Trimmer Porsche

The aim of this project was to design a trimmer using Porsche’s shapes. The essence of Porsche surfaces shall be recognizable, as well as the understanding of complex forms applied to a 3D object.

Analysis of Porsche design lines and surfaces in order to understand the brand and translate those particular features into a completely different product.

As the trimmer is a product that is grabbed with the entire hand, a piece of high density styrofoam was carved until it fit comfortably.

As this is a professional trimmer, the product usability was tied up to the barber and his customer. This means that in most case scenarios the trimmer was going to be used on others.
A professional razor lets the user change the speed of the blade, and comes with several combs for different cut heights.

At the end of the excercise, when everything was defined, a 1:1 scale model of the trimmer was developed. All parts 3D printed in ABS. After sanding and putting each piece, they were sprayed with two-coat paint for a fine finishing.
