Well first, I would like to briefly explain about my product in this final project. We know that there are many people who like to take their morning walks as their daily routine, but we know how difficult it is to go outside in these times of pandemic if you have any disease that makes you more vulnerable to catching it. Or even worse, you do not have much space in your apartment to do your daily exercises. Wait, here is the solution for that, I create a treadmill machine that can be disassembled into three parts. The idea is to use your treadmill machine at the moment and then store it in your closet or under your bed. After several testing, I made some 3D prototypes, one on the Tinkercad website, and the other one on Sketchfab. Imagine having this incredible product in your home, enjoy it and store it anywhere. Let us check out some photos and video of this incredible design.

Some Images:

For the new version of my treadmill machine, I took the feedback that my best friend Pablo gave me. I remember him telling me that he would like to work from his computer while he was on his treadmill machine.

From that moment I became curious if I could add something to it that could hold a laptop on the treadmill machine. Add a small computer stand to the front of the treadmill machine. I kept the same design and only added a small detail but very important for people who want their morning walks and at the same time they can do their homework or work on their laptop.

I think the values ​​are very easy to understand in this design, it would be to have a collapsible treadmill machine for people who live in small places and only use it at the right time and then store it in their closet under the bed. Another added value is to use the treadmill machine to have a better physical health and finally to do your tasks or some work of the company while you are using them.

For my best friend Pablo, I came up with these four assumptions for my product to be successful in the marketplace. At first, I assumed that he needed a detachable treadmill that could fit into his little apartment. This is easy to test with just one question. I believe that leading a healthy lifestyle is the most important thing in people’s lives.

Another assumption is that I made my best friend Pablo willing to go back to exercise and have better health. This is not very important but easy to test. He is actively searching the marketplace for something similar to get back into his exercise routine.

Another important assumption but a bit difficult to test, we know that my best friend Pablo has a high-risk disease, which is diabetes, and we need to know if he can find other alternatives so that he can do his exercise routine. The most reasonable thing to do would be to find a detachable treadmill that would fit in his little apartment.

The last assumption not so important and difficult to test, would be that Pablo starts exercising without leaving home so that he can have a better healthy lifestyle. We would have to find a machine that can be assembled and disassembled so that he does not take up a lot of space in his apartment.

My 3D Product.   (Detachable Treadmill)

I would like to explain to you what is the problem that I think is affecting this person, which is one of my best friends called Pablo. As I realize that this is a real problem and not a simple hobby. My friend in this time of pandemic texted me a lot about how to stay in shape from his house since he was afraid to go out. He wanted me to give him advice on ways to do exercises to do at home, whether I sent him videos or articles to get a better understanding of the subject. One time I asked him to meet up to speak personally and that is where I realized that he was overweight, and he told me that he was very depressed about everything he was experiencing. The main problem was that he did not want to go to a gym for fear that in that place he could be infected with the virus, but on the other hand he wanted to exercise for his health. I advised him to buy a treadmill and use it at home, but the problem was that he had no space unless it was removable. We were looking through online stores and we did not find a product of that form that is detachable. I think this idea came to my mind to create something this innovative due to the need that my friend suffered. I made a prototype and created a 3D design to have the shape and model of a treadmill and to be disassembled. This idea will help many people who cannot leave the house to do some physical activity outside, they have this advantage of doing cardio on a detachable machine. It will also help people who do not have much space in the house or apartment and who want to use the treadmill and then store it in a box.

Well in this task we must create something that reminds us of our childhood, and I think that a soccer ball is something that reminds me of many things. This little detail reminds me of many anecdotes from my childhood and one of them is the meetings we had with my friends from the neighborhood. There were many fights and many victories in the soccer games, but the most important thing was the time I spent with them and every time I see a soccer ball brings back beautiful memories of friends and moments that were left in the past.
