The solution explores the option of having both uses in one product, a laptop stand to place on a desk, or table, but at the same time a stand to use the lapton on users lap. The shape of the design would allow both scenarios and will help with the air flow and heat radiation to keep the device safe and also the legs of the consumer would not get hot and uncomfortable.

Hi ! Good luck with your design. I really like the way that it has two different use. It is a great start i think. It seems that the design is monoblock. As far as I know, it can be produced with aluminum injection moulding but the mould will be very expensive due to dimensions. Aluminum casting can be another option but the surface quality will be bad. May be you can use more simple metal forming methods like press, bending etc to be more cost effective. This time we will see an intersection line in design. However, the edges will need extra processes to be safer in use. Anyway, i do not know about the budget that nespresso can afford for like this project.
THanks for the comment. I acctually was thinking on laser/plasma/water jet cutting for the shapes and holes, and then bending. I didnt add the joint in the visualization but there should be somewhere a welding... or I might not close the shape. You gave me hints to develope it further. Thank you.
Ey man, I did an update taking consideration of the production procees. I also made an animation to explain it. I hope you find it more feasible. Thanks.
Hi there,
it's nice to see your idea oxelot!
It's seems very simple, but therefore quite useful, especially with the 2 different use cases.
The discussion about the feasibility is a very good an important one, I am also wondering if the laptop will not slip down: is there anything holding it at place?
Thanks!
Dora
Another point: It would be great if you could also include the Project template in your slides for an even better understanding of the idea. Thanks a lot!
Hi Oxelot!
I love the update. Visuals and animation is beautiful. They leave no question marks regarding manufacturing. :) One thing could have been better : amount of used rubber. May be just a two thin line of rubber strips could be enough and could have been more chic. Anyway I love the way you approach feedbacks and your desire the develop the idea which are important and must be appreciated. Thanks also for considering my feedback!
Good luck !!
Actually laptops already have rubbers below them. Maybe you dont need any rubber
Thank you guys. Computers have the rubbers, but it is still necessary to have some to serve as the interface with the desk or surface where the device is placed, to avoid damaging the furniture and to allow a proper grip if is uneven. Anyway, I added a slide where you can see how it looks without these rubbers but also, I think it could be cool feature if they add different colours for consumer preference.
