Issues for investigation: Research plan
Materials to be used
Can 3d Prints be made strong enough
Would aluminum be strong enough whilst still remaining lightweight
Asthetics
Is it possible to make it slim enough to fit under trousers
Size
Can it be made to adjust to a wide enough range to ensure it fits as many people as possible
Production methods
Would 3D printing be better than casting the parts in metal
Safety considerations
What materials are able to withstand the required strain whilst also being light
Shape
Would a cylindrical shape be more efficient than using the current irregular hexagonal shape
Commercial and Manufacturing limitatiuons
Commercial limitation
How many would be required to fill the growing demand
Manufacturing limitation
How quickly could the product be made without sacrificing any accuracy in the production
Durability
Is it possible to make an adjustment system which is durable enough to withstand constant use
User needs
Will the product be strong enough to be used as a support for the client once it is locked to a set size. And then readjusted if required by a technician
Cost
My product needs to be cost effective, and possibly cost less than the existing products that are on the market
