Sustainable Chair Design

Sustainable Chair Design (Jan 12-31, 2015)

For my MMAE 232 class (Innovation for Design), I had to create a chair with the following parameters. This meant starting from sketches of prototypes to the final technical report.

Let's start on the sketches:

First, my partner and I created 3 prototype sketches each. They are as follows.

 Each of these sketches have the lines of force drawn on them to show where the stress concentrations were and how to eliminate them. Using a pugh chart, We selected concept #3.
The next step was to use Autodesk Inventor to show what this would look like. I created the individual pieces and places all of them together. All this can be found on my technical report.
