Toolbox Redesign Project
Project Overview
The toolbox was designed with a fixed handle and modular internal space to allow for organised storage of basic tools. Material selection and geometric constraints were carefully evaluated to provide durability while maintaining lightweight construction. Prototyping and iterative adjustments were carried out to refine the dimensions and improve assembly compatibility, ensuring that the model could be manufactured consistently using laser cutting. The design reflects an application of engineering decision-making, ergonomics, and design for manufacturability.
Project Summary
The project successfully demonstrates the transition from concept sketches to a fully manufacturable product using 2D fabrication techniques. The final prototype is functional, portable, and suitable for repeated use. It also provided valuable experience in material-based design, precision modelling and practical assembly methods. Overall, the toolbox project integrates both creativity and engineering principles, resulting in a well-structured model ready for small-scale production or further development.
A functional toolbox was designed and prototyped using laser-cutting techniques, focusing on practicality, portability and durability. The design transforms 2D profiles into an assembled 3D structure with a fixed handle and organised internal compartments.
