The course provided a real life simulation, where existing drill components needed to be used for future design, considering plastic injection moulding rules. newknowledge of rapid prototyping and Solidworks modelling was provided.

For amateur users today’sdri l ls don’ t provide any dri l l ing guidance. As a result, it is almost impossible to be in control of the drilling angle and drill hole depth. The new design ensures users have full control over these measures, by having an integrated assistance ruler. with a guided ruler, users can be confident and work much faster and precise.

The first term project during AdvancedProductDesignisexecutedin collaboration with LKAB mining company and Atlas Copco.

The main challenge was how to solve the operator’s vision problem while increasing scaling productivity and safety at the same time.

Optif lex is an add-on product for existing scaletec rigs. It significantly improves operators vision and access to crucial data that improves productivity, precision, rock surface evaluation and safety.

Problemanalyses


Operator can switch from normal dual vision

to3DcADview,whichisconstantlyupdated

as he works. This gives a clearer picture of

rock surface geometry, hidden cracks and

possible threats.

Operator has access to this data from the

monitor placed in his cabin. In future scaletec

models it could be displayed through heads–

up display.

This is a view from left and right camera’s

perspective. It is very close view, and the

extra light source makes it easy for the

operator to analyze surface structures and

to aim.

There are 300 000 new ostomy patients every year. In most cases this operation is the only option to save their lives with the cost of having an external stool collecting bag for the rest of their l ives. Today’s bag solutions are very primitiveandunpleasant.Patientshave hard time managing these bags. They worrying about problems related to leakage, bad odor and unattractive appearance. This leads to damaged self- image, poor l i fe qual ity and depression.
