For assignment two our group has decided to complete a redesign of a socket wrench. In this redesign we would like to look at various aspects including its design and uses in order to make the current product better and more accessible to all individuals. Fabricating a product that is user friendly for a wider range of people such as someone with arthritis is a question our team wishes to examine and look for solutions on. Furthermore, we would like to create more of an all in one product by making it adjustable and extendable for example. We feel taking these factors into account we will be able to design a better, more effective tool for a wider range of people.======

B) //Theoretical Concepts// The redesign of the socket wrench prototype will take into consideration the principles of mapping, feedback, aesthetics, and usability (learnability and flexibility). These principles will serve as a guide in the analysis and redesign process of the tool. Creating the 3D model will allow for any potential issues with the design to be resolved and create a visual for the tool, thus, enabling for adjustments in the design. The 3D model should communicate the principles of mapping and feedback in the function of the tool, which will serve as a perception of usability in the design. The usability of the redesign model should enable for easy learnability due to the fact that the design should capture and reuse the existing knowledge of the original tool. The flexibility of the redesign prototype will allow for greater generalization for the uses of the tool. The attachments pieces available for the tool will allow for a level of customizability of the tool. The development of the design in 3D should narrow and refine aspects of the tool, bridging the execution and evaluation stage of the design.
