Design an energy- and datadistribution system for use in professional environments. The product is suitable for active market changes such as; USB-C, DC-Voltage and placement in walls and furniture. The concept exists of two parts, those two parts being interfaces and sockets.
Design Vision
The product has a minimalistic, modern and timeless appearance that suits the environments of hospitals. By applying an interface in this direct environment, general ease of use will be drastically improved. By connecting the product to different functions within the hospital, the hospital will be experienced in a more efficient and pleasant manner.

When working on this DC voltage-socket concept, certain aspects that came to mind and were important to us, was being able to quickly plug in the new DC voltage-plug. Misplacing was also to be avoided.
To avoid this, we gave the DC voltage-socket a circular shape, making it possible to freely place the plug 360º around. This feature eliminates misplacement altogether as well as enabling you to place the plug faster.
This concept exists of an injection molded universal cover frame, a DC voltage-socket and a USB-C powered charging dock featuring a touch-screen based User Interface (specifically designed for use in hospitals)
Development
the second stage of this assignment was to optimize the design of the first stage. Here we had to focus on manufacturing methods, as well as the assembly process and running different FEM-Analysis.
To me personally, the assembly process was quite important, as well as making the whole product intutive. That's why I opted for angled ribs. This would allow for an easier assembly process, as the angled ribs guide the component to the proper placement location inside the module.
To make sure the parts can be injection molded without any issues, I performed a draft analysis on the individual parts. By moving the snap hooks of the product to the far edges, The product can be injection molded without any undercuts  on the backplate. A draft angle of 1.0 degrees has been used in order to match the high gloss appearance of the parts.
Final Design
The final design uses a capacitive touch screen to make it easier and more intuitive for the user to navigate through the menu. It also has two USB-C ports so consumers can easily charge their tech such as smartphones and laptops. The soft and minimal exterior of the product truly matches the hospital environment it will be used in. By using standardized ways of installing and attachment, both primary and secondary users will experience a more streamlined and intuitive experience.

The final CAD model is modelled in SolidWorks, rendered in Keyshot, and touched up in Adobe Photoshop.
