Project Overview

For our project we want to engineer a simple, effective, and elegant product that people will want to use. Through brainstorming, a problem that we found and that we would like to address is the limited choices of iPhone cases. Through research, we found that there are no color changing iPhone cases, and that inspired our project. Our project goal is to 3D print an iPhone case out of color changing material, that is both appealing to the eye and protective for the phone. We hope to create unique and desirable phone cases that consumers want to purchase. The material we will use for the actual phone case is either a thermochromic or photochromic plastic. These materials change in the presence of light and heat, respectively. The market for this product is iPhone users who are searching for a new protective, creative, ergonomic, appealing, and unique case for their beloved iPhone.
