A 'brief' guide into the development of the Breechtool.
The original document and technical report contained 25,000 words and was 180 pages attaining a 1st Class in Product Design Engineering.
More information on the Breechtool
A Brief overview of just some of the concepts!
Some examples of some of the prototype designs of the brush heads.
Playing around with the internal cavities of the brush heads was a great design challenge, I wanted the most longevity of use as well as a good solid fix onto the metal part of the tool.
CAD model of the Breech allowed me to achieve the best angles and shape for the main tool.
Through CAD modelling I could achieve great presentation shots of use.
From sketch to final prototype design!
From CAD render to real life!
