Product Design Process for CBD Patient

• Research

• Interview patient and gather information

• Concept generation

• 3D visualisation

• Prototype formation

The prototype for the product design is made with the help of materials like thermocol, styrofoam and other manufacturing materials as well. Students at School of Creativity, Rishihood University also use 3D printers, advanced techniques such as laser cut, cnc’s for specific materials and product designs.

At the Rishihood University School of Creativity, the product design process in the product design studio follows a structured and thorough approach:

• Research: Conducting in-depth investigations to understand market needs, user behaviour, and technological trends.

• Concept Formulation: Developing innovative ideas and concepts based on research findings.

• Development: Transforming concepts into tangible designs through iterative refinement and development.

• Prototyping: Creating functional prototypes to test and validate designs before moving to final production.

This comprehensive process ensures the creation of well-researched, innovative, and user-centric products. In the article below, Mohit, a BDes student at School of Creativity, Rishihood University talks about his experience on making a social design project.

Social Design Project Experience- School of Creativity, Rishihood University

Mohit, a BDes student at the School of Creativity, Rishihood University Sonipat, discusses his project on social design aimed at improving rural lifestyles. In rural areas of India, wood is commonly used to ignite stoves for cooking, a practice that leads to pollution and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. Additionally, cutting wood has detrimental effects on the environment.

The primary goal of Mohit's project at the School of Creativity, Rishihood University, was to develop sustainable, smoke-free alternatives to traditional wood-burning stoves.

This project has been showcased in numerous competitions where it has received high praise. It addresses "wicked problems," complex issues often overlooked but significantly impacting health and the environment.
