About The Board Rulŝipo

La Board estas faldebla rulŝipo desegnita por facila transporto kaj konservado. La tabulo estas farita el 57 interligitaj pivotaj ĉarniroj. Faldante la ĉarnirojn en unu direkto aŭ la alia, la klasika krozila formo transformiĝas en perfektan cirklon. En la cirkla formo, La Board eniras en dorsosakon kaj povas esti tenata en mallarĝaj spacoj aŭ montrata kiel dekoracia objekto hejme. Aluminio, fero kaj plasto estas uzataj en la konstruado. La transforma procezo donas al la desegno klaran vidan allogon.

Design Challenge
Biggest challenges was manufacturing its complex dynamic structure and is considering open-sourcing the design as a DIY kit for 3D printers.
Research
Transformation is not just the change in appearance, but also the consideration of factors such as space, time, and circumstance to strengthen the purpose of transformation and the psychological level. In today’s product design, in order to make transformable products satisfy the users’ need, the designers usually introduce the transformable features to make them easy to carry and multifunctional simultaneously.
