Solar Shade
Home: Welcome
Why
With summer approaching, we wanted to cater to the needs of people spending more time outside in the sun. In order to enhance their experience and reduce the intensity of the sun, we developed an improved sun umbrella with modifications to broaden its range of functions. Additionally, the user's convenience is our priority.

-
Interchangeable base segments: a weighted flat base for flat surfaces and a screw base for dirt or sand
-
Easy to dismantle for ease of transport
How
-
Complete CAD assemblies of umbrella with the varying configurations​
-
A static stress analysis and Generative Design of the clamp​
-
3D printed prototypes of 4 components crucial for testing
