Goal:
       
Design a 3D-printable object with built-in flexibility that allows components to securely snap together without additional hardware.





  Approach:
       
Used SolidWorks to explore geometries that enable controlled deformation, focusing on how form could create flexibility within rigid materials.










  Key Considerations:
       
  • Material limitations of 3D printing
  • Tolerances for a secure yet functional fit
  • Structural integrity under repeated use






  •   Outcome:
           

    Developed a snap-fit design that balances flexibility and strength, while gaining a deeper understanding of designing for manufacturability and real-world use.
