Research Topic 044 / 200

Fasteners remain visible, compromising grip and appearance.

Scattered screw positions obstruct grasping, cleaning, and brand recognition.

Research Focus: Structural Collaboration and Production ReadinessProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Distinguish assembly fixings from fasteners users must access for service.
  2. Explore consistent fastener placement, concealment, and clearly defined service access.
  3. Use a disassembly and reassembly prototype to test tool access, procedures, and appearance.

Key Deliverables

  • Fastener Layout
  • Service Access
  • Assembly and Disassembly Test Sheet

Verification Approach

Check tool access for maintenance, the risk of incorrect disassembly, and visual consistency.
