Designing Inclusivity: Redefining Bottle Openers for Motor Accessibility
Meticulously designed for individuals with motor disabilities like Parkinson's and arthritis. Combining ergonomic finesse with user-friendly practicality, innovation challenges the status quo. Crafted to be 3D printed in polypropylene, it champions both durability and sustainability. This project aims not only to revolutionize the functionality of bottle cap openers but also to empower users, fostering independence through a thoughtful, inclusive design.
The project was meticulously crafted with an emphasis on user-friendly design, featuring strategically placed hand slots and lightweight perforations. Its conical interior, equipped with specially designed fins, ensures a secure grip on caps of varying sizes, facilitating effortless bottle opening and closing.
Calculations to ensure quality.
In every engineering project, products must undergo a comprehensive study for their correct and efficient use. The applied mathematical analysis played a crucial role in ensuring that the component is optimized to its fullest potential.
Analytical methods to prove functionality
A comprehensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation was performed to scrutinize the material, geometry, and conceptual characteristics. This thorough examination confirmed that the selected elements not only met but excelled in fulfilling the requirements of the intended application, ensuring a robust and reliable solution.
Meticulous application of the most precise mesh mode was employed to ensure rigorous treatment of the geometry. Fixed points, along with applied forces and torques, underwent careful consideration. The goal was to replicate reality as closely as possible, demanding meticulous assessment of all aspects to achieve accurate and reliable results.
