Greenden Pick-up Tool
A multi-purpose pickup tool.
1. Design Brief
Develop a design for an easy pickup tool. The design must be developed
for a user that you must identify. The device will be a hand-held and
hand operated.
Requirements: Develop a set of design constraints based on research that
identifies your user, functional requirements and a circumstance that
may be better served by a new design. Using the design constraints
develop a design using iterative development and that will be realised
using CAD modelling, physical modelmaking and visual renderings.

Sketches
During the sketching phase, I developed four iterations of my pick-up tool design each week, incorporating feedback and observations. This iterative process allowed me to make continuous improvements and progress towards creating an optimized and user-friendly tool.
Testing
During the testing phase of my pick-up tool design, I focused on evaluating the mechanism that incorporated springs and 3D printed parts. This rigorous testing process allowed me to assess the functionality and durability of the tool.

Final Prototype
The final prototype of the pickup tool features a spring-loaded mechanism that pulls the clamps together when the button is pressed. Upon release, the clamps effortlessly disengage, enabling the swift and convenient release of the picked-up item.
4. Final Design
Details
A design that focus on having multiple functions for gardening.
Mechanism
The inner mechanism of the pickup tool includes a hook to hold the spring and string in place, enabling smooth and efficient operation.
