Portfolio
This project consisted of rapid prototyping using wool insulation and cardboard to create the most sustainable and viable option for expiable food transport. The final solution minimized waste in the system by tweaking all aspects of the distribution chain.
PACKAGING SOLUTION
Sustainable Food Packaging
Material Testing
Experimentation of biodegradable plastic is recycled wool in different assembly methods
Rapid Prototyping
Laser cutting cardboard nets to explore material-efficient methods without the use of adhesives.
Final Model
Producing a final 1:1 model allowed for testing and better engagement with the client.
PLANET PROTECTOR
PACKAGING
This industry project conducted with Planet Protector used applied a new design to an intricate existing system.
Along with establishing a successful product the Woolcool project entailed developing a full system solution. This involved the manufacture, assembly, and delivery of the product to wool cool, their clients, and the clients' users. The system solution is outlined in the graphics to the right. This visual representation of the system was tailored to wool cool needs.
PACKAGING SOLUTION
SYSTEM SOLUTION
Understanding Stakeholders. Stakeholders are more than just the end-user. Establishing an easier and more efficient production line for manufacturers and fabricators is extremely valuable to a client. I established this during regular meetings and presentations with the client.
We emulated the actual manufacture process that would be used in the intended production process by the fabricator. The video to the left is documentation of the CNC cutting process of the net of the external cardboard box. In the intended fabrication a custom cardboard cutting machine.
MANUFACTURE
TECHNICAL DRAWINGS
Along with the CAD, I also completed a net of the cardboard box that I sent to suppliers for quotes. Due to the level of detail, I was able to receive time and cost quotes from these companies in under a day.
