The aging population faces challenges in maintaining independence due to mobility issues, cognitive decline, health concerns, and feelings of loneliness and isolation. By designing a user-friendly solution, we can empower older adults to live independently with improved safety, accessibility, and opportunities for social engagement.

Final 3D Print

Final 3D Print

The final stage consisted of refining the 3D-printed model to achieve a smooth, professional finish. The process consisted of sanding & wet sanding the surface and applying Polyfiller to any imperfections, repeating the process until the texture felt consistent. Carefully preparing the model for priming by masking off areas like the acrylic screen. After filling and smoothing the joint lines with Polyfiller, I gradually increased the sandpaper grit to ensure a flawless, even surface ready for finishing. Finally, I spray-painted the model and added detailed touches to highlight the manual emergency button.

Wet Sanding

Wet Sanding

Once I collected the 3D print of my final model I began sanding it smooth. I inserted Polyfiller into areas where needed in order to make a smooth surface. I repeated this process until I was satisfied with the external texture and feel of the body.

I filled the line with Poly Filler and went back sanding it down until it was flush with the rest of the body and worked my way up with the sand paper numbers in order to get it smooth once more.
