Siemens mobility

Brief:

Can we, by improving the dining/catering facilities on board, enhance the general experience of travellers using the train, or even make travelling by train more attractive to the general public as an alternative to other forms of transportation?

Idea generation

The Idea:

survey:

• A belt system for luggage
• can be dragged out from the trains walls
• the belt can be unlocked with the travellers ticket

People do not feel safe leaving their luggage unattended going to the bistro

• Seats are the main selling point for trains

• Lockers won't work as there is not enough space on the train
• something is needed that works for all sizes of luggage

Requirement:

The solution has to be space efficient and universal

Done by another group of students

Idea generation/concept development:

Forming groups:

Descision making:

We collected Ideas in a miro board and formed groups with similar ideas

Concept development

Realisation

I made this storyboard to visualize the process of using the dining robot. The storyboard was to communicate to the client how the robot would work from start to finish

Conclusion

What went well?

• communication between the group members

• Meeting attendance
• crazy 8
• the work was split up well

What could be improved?

• variety of my input
• I started to specific with the belt system
• building a prototype would have been good

La Farola

brief

Develop a new customer experience by creating a new furniture library that somehow restrict our customers choices, but still have that bespoke air to it

Orientation and research

Requirements:

• comfortable place sizes, since La Farolas products are luxurious
• 4 seat table for average household size of 3,6 in Bolivia
• standard table height is 76 cm
• 74cm, since the avg height in Bolivia is <160cm

The table has to be 74cm tall and has to hold at least 6 seats

Idea generation

• a modular table system with custom legs
• parts can be preproduced and then put together however the client wants it

• I gathered other students who wanted to work on a modular dining table and we formed a group
• We created a moodboard to present our ideas and inspiration to the client

• I made a grid where the team can put their work

Concept development

flaws with the current design:

• the table legs take away legspace on the table ends
• the legs could be more filigree
• can the tableplate hold enough weight?

Princess traveller

Brief

Design a suitcase or bag with additional functions that makes life easier(or just for fun) for travellers during their trips

Project planning

Orientation and research

• I did research on travel restrictions for suitcases
• I documentated my research in google docs
• I tried to make the research more accesible by making a color coded overview in miro for my peers

Research

Requirements:

Our ideas have to follow these airport restrictions

Idea generation

Crazy 8 to get a variety of ideas:

Detailed sketch

Client thank you gift

Brief:

Create an alternative client gift to the usual whine bottle that is also representative for the IDE study programme

Concept development

The idea:

• a keyholder/multitool
• IDE logo will be engraved
• we decided to design something that is useful for the client

Reworked prototype:

1st prototype by Davide Fogazza

• wood part replaced by metal for more stability
• make the multitool more comfortable in pockets
• Easy to produce by lasercutting

Building the prototype

Preparing the plates:

Deburring the holes using a special drill so there is no debris and the screws fit nicely

Drilling the holes using a drill head thats slightly bigger than the screws we are using

Marking where the holes should go on the metal plates

Lasercut prototype:

Testing and validating

• We lasercut a more advanced version of our prototype
• We tested if the bottleopener could create enough force to open a bottle
• the bottle opener did not work right away so we made adjustments

• we sanded the tip off the bottle opener so it could fit under the bottles cap
• the bottle opener worked after making said adjusmtent which can be seen in the following video

Sketching lessons

4th sketching lesson: I learned how to draw a simple 3D object using technical drawings

2nd sketching lesson: I learned how to draw cubes following the basic rules of 2 point perspective

3rd sketching lesson: I learned how to draw ellipses and a torus in 2 point perspective

1st sketching lesson: I learned how to use different lineweights when sketching

6th sketching lesson: I learned how to construct basic round objects in perspective

5th sketching lesson: I learned how to draw a more complex object using technical drawings

Productober/sketching practice

I asked duncan for feedback and did the sketch again to see how much I could improve

Other efforts

Show and grow Feedback

Planning the 1st show and grow:

Other efforts

assesment plan

• I made an excel file to plan what I am going to do each day until the assesment
• The sheet is color coded and includes important deadlines I have to meet
• At the end of each week I check the rubrics to see what I have left to do and plan the next week according to that

Fusion 360

Kyra Heynen did a dialogue session on Fusion 360 which I followed along
