2. As a technically minded and creative
person I enjoy all aspects of product
design, particularly the ability to work
on a design from scratch and see it
through to the final result. I enjoy both
digital and physical modelling, and
experimenting with different shapes
and form to come up with the desired
result.

4. For my final year project I am making a printer that
produces braille and tactile diagrams.
The goal of this project is to bridge the social gap
between children with visual impairment and sighted
children. Furthermore, teaching children about braille as
they play together.
Brint

5. Result
Noise
Quality
Size
Quantity
The average noise level of Brint when
printing is 55.3db, which is lower than
80db of existing braille embossers.
Feedback from user testing shows that
the braille produces on Brint is highly
readable and the readability is greater
than embossed braille. Older people
with reduced sensitivity can also feel
the dots.
The size of the Brint is 100mm(Height) x
509mm(Width) x 411 (Depth) and has
a greater footprint than a modern A4
ink-printer.
Each cartridge contains 60ml of paint.
Calculated from test results, each
cartridge can print up to 200 pages of
braille before it runs out of paint. Hence,
each page of braille will only cost 0.8p
to produce, whereas embosser paper
will cost 7p per sheet (currently the
cheapest method of producing Braille
at home).
200

6. The design ethos is to produce a high quality product
with minimal costs. Therefore, the product will be made
to order and manufactured in house to maintain
high quality control. The turnaround time is 3 weeks
maximum from receiving the order to completing the
assembly, this includes the shipping of components, 3D
printing and laser cutting. Other factors such as delivery
distance and number of orders will increase the delivery
time.
Production
Plotter mechanism in the printer
controls the X-axis and Y-axis and is
driven by 2 stepper motors.
The servo raise and lower the nozzle
to control the deposition of the paint.
Brint is designed for low volume
production. 3D printing is an ideal
process for producing complicated
mechanical components of this scale
of production.

Testing
“For a printer that can do this £800 sounds alright to me
and it uses standard paper and acrylic from the shop
which is great! You can only get braille paper online,
but for this you can just go out and buy some.”
- Dave

9. The aim was to design an easy clean potato masher to
be taken to Kickstarter for crowd funding. The project
was a means of marketing for Mind Sketch. The potato
masher is intended to be playful and have a friendly
appearance, encouraging the user to display it when
not in use.

Features
This project was very different to any other projects
I completed in the past because it included crowd
funding and marketing which I had never came across
before.
Role-
I was the lead designer of this
project, whilst my manager
provided guidance on the
development. Additionally, I was
also in charge of the marketing.

14. Tolerance issues such as material thickness, component
alignment and edge profiles were troublesome but are
able to be overcome with practical skills such as wood
working.

15. As a team of 5 we had to design a product for Robot
Bike Co. The product or the technology used has to be
viable within 3-5 years time
The goal of the brief is to expand their current market
and get media coverage in order for more people to
know about their bespoke mountain-bike frame tailored
to the user.

16. The data captured by the pressure sensors will be used
to optimise the foam structure in the saddle (red).
The foam structure will be made using 3D printed
polyurethane.

“A poorly fitting bike saddle can cause pain which, at
best, is uncomfortable, and at worst, could have long
term effect, both on and off the bike.”

17. The pattern is a decal applied to the leather. The user
can choose to have their name or logo printed instead.

18. Within a number of weeks time we are expected to
learn to use Grasshopper 3D (plug-in for Rhinoceros
5). Our brief was to use generative design to create a
family of elegant test tube vases together.
As a team, we decided on setting the test tube at a 15°
angle from vertical as a challenge.

Changing the parameters in the grasshopper definition
result in a different outcome. Users can customise the
model based on their individual preference.
FDM 3D-printing is destined
for producing the prototype
model, therefore, a number of
requirements have to be met
during the design process.
• Generative design -

• Identifying design and
manufacturing constraints
• Designed for 3D-printing,

21. Following the “Test-tube Vase” project, we then tried
to apply generative design to products for mass
manufacturing.
The goal of this project was to create a plant pot that
grows with the plant.
The target market was aimed at both plant retailers and
their customers who wish to purchase an affordable,
innovative and attractive design.
Crease
Generative design - Origami plant pot
Origami is one of my hobbies. I sometimes find it
challenging to learn and often need practice to
become adept. However, it is very rewarding and
fulfilling to finally see the outcome.

22. Explore further into the retailing aspect of this project, I
discover that the Hexagonal profile consume less space
than square, triangle or circular (current design) which
benefits both retail and transportation.
Existing plant pots are often
cumbersome and awkward to
store of shelve because of their
shape.

• Implement origami into product
design and packaging design.
• Efficient shelving and
transporting arrangement.
• Expandable design reduces
the need of re-potting.
Achievements

23. Unfold the origami design into a flat sheet using
Grasshopper 3D to prepare for prototyping and
manufacturing.
Use rotary-die-cutter to cutting and create score lines
on the Polypropylene sheets.
The corner sections (highlighted
green) are joined together using
adhesive. This process is commonly
used in the packaging industry
along with folding sheet material.

The cut polypropylene sheets can be flat pack and
stack ready for distribution. Large quantities can be
stored and shipped efficiently.
Generative design is not only able to
simplify and accelerate the design
process, but also simulates the folds,
to show dynamic movement.
