Having owned a couple of facial cleansers in my past, I designed a modern and aesthetically pleasing cleanser that wouldn't be an eye sore on my counter.
Project Description
The common issues with facial cleansers are that they are clunky, lack calming color options, and constantly require replacing the brush heads because they eventually get dirty and carry bacteria. When designing Aurora, I was inspired by Braun products, which are modern and sleek, and beautiful products that don't need to be shoved into a drawer. I designed Aurora to have not only an oscillating head but also a rotating ball joint to conform to the angles of a face. Aurora's heads are also built with naturally antibacterial charcoal bristles, ensuring you do not spread more bacteria to your skin and reducing the amount of brush head replacements.
Student Work
Year Completed: 2017
Programs: Solidworks (3D Models), Keyshot (Render), Photoshop (edit product photography)
Construction: 3D Printed PLA
Camera: Canon Rebel T5; Edited: Photoshop

Technical Drawings
Before assembly, the body of the bush is modeled into two parts that are joined together with snap-fit edges. While the ball joint, brush head, and button are all modeled in separate Solidworks Parts and then joined together using Solidworks Assembly.
FINAL MODEL Development
The final model was created by a MakerBot 3D printer out of PLA. The parts were printed separately, then sanded, filled in with Car Bondo spot putty, sanded some more, and spray painted with primer, and its final color matt gray XXX. After the parts are dry, they are assembled into the final model.
