Bottle Opener
In this project, you will learn how to work with various resistant materials to produce an ergonomic bottle opener. The main focus of the project will be on Anthropometrics and Ergonomics. You will use modelling techniques (foam board) to design an ergonomic bottle opener. You will then replicate the ergonomic features into a real working bottle opener.
