Update the current Bosch belt sander to a modern and battery-operated version that fits in the current product line of Bosch power tools.
Current problems
During the first tests conducted with users, we found several problems:
An obstructive power cord;
Unvisible button to change the speed inside the handle;
An obstructive dust bag for left-handed people;
Reaching forward with one arm, which gets tiring after longer use.
Based on these problems, the ideation process started. Going into a lot of different possible designs, we eventually tested three prototypes for further development, based on shape, location of parts (battery, tech system, and dust outlet), and ergonomic handles.
