Sketching.
Throughout the design process, multiple iterations of the drill chuck were explored to refine both form and function. Early sketches focused on understanding the existing mechanism and identifying areas for improvement. I got to experiment with proportions, surface detailing, and user interaction, leading to a final design that feels ergonomic, and visually dynamic while maintaining technical precision.

Hotspot Mapping
Hotspot Mapping
Hotspot mapping was conducted during the disassembly of the original drill to identify key problem areas within its construction and assembly process. Each component was analysed in terms of accessibility, material use, functional relevance, and ease of disassembly. The mapping results revealed several high-impact “hotspots” - particularly around complex assemblies and material combinations - that contributed to inefficiency and difficulty in its repair. These insights directly informed the next stage of design iterations, guiding improvements in modularity, usability, and overall product sustainability.
