Product Design -Woofer

I have been thinking about a personal project for a while. Finally I stopped thinking about it and started taking action.

Objective here is to make a product that has got certain features to catch the eye of the people(mission statement). I wanted to start with something very simple and very common in the market.

I started with a very old damaged Woofer kept somewhere in the trash.

I have decided to put an aesthetically better front cover with additional features. Overall size of the woofer remains the same.

I started capturing the existing design in Creo, the latest release of PTC Creo Elements known as ProE before.

  I made a few concepts and selected one for the final design.

I did some tweaking in the final concept and finally made a rough 3d model in Alias Studio  to have a feel of the final design. This model was rendered in Showcase to get a better image.

Front cover will be made by 3D printing (Rapid prototyping).

Will continue……..

My sketchbook renderings

Hello All , after a short break I am back. Please see a few of my rendering work.

Now or Never

Time to think about conserving the mother nature has exceeded. Now the time is to act on it.

Exponentially increasing  demand of human population has brought a situation of sucking the natural resources to the fullest. Over and above, the third world countries like India has a major role
in the contribution of "Environmental Pollution".
I live in a city called Bangalore in India, highly
populated city.

Vehicles burn gallons of petrol in the hectic traffic here. I don't know the level of particulates in the air and I don't believe(I don't trust ) the numbers provided.
I used to see exhausts emitting black smoke.

How a product interact with its environment during its life and after life? The products we design will have an impact on the environment where it works.

I would like to share a Book titled EARTH, INC. by Gregory Unruh, he talks about using nature's

rule to build sustainable profits.

Follow natures rule, stop dumping toxic materials that are not environmental friendly.

He talks about making sustainable profits by following the rules of biosphere.

I think as a designer, this book is worth spending your time.
