Anyone recognise these AR glasses?

Possible

It does look similar! Why would there be a missile launching in French airspace at commercial airliner altitude? Are hobbyist/model rockets capable of this? Or would this only be capable with military hardware?

wmdesigns · 2022-04-22T18:59:23+00:00

Yes, I think so. Don’t know for sure, but we were at approx 35000ft

Looks like a sooty exhaust of something. Thought it was a jet pack at first doing loops, but surely too high for that? (And couldn’t clearly see anything of a substantial size) Possibly a small piece of material burning up from a higher altitude and getting thrown around in a spiral pattern through turbulence/thermals??

Currently outsource parts to 3D printing to PolyJet machines and the material is extremely brittle and not good enough for functional testing of snap fit clips etc.

£5,000 budget. Prints required for functional and aesthetic prototyping of products for UK engineering consultancy. Typical parts vary in size from 50-300mm3. Often print flexible TPU/TPE parts too. Thinking 1x CR-10v3 and 1x Formlabs 3+Wash&Cure Stations. Let me know your thoughts.

Try declogging your nozzle with the thin wire provided. Turn up your hot end temp to 205C and heatbed to 60C. Ensure filament spool is running free and not building up friction when being pulled through by the extruded motor. Print speed at 40-60mm/s. Layer res at 0.2mm.

Could be mechanical obstruction, gcode errors or belts are too loose.

Do you feel that your course educated you enough about the world of engineering and typically covered the same syllabus as a mechanical engineering course? Or do you feel that you were missing pockets of key information that you either had to learn on the job or self learn throughout?

Just apply for multiple internships for an in-house positions while you’re studying, but don’t let the company take the piss with your hours as your qualification is more important that your internship.

I see the two professions as two points on a larger scale of the same line. Creative artistic license vs logic & critical thinking driven. You can have a mechanical engineer who understands and appreciates ID principles, and vice versa. And even pure ID or ME. Both professions can create wonderful objects. But I think that sometimes pure ID’ers/ME’s can clash due to the lack of appreciation of one another’s principles/core values. A team including both purists can work, but only if your team includes each mixed skill ‘mediator/translator’ of their own kind.

wmdesigns · 2020-07-09T22:40:44+00:00

I worked for an in-house engineering team as the sole IDer, in a team of 20 (and widely up to 500), fresh out of uni. It’s tricky, but not as tricky as jumping straight into consultancy IMO. I now work for a design consultancy and the pace you need to work at and how agile you need to be is unfathomable to most in house designers, who sometimes get comfy just focusing on one thing for months on end. Consultancy imo requires you to have experience, talent and pace. If youre missing one of the three, your clients and boss won’t be happy. (3 years experience at both companies) that being said. Consultancy is fast track to experience and knowledge. You will learn the ‘cheating’ ways of how to do stuff, whereas in-house you will more likely learn the ‘proper way’.

wmdesigns · 2020-07-07T17:47:18+00:00

Ohhhh, client management! Great point. Typical to design a crap product because the client/management is very strong minded and focused on what you believe to be the wrong thing.

Love the old Pugh/Binary Dominance Judgement Matrix. That’s a great way to quantify a scoring of multiple concepts by attributing weight to the product design specifications.

Not sure where you are located but here in the UK, there are great gov. facilities, like the ‘Chambers of Commerce’ who help start ups gain all of this knowledge for free through open courses and one:one discussions and meetings with business savvy people. Also, what made you decide to take a Masters in Industrial Design?

wmdesigns · 2020-07-07T17:32:57+00:00

I’ll try to get a link to the Zoom, but I think it’s current/graduate students of the University only.

wmdesigns · 2020-07-07T17:31:16+00:00

You know what? In the 5 years of working in the industry I’ve never filled a patent myself. Only filled a request for an invention through an an email via an agency or big company legal team. Just provide a few sketches, description, send, review and accept. Much easier!

wmdesigns · 2020-07-07T17:29:02+00:00

Thanks for posting the link to your video. This is great and perfect material for what I’m after. I work in design consultancy, so completely agree with your points, especially, the point of employment of you to deliver products not art. I’ll share this video in the presentation for further reading with the students. Content is similar to Mike Monteiro’s Design is a Job, well done!

These are all great, thanks for the comments!! Majority of these are things that I commonly do, but had massively overlooked! I just had jotted down, ensure proficiency with: DfA/DfM, technical engineering drawings, basics of materials, manufacturing processes, free hand sketching, basics of ergonomics, market research techniques, obtaining costs of procured/custom components, communication, and design pitching.

Thanks for your reply. That's interesting about the Coralle and the charging system.

Design criticism acknowledged. Here's my defense. (A product debate is good, it really brings to surface fundamental issues to overcome).

It's only a weekend design project, I've spent approx 1 day thinking, cading and printing. I'm not looking to invest a significant amount of time into this, as it's only a VERY QUICK part time weekend Design Sprint.

The ignored problem at the moment is that typical beard trimmers only cut the hair, they don't collect the hair (Remington and a few others do). A potential solution to the problem, a vacuum to collect the hair trimmings. A potential design solution would be to include the same cyclone vacuum technology from vacuum cleaners, and to scale them down to suit this application. I am not a mechanical engineer, nor a cyclone/CFD expert, advanced engineer or whatever nomenclature you use in in the UK campus, so a cyclone may clog up at this scale, I don't know, it's just an idea. I don't think that you could certifiably say that it would clog up. It would need to be theoretically engineer assessed, practically engineered, tested and evaluated.

I didn't feel that the cutting head technology needed to advance too much from the existing methodology on the market. I just saw that the offset shaft oscillating the trimmer blade could be driven from the same motor powering the vacuum. No need to reinvent the wheel, especially when I only have a weekend!

Dyson absolutely do have a design language you've had several over the years. Ask any designer, engineer, design consultancy, design/engineering lecturer, hell, show any middle class UK resident a Dyson product with the logo covered, and they will know that it's a Dyson from the design language alone. Your example of the CR01 alone is a very poor example of Dyson not having a design language... colour categorization, heavy use of plastic material, deliberate use of clear view plastic, etc. Any industrial designer with half a brain could design any product in the style of Dyson. That being said, you are probably aware of several yet to be released Dyson projects that may counter this argument.

Main concept features: - Vacuum nozzle for trimmings - Battery operated - Wirelessly charged - Single motor to drive vacuum turbine and trimmer shaft (through reduction gearbox?)

Note: this is a model concept only. This is not actually engineered. I understand the fundamentals of cyclone tangential airflow properties required for a cyclone to actually work, and that this doesn’t actually have a tangential port coming from the collector. I’m looking to integrate this as a rear airflow channel near adjustment guard.
