🔧The concept is to create a wireless charging stand with an automotive design approach.
📐The design goes through stages like ideation, sketching, prototyping, refining, and testing for ergonomics.
🖨️The parts are 3D printed using a resin 3D printer, allowing for accurate dimensions and high strength.
🧪Manufacturing constraints and feasibility are taken into consideration during the design process.
🔌The wireless charging stand incorporates Forge carbon and features a pad to hold the charger.
What materials are used in the wireless charging stand?
—The stand's front body is made from Forge carbon, the pad is made from flexible polyurethane, and the other components are either cast or directly 3D printed.
What is the main focus during the ideation process?
—The main focus during the ideation process is to generate rough sketches and variations to visualize the design concept.
How are ergonomic limitations addressed in the design?
—Ergonomic limitations are addressed by ensuring sufficient room for gripping and removing the phone, testing different angles, and considering user comfort.
What is the role of the resin 3D printer in the project?
—The resin 3D printer is used to prototype and print the final parts of the wireless charging stand, providing high dimensional accuracy and strength.
How is the manufacturing feasibility of the design ensured?
—The design takes into account manufacturing constraints, such as the use of a rigid mold for the front body and drafting angles for easy molding and assembly.
