Challenge

Result

Collaborated with a group of five to tackle the problem of smudging when left-handed people write. Their hand usually drags behind the ink causing it to smear. 

After rapid- prototyping we came up with the idea to create an elevated platform where the hand can rest and glide over the paper utilizing ball bearings. The idea was designed on SOLIDWORKS and 3D printed using a heated bed.The result was no smearing and less stress on the hand when writing due to decreased friction. This project received The Most Marketable Design at the junior design fair which culminated of a poster presentation.
