With this project the task was to create a 3D digital model that can also be used as a physical object incentive for our client base within the Brian Alfred Associates brand. Using design thinking, heuristic principles and the 'Digit' mascot a gap in the market was identified for the use of a fidget device, using this, the idea was to create the 'Digit Fidget'.

Following the initial scoping and planning stage, TinkerCAD was used to create a basic 3D model and to engineer push-fit mechanisms for the physical fidget toy ensuring all objects where scaled correctly along their respective X,Y and Z axis.

Following the creation of these 3D models, the STL files where imported into Adobe Aero along with further 2D vector graphics to create a 3D assistant that could be utilised in an immersive environment using the original 2D image as an image anchor.
Once the immersive prototype was tried and tested, the physical 3D model was developed further to be used as a fidget device. To do this, the 3D model was imported into Adobe Dimension and a mock up was created of how the device would look in the real world.
Following the mock up design the engineered STL file was imported in to the BambuLab A1 Mini Combo slicing software to create and print the final prototype.
