Model Sketching on Fushion 360

Mobile phone dust cleaner

Body 1: Shell

First, I design a shell for the mobile phone dust cleaner, which needs to be able to wrap the blower machine, but also have a certain space for heat dissipation. The hole in the shell is used to let the wires of the blower machine to get out of the shell.

Body 2: Blower machine

In step two, I build a model of the gray box to represent the blower machine.

Body 3: Socket

Add a small port to the blowing machine to plug in your phone’s charging port.

Body 4: Add four feet at the bottom, and done with the sketch of phone dust cleaning machine.

 

Smart design and emotional design

The design method that the Smart design shown in the video is actually widely used in the world. Starting at the customers’ needs and feedback, which can give a clear direction on how and what to improve the products, can significantly improve efficiency. This is the first thing we can learn.

Emotional design is an important part of industrial design, cause the emotional connection can be one of the main reasons why customers choose this product. One point that I can really relate to is that using marks somehow brings the products and users closer. Also, the more thing you can customize, and interact with, the more emotional connection you have with the products.

What is industrial design?

To me, industrial design is creating a bond between the user and the product, it can turn even just a flash of our imaginations into concrete, physical objects that have practical use in real life. By using industrial design methods, we can also fix many daily inconveniences. It is, of course, a kind of art, but its uniqueness lies in its practical uses. They are fully engaged in life itself.  Distance is not needed to show its beauty. it is something you can touch, feel, and use. it has the full integrity to endure the trivialities in life so that it is deeply rooted in our daily lives. I think it is the most down-to-earth kind of art.

 

Non-problem idea designs–Application lab

Idea 1 

Every time when we try to change the water from the vase. we have to pull the whole bunch of flower out and flip the vase all over, which is not only
troublesome but also causes unnecessary damage to the flowers. With this
“Removable vase”, you can easily take off the bottom part of the vase, change the water, and then put it back. With the water level mark and the PH indicator, the bottom part of the vase is able to tell what is the best PH and amount of water for flowers, cause different kind of flowers needs a different amount of water.

Idea 2 

If you are currently using iPhone, then you must have experienced
“Charging not Available” before. So this “Mobile phone water absorber” is
designed to get the water out of the phone quickly.
This is more like a suction device, with a perfectly match-sized inlet just
as big as the iPhone charging port when the air the machine blows moves
fast, it brings out the water vapor.

Idea 3

This spray is designed for users to spray on plastic or metal to turn the smooth surface writable, so that people can use marker to write down label or notes.
material: probobaly quick-dry glue that can turn into a membrane.

Idea 4:

People who have the same hand-holding habit often have problems when holding hands with each other.
With this helping tool “hand in hand”, now we can comfortably hold each other’s hand in the position we want.
