Industrial Design: Top Popper

For this class assignment focused on design thinking, I was asked to develop an ergonomic product solving a problem for the physically challenged. I created the top popper for those suffering from arthritis or other disabilities that lack the finger dexterity to open aluminum cans. It’s a prototype that works as a large push button, taking advantage of one’s upper body strength instead of relying on a single finger.

Software:  SolidWorks
Materials:  Dimension 3D Printer
