TPR is a universal tape dispenser with a sleek, modern design that creates an artistic vision for a workspace
An optimized workspace is a necessity for optimal work
The model worked as intended, however when pulling the tape, the arm would move up and down, causing the roll to slip through the wheels.
The initial sketch model shown has a simple system of using a rubber band to put downward pressure between 3 spinning wheels.
The dispenser was specialized to adjust its size to accommodate different sizes of tape rolls.
I realized that the arm was not necessary, and removing it would allow the form to become much smaller, slimmer and more efficient in its function
After all the CAD, it hit me that the most effective way to refine form was with physical modeling, which allowed me to test for function as I went.
The Universal Tape Dispenser
An optimized tool for optimal work
The final type was created by hand to ensure everything was evenly shaped and mathematically proportional
