Abstract
In order to create an injection-molded battery clip for the Chibitronics Circuit Sticker kit, both manufacturing and product design principles were considered to inform product feel and form as well as ensure manufacturability in future iterations of the clip. Prototypes were initially designed using modeling clay. These prototypes were then developed in Solidworks and printed on a MakerBot 3D printer. Three iterations of prototypes were tested and design decisions were made based on user need and aesthetic appeal of the battery clips. These prototypes were used to determine a final design decisions and the creation of a mold that will be used in future manufacturing of these battery clips.
