3D foot scans | Kathleen O'Donnell Design
https://kathleenodonnelldesign.wordpress.com/2011/04/29/3d-foot-scans
Kathleen O'Donnell Design. Adventures in Industrial Design. April 29, 2011. I was very fortunate to work with Bob Emerson and Kali Braun from Nopco (National Orthotics and Prosthetics) who helped me to generate a three dimensional scan of my foot. We were able to take scans of my foot in both weight bearing and relaxed positions. Huge thanks to both of them for all of their help and advice! Next, we attached a stationary sensor to the surface. This helps the 3D scanner to locate itself on the surface.

Thesis Beginnings | Kathleen O'Donnell Design
https://kathleenodonnelldesign.wordpress.com/2011/09/20/thesis-2
Kathleen O'Donnell Design. Adventures in Industrial Design. September 20, 2011. To begin narrowing down my topic, I embraced my love of post-its and started visualizing my areas of interest in a mind map. Ultimately, I arrived at two distinct areas of interest that I would like to explore further: The question of how to design “patient agency” in the medical environment and the role of design in facilitating new technology adoption among medical professionals.

Pressure Distribution Data | Kathleen O'Donnell Design
https://kathleenodonnelldesign.wordpress.com/2011/04/06/pressure-distribution-data
Kathleen O'Donnell Design. Adventures in Industrial Design. April 6, 2011. Over spring break I worked with Trey Crisco and Joel Schwartz in the BME department at Brown to help measure some of the material properties of some of my samples. We did so using a Tekscan F-Scan Pressure Mapping System. One of the first things we did was to calibrate the system by creating a real time pressure map of my own feet:. From → data.

Casting samples, part 2 | Kathleen O'Donnell Design
https://kathleenodonnelldesign.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/casting-samples-part-2
Kathleen O'Donnell Design. Adventures in Industrial Design. Casting samples, part 2. April 5, 2011. Now that I had all the molds made up, I began to cast samples. I started by casting them in 20 durometer urethane. Some molds were trickier than others, especially ones that had very narrow elements or ones with a lot of flashing. I managed to feed the urethane into all of the areas of the molds by loading it into a syringe and injecting it at various locations. From → design. Larr; Mold Making Part 2.

Mold Making Part 2 | Kathleen O'Donnell Design
https://kathleenodonnelldesign.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/mold-making-part-2
Kathleen O'Donnell Design. Adventures in Industrial Design. Mold Making Part 2. April 5, 2011. After establishing the process by which I could cast individual pieces, I dove in to making all of my sample molds. This process went pretty much the same as before, only on a much larger scale. To save on silicone, I chose to cast these four at a time. Rather than pouring into a corner, I found it easiest to pour the silicone into the empty space in the center and let it spread out over all of the molds. Tuesd...

Kathleen O'Donnell Design. Adventures in Industrial Design. Learning to make prosthetics. March 15, 2011. A huge thank you to Mark Marich and the rest of his team at Northeast Orthotics and Prosthetics. Choose a material with good rebound – if a material compresses too easily and does not rebound, then it may be comfortable at first, but after wearing it for a week or so it will be all smashed down and no longer be comfortable. Conform the arch support to the foot in its relaxed position. Next, they mix ...

Casting Samples, part 1 | Kathleen O'Donnell Design
https://kathleenodonnelldesign.wordpress.com/2011/03/28/206
Kathleen O'Donnell Design. Adventures in Industrial Design. Casting Samples, part 1. March 28, 2011. I chose to cast most of my sample parts out of urethane, rather than silicone, so that I wouldn’t have to worry about silicone sticking to itself. I ordered a variety of low durometer urethanes from Smooth-on. I cut two air vents in the top corners, and clamped the entire mold between two pieces of acrylic. In the end, the pattern portion of the sample came out great, but one of the edges was a little une...
