For this project, we were tasked with identifying three household items that incorporate two or more mechanical hinges and selecting three to design bridge-opening. I chose an eyelash curler, an umbrella, and ice-cream scooper. Each item was then recreated as a 3D model, and its mechanical functions were layout through diagrams. This process allowed for a deeper understanding of how each mechanism operates before applying those principles to the development of the final prototypes.
