| + | As for the prototype, we have constructed it from an already used adjustable desk, in which we have created the boxes out of PVC boards which were glued together and taped with duct-tape for additional support. As can be seen in Figure {{ref> | ||

| - | //Provide here the conclusions | + | In this chapter, we tried to find a solution for the problems stated in the introduction. Since this pandemic, a lot of people are working remotely. We focused on creating a more flexible and autonomous work environment for them. Our target market consists mainly of people who live in small spaces, they struggle even more with this shift to WFH due to lack of space. |
| + | We started of with some initial ideas that we illustrated with some sketches and later with a wooden model. By making this model and a black box of our product, a clear vision of our product was created. After defining the target market, a comparison of different materials and components followed. We explained our decision to proceed with maple wood and aluminium with technological properties and evaluations between different materials. The strength, durability and easy recyclability of these materials convinced us that they were the best option for our desk. Further, the team looked into different lifting mechanisms and compared their advantages and disadvantages. We chose to offer the user the option to choose out of three mechanisms, according to their budget. The electrical one has the greatest range and is easy to operate, the manual one is a bit more limited in its range and has to be lifted by operating the handle. The last one, the mechanism with the lock pin, is the simplest one to produce and can reach any height but won’t be easy to handle for the user. For the 3D model and the visualisation, | ||
| + | Further, we discussed al the features we integrated to make our desk more autonomous. The ideal posture to ensure the desk is ergonomic is explained in chapter | ||
| + | |||
| + | The prototype was created using expanded PVC and a reused, transformable desk from our institution. Although the materials limited us in achieving a realistic desk, we tried our best to make it look like our model. We used our research on sustainability and ethics as a guideline for our project.
