REPOTTING MULTITOOL
My growing indoor succulent collection inspired me to design and render a repotting multitool for my Product Design class in Spring 2022.
Tools
Shapr3D (CAD), Procreate, Cardboard for prototyping
Shapr3D (CAD), Procreate, Cardboard for prototyping
V1 - Ironwood: anodized metal (matte) & pineboard (clearcoat)
PROCESS
I started by sketching out different tools that I use for repotting. After having a solid concept in mind, I created a physical prototype using cardboard and a digital caliper for accurate measurements. Finally, I rendered my design on Shapr3D and visualized it in different materials.
