The Wheelchair lift
- Autumn 2014 -
This project is dedicated to designing a lift for a wheelchair, based on the principles of a bike lift. Furthermore, the project is dedicated to redesigning a wheelchair, so that these two products are capable of interacting with each other. The process is based on analysis and registrations of existing products, from which specific elements
are defined and combined in the designs of the lift and wheelchair. Besides analysis and registrations, the lift is based on calculations, which confirms the durability. The results of the analysis, registrations, and calculations are combined in a lift construction, which is supposed to help the consumer transport the wheelchair on top of a car.
My area of responsibility
As in all other projects we work together in the early phases of the project. To get the team aligned. This means that some smaller tasks will be divided out such as user mapping, competitor mapping, stakeholder mapping etc. Other tasks like ideation with sketching are done together.
Later on, bigger tasks were divided into smaller teams. This could be making the prototype, the 3D model or user testing.
Graphic design
Both report layout, illustrations and render refinement in the Adobe suite was my area.
Math​
This semester had focus on learning and understanding strength of materials. This became my area in this project.
