As part of our internal development, we have tested the Sprint Design methodology (initiated by Google Ventures): a 5-day process to answer critical questions through design, prototyping and testing. Although the method is ideal for UI-UX and software dev. we found it to be a very interesting tool for industrial design.
The briefing: a device to open doors, locks and touch buttons without human contact to avoid the fast spread of the Covid-19.
Each of the following designs offer a set of advantages depending on your environment and needs:
DROP_the hook for public transport
ESSE_the hook for large heavy doors
FOLD_for grocery shopping
PINCH_for those who need to pick up paper or a mask
to get it 3d printed, we recommend using treatstock.co.uk , it is a platform were you can find people around your area to 3d print the piece. It usually costs about 4 to 6 Euros. Use PLA with 100% fill.
