  2. Design Activities

  3. Project Management – Gant Chart

  4. Customer Needs Assessments AHP Chart • Keys • A) Portability-7 • B) Noise Level-6 • C) Battery Life-9 • D) Aesthetics-5 • E) Simplicity-9 • F) Power Level-7 • G) Cost-8 • H) Easy to Replace-8 • I) Sustainability-6 • J) Durability-8

  5. Problem statement • create a more sustainable toothbrush that is pleasing to the customers • Minimize the size of toothbrush, less material would be used • Different shape for aesthetics and a better clean • Changing the type of batteries we can extend the battery life of the toothbrush

  6. External ResearchSummary

  7. Morph chart

  8. Final design sketches Pic 1: Pic 2: Pic 3: Pic 4: Vibration reduction, Rotational Brush Head AA battery + solar Angled neck, ring, and battery panels hand grip, closer to motor thinner body

  9. Pugh ChartFinal Concept Selection • Criteria based on: Customer Needs Assessment, Sustainability Objective, and External Research • All parts: Recycled Material • Energy mechanism – Vibration reduction and hybrid • Vibration reduction ring on motor extended part (vibration rod) • Brush Head - Rotational/Arched Head with Gum on Head’s back: • Required for basic cleaning function plus gum and soft parts cleaning feature • Power Generation – AA-Battery+ Solar Panel: • Reduced energy used by battery by collaborate solar power technology • Body Design - Thinner body/Comfortable handle: • Required for Customer Needs Assessment

  11. CAD Drawing for final design Final Design Front Body with grip and switch Back Body with solar panel 80 degree angled neck Replaceable head

  12. Toothbrush MechanismHow technology has helped sustainability • Material Selection: Recycled plastic + rubber • Power Generation: AA-Battery hybridizes with Solar Cell • Energy Mechanism: Hybrid technology Solar cell Motor Series Sources Brush Head LiMH AA-battery

  13. conclusion • Our entire design process and brainstorming of ideas was based off of the customer needs analysis • Goals of Sustainability, aesthetics, portability, noise level, battery life, durability, and simplicity were reached
