Sketching
Orthographic and Isometric Images
Began by developing sketching skills through drawing exercises to help convey design plans and ideas. Utilized skills to create an orthographic sketch of blood pressure monitor housing

Foam Core
Scaled Rapid Model
Developed foam core modeling techniques to prototype user-centered healthcare solutions. Combined these techneques to create a scaled model of the blood pressure monitor housing.
Molding
Vaccum and Silicone Molding
Learned how to create rubber molds for materials like fast hardening plastic as well as plastic molds that could be used for food. Used these methods to create the clear plastic packaging for the blood pressure monitor.

Digital Fabrication
Laser Cutting and 3D Printing
Developed skills to bring designs from digital models to physical prototypes. 3D printing allowed me to create detailed and accurate components such as the motor. Laser cutting enabled precision fabrication of flat parts including the blood pressure cuff exterior.
Sewing
Machine Stitching
Utilized sewing machines to piece together blood pressure monitor cuff parts and enclose with bias tape.

Finishing
Painting and Vinyl Cutting
Starting with 3D printed base housing, the prototype was sanded and filled until smooth. It was then primed and painted to emulate molded plastic. Lastly, vinyl was cut using a cricut to create a decal of the blood pressure monitor screen.
Final Product
Packaged Blood Pressure Monitor
Prototype
To finialize the blood pressure monitor prototype, all the previously design pieces were combined to replicate the original packaged product.
