3D Printed Desk Organiser

Abstract

This project presents the design and development of a modular desk organiser system aimed at overcoming the limitations of current solutions in terms of functionality, aesthetics, and customisation. Employing a user-centred design approach, the process involved product benchmarking, market positioning, user questionnaires, and visual design tools such as inspiration boards and moodboards. A functional prototype was developed using 3D printing with PLA plastic to test modular components. User testing revealed positive feedback on the system’s adaptability, ease of assembly, and potential to improve workspace organisation. However, feedback also highlighted the need for refinement in fittings and configuration flexibility. Overall, the project successfully demonstrated the value of a modular organiser in enhancing workspace efficiency. The findings from testing provide a strong foundation for future design improvements and increase the potential for commercial success and market relevance.
