About Changer Valigia

Changer è una valigia ridimensionabile pensata per i viaggiatori le cui esigenze di capienza cambiano da un viaggio all'altro. Il guscio è composto da più strati di rivestimento annidati l'uno nell'altro. Nello stato compatto, Changer funge da piccolo trolley che può essere portato a bordo dell'aereo. Ruotando la manopola posta sul frontale si sbloccano le sezioni interne, che vengono estratte per formare una valigia di grandi dimensioni; riportando la manopola nella posizione iniziale si blocca la dimensione selezionata. Il corpo è realizzato principalmente in plastica ABS e PC, mentre i quattro angoli sono rivestiti in alluminio per garantirne la protezione.

Production Technology: Mainly using ABC+PC material, impact resistance, high hardness, strong toughness, cheap price. The four corners are covered with aluminum metal for protection.
Design Challenge: This is an innovative design with a complex internal structure, and the machining qualification rate is the biggest challenge encountered by this project.
Research: According to research, people usually buy more than two suitcases to meet different travel needs. When they go on business trips, they tend to carry a small suitcase. When families travel, they often carry large luggage. This can cause a lot of unnecessary waste. There is a great market demand to solve this problem.
Inspiration: I was inspired by the way the armor was stacked. Our motivation for designing changer was the experience of travel. The size of luggage you need to carry on a trip is different for everyone. Sometimes it can be carried around, and sometimes it needs to store a lot of things. So, we wanted to integrate the large and small luggage. We want to design a luggage that could be resized.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2020 in Milan and finished in February 2021 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2021.
Operation Flow: First, it works just fine as a normal small box. Then, when you need to carry large items, turn the knob on the front and move all the inner parts. Third, pull out all the inner parts and this small luggage becomes a big one. Fourth, turn back the knob in the opposite direction to lock the suitcase. In this way, changer can be fixed without transformation.
