Triggered Workshop offers an end to end solution for your design project from concept ideation to end product development. With our 3D Printing capability, we provide clients with the option to do prototyping when needed.
Design & Look Development
Have a design idea? Let us help you develop suitable concepts and visuals for your project!
End Product Prototyping
When needed, We provide clients the capability to develop prototypes ranging from static figures or dioramas to functional prototypes such as a fully articulating figurines or a robotic arm!
End Product Development
Need to go beyond prototyping? We can go all the way from painting up and polishing the prototypes to designing a packaging for your product.
PROJECTS
robot Articulated Figure Project
This project is one of the first internal project done to demonstrate an end to end workflow starting from ideation phase to the finished end product complete with its packaging. Additionally, the outcome of the project shows the benefits of having access to a rapid prototyping tool such as a 3D Printer.
1. Design and Visualisation
At the very early stage of the project, small thumbnails sketches for the basic idea of the design are made digitally as multiple options to choose from. The options are then eliminated one by one as technical constraints are being considered.
2. 3D Model
Based on the chosen design, 3D Model are then made with careful considerations to dimension tolerances and printing method.
3. Prototyping and Fitting
With the 3D Model made with multiple separate parts, the parts are then printed with an FDM 3D Printer. Different materials are also used for specific parts to allow better articulation and fitting.
4. Finishing and Packaging
When all the printing and test fitting are done, the only thing left to do is to polish and paint the parts to the desired finish. The packaging are then done to complete the project as a package.
Pratapad: A modified macropad based on dumbpad
This project is the second internal project done with a goal to create a tool to assist artists in getting more adapted in converting their workflow in a more mobile manner. With the increase in better technology in mobile tablet such as the iPad, the prospect of getting things done in a more mobile way becomes more attractive. However, not many people are accustomed to the finger-gesture based functionality of the workflow. To explore the possible solution to this issue, some would use a portable keyboard along with the mobile tablet but conventional portable keyboards are not very convenient to bring around for artists who might just need a few cluster of keys instead of the full range of a full keyboard. So with this in mind, we explore the viability of using a macropad, a highly customisable keypad for any use.
In creating this macropad, we referenced an open source macropad project from the internet called the Dumbpad. The fact that it has rotary encoder makes it a highly convenient feature to use. We can set up the rotary encoder to increase brush size or even rapid history scrubbing. In this project, we explored the process of modifying a pcb, designing, and machining the case for it in aluminium.
We modified the Printed Circuit Board for the Dumbpad because the existing designs are made more for right handed users. This is actually not ideal for artists because right handed users use their right hand to hold their stylus. Therefore, it is better to have it made in left handed orientation. I also moved the rotary encoder to the left, this is also made in consideration where the thumb and forefinger can easily reach it naturally. This comes with a downside where the knob may become a hindrance to the palm as the finger reaches the keys in the furthest rows. To mitigate this, we look at low profile rotary encoders and also consider the possibility of printing our of low profile knobs.
1. Design and Visualisation
In this project, We based our design and modification from an existing printed circuit boards(PCB) design available in Github. From there, We made the appropriate changes to the board such as the rerouting and resizing the board.
2. 3D Model
Based on the modification to the Printed Circuit Board design, we designed the appropriate casing for it to protect it. There are many considerations to take when designing. The original Dumbpad does not include any plates to hold the switches so we decided to design one for it.
3. Prototyping and Fitting
At this point of the project, It is very important that we 3d printed it before going for our intended finalised look. This is because machining out of aluminium can take a long time and an issue in design can become quite a costly mistake.
4. Finishing and Packaging
Referencing the rapid prototyping phase, we can proceed to making the keyboard plates out of Brass and the main body case out of 6061 Aluminium. Additional materials are used in order to fix the stock material down to the working area of the machine this is because we would like to avoid using any adhesive under the working material.
