Ark is a ladder specially designed for kids between 3 and 12, for every time they need to reach their toys. The challenge for this product was to design a one piece ladder and do it in one process for economy and low weight.
The goal was reached with a product that can be manufactured by Rotational Molding of dust polyethylene and only have a mass of 1,5 kg. Other challenge was to optimize the product for a load of 1500N, because this product can be subject by a adult and for the safety factor.
Thanks to the ISDX (Interactive Surface Design Extension) extension of Pro/ENGINEER it was easy do this and later could pass in seconds the iterations to Pro/Mechanica continuously until arriving at a satisfactory result.
