the rear part of the motorcycle, in particular: the fork, the saddle and the footrests. Being careful that there was no interference in the kinematics.

(Ex: chain - swingarm)

To model the swingarm components, based on the standard model, must start using the “Publish geometry” command. Once published on the new Part, these copied geometry can be used as a basis for modeling, or through surfaces or via solids (the program allows the use of both), the new component.

Kinematic assembly

Once the Genesis assembly has been modeled (static), another assembly must be made to have the possibility of movement: Kinematic assembly. Within the kinematic assembly, the individual components of which we want movement must be constrained by movement constraints (axial translation, rotation, etc.), defining the limits of the movement itself. In this way we can see the realistic movement of the rear wheel.

Program Evaluating

The evaluation of this component was made starting from competitors already on the market. Through research, we have understand the geometric relationships to be maintained (between hollow area, occupied by the pattern, and full area), as well as having an indepth view on the possible materials to be used.

Phases

Solid modeling

Once understood the geometric constraints to respect, we had to shape the component to ensure that it was compatible with our project. The project in question is an air conditioner and the piece taken into analysis is its air outlet. The main complexity was the pattern design, due to the constrain to have 60% of the face free for a correct air flow

For the component, an individual analysis was carried out by inserting the constraints and forces acting on each of them; obtained the analyzes we verified both that the condition.

oymax < oy/K was respected for each component, whether the measured deflections were suitably contained.

Rendering Laboratory Group

Program Measuring

3D Inventor CAD software offers professional tools for mechanical design, documentation and 3D product simulation. We used it for the creation of 2 different family of bionycles (LEGO).

We started by cataloging and measuring the pieces one by one through the use of the caliber.

Phases

IFeatures

For iFeature we mean a machining or a group of processes that can be saved and reused in other projects. You can create an iFeature from an iPart or a group of features useful for other designs.

The Extract iFeature option allows you to extract a sketch work or sketch and save it in a catalog to be able to reuse it.

Solid modeling

Starting from the simple volumes of the single parts we have faithfully reported the measurements of the pieces with 1/4 mm approximations. To realize the head, given the great presence of complex and articulated geometries we had to use many lofts and extrusions in negative, working in symmetry. Being a fairly singular piece it was not possible to use ifeatures during the piece modeling. Rendering

Alias offers tools for creating sketches, conceptual modeling, surface creation and visualization for industrial, vehicle and product design. We used it for the creation of the Gillette model starting from these canvases drawn on Illustrator after the detailed measurement of the object.

Phases

Surface modeling

In the first phase we started working on the sections, dividing the model into two trunks. We have joined the sections with curves that placed in continuity of tangency between them to reflect the desired shape. Once the surfaces were obtained, we immediately realized that the front part created tensions.

So we decided to cut the surface near the beginning of the front head creating a new section to be used for the creation of the latter. Once we got to the created head, we started adding details giving priority to the shape details of the main surfaces. Arrived at a quantity of detail deemed acceptable, we divided the surfaces of the model for materials and thus be able to start the rendering phase on Keyshot.
