Problem

Traditional candle-making is messy, time-consuming, and hard to customize, so the goal was to package several electromechanical subsystems into one cohesive, user-ready countertop appliance.

Action

  • Integrated several electromechanical subsystems using 80/20 aluminum scaffolding and custom exterior panels to assemble a cohesive, user-ready prototype.
  • Prioritized industrial design, using simple mechanisms and guiding design features to make the user-facing subsystem intuitive and inviting.
R

Result

  • Delivered a working prototype that produces an 8 oz candle with a customizable scent in just under an hour.
  • Demonstrated reliable automation and repeatable quality in consumer testing with different scents.
