6. ● Existing Products  Strong Arm $279.00  Axner Power Arm $349.00

7. Prototype ● The first few prototypes I had was with the wooden arm, but just with markings on it rather than cuts ● Also there was the cardboard version and the 3D Printed version

8. Testing ● Next I tested out the product on top of the first arm and found that the arm was too loose and the opening tool too Fixed with new wood, glued in with acrylic

9. Final Product ● The final product had both the opening tool finished out of wood and metal rod ● And the arm was sturdy in place

13. Researching the problem Requirements Cheap Practical size Durable Safe Ergonomic Portability Dishwasher-safe Restraints Money Space Materials (clean material for food) Able to use with one-hand to operate

14. Existing solutions  These are about $49.00  Also both are small sizes

15. Possible solutions A cutting board with adjustable clamps to hold food while they cut Attached knife that they could use with one hand A clamp like device to hold their food

16. Best Design  Our final decision is to go with a separate slider that go on the cutting board to use

17. Prototyping Phase ● The first prototypes I had included a stationary wall on one side of the cutting board with an adjustable slider

22. Researching the problem Requirements  Cost effective  Safe  Portable  Durable  Must have all articles  Adjustable Height  Aesthetics Restraints  Space (can’t be too big)  Time to make product  Easy-to-use

23. Possible Solutions  Separate small article of clothing they can try on and practice  A board that they can walk up to with the different articles of clothing

24. Best Solution ● The best solution we came up with was the portable board with the interchangeable article of clothes via Velcro

25. Prototype ● The first prototype was a cardboard cut- out with just the buttons on it and pvc for the stand

26. Testing ● We found that the board itself was not sturdy enough and the base was weak ● Cement for the base kept it steady ● Moving the pvc also helped keep the board straight

27. Final Product - For our final product I finished making the board sturdy and painted it for the aesthetics

28. Cost of Duplication Materials ● Plywood board ● Pvc Pipe ● Concrete ● Bucket ● Buttons, snaps, zippers ● Velcro Estimated Cost: $20
