Engineering process

The scanner consists of a base case, which takes all the weight, and 4 identical masts, in which cameras are installed for scanning a person’s feet.

The mast structure consists of several plastic parts. They assemble with the snap-fits. The mast has a frame (aluminum bent sheet) that prevents it from deformation when a person stands on the scanner. The immobility of the masts is crucial for scanning with the cameras.

The base case design provides 5 supports. The ribs for given stiffness are designed to distribute the person’s weight evenly over the entire case.

A steel sheet is installed on the base, which also takes the load.

Stress analysis of the base case with the frames and inserts. Load on the top cover is 2000 N.

The product has passed stress tests. The safety factor is excellent. Besides, the real prototype was tested by volunteers.

Assembly of the final product

Manufacturing technologies used: molding of plastic parts, cutting and bending of metal parts.

The product is the finalist of the IF DESIGN AWARD 2021
