Modelling and Prototyping

In order to get a feel for my design, I needed to create a simple model, to experiment with different shapes and sizes.

  1. I drew the basic shape onto card board, cut it out and used it as a template to cut out identical shapes.
  2. I glued them together to achieve a height I was happy with.
  3. The circuit fits within my design.
  4. I wanted it quite thick, to give it a high quality feel, rather than something unsubstantial and flimsy.
  5. With the lid cut off.
  6. Basic heel shape added.
I then experimented with different heel designs:
