Design Challenge: To take both sturdy and easy disassembly into account, the design of structure must satisfy both. More than that,3D printing cannot reach the strength of plastic and tenacity are different too. By adjusting data repeatedly, the team tried and made many mistakes and finally came up with a good solution.
Research: Type of research: Sustainable structure and materials of suitcase. Research Objectives: Create a sustainability suitcase, designed for assembly and disassembly. Methodology: Suitcase type analysis, Suitcase material analysis, Suitcase recycle status analysis. Data Collection: market research of usage scenario, hobbies, frequency of us and repair willingness. Research tools: Solid Works, Rhino, Keyshot. Impact: Disrupted the traditional way of suitcase manufacturing. Result: Provide a sustainability suitcase to benefit the world.
Inspiration: Suitcase were in great demand by global travelers, and the design are mainly on multi-function and sturdy, but also makes it difficult to recycle when discarded, every year hundred thousand of discarded luggage cause by damaged wheels, handles, shells or shells that are deformed or damaged by collision, hard to be repaired or disassemble for recycle, bringing great impact to the environment.
