Pebble: Magnetic Stapler
Redesigning alternate details of a product enhancing it function.
Pebble: Magnetic Stapler - Product Detailing
Project duration: 2 weeks
​
Mentor: Prof Avinash Shende
​
Individual project: Sagar Dabherao
​
Background: A course project focusing solely on the detailing of a product. The project included studying an existing product and understanding its working, mechanism, and design. And redesigning it with an alternate mechanism enhancing the functionality of the product.
​
Keywords: Product detailing, section drawing, mechanism, prototyping.
​
Tools used: Ergonomics, Procreate, Solidworks, Blender, 3D Printing.
Aim
The aim of the project was to design a paper stapler with alternate details.
* some details are hidden for project is under patent process.
