Penn Dental
A Penn Dental concept exploring a mouth tray and base system that uses pumping, magnets, and agitation to make oral-care workflows more controlled and approachable. The story moves from product direction into team research, concept selection, and system mapping.
Product Direction
The recent portfolio frames the project around a mouth tray and base combo, with the base doing active work instead of acting as a passive storage object.
- Mouth tray and base architecture
- Pump and magnet agitation concept
- Dental-care workflow framing
Team Context
Group documentation gives the project a research and review context, grounding the polished product render in collaborative development.
- Clinical and academic stakeholders
- Team critique and iteration
- Shared decision-making process
Selection Matrix
The concept was evaluated through comparative matrices, turning early ideas into a more defensible direction before detailed form development.
- Criteria-based concept choice
- Tradeoffs made visible
- Design direction narrowed
Whiteboard Systems
Whiteboard studies document the underlying system logic, including flow, component layout, and how the product might move from concept toward testable prototype.
- Internal system planning
- Component relationship sketches
- Prototype questions surfaced
Concept Map
The final narrative connects a clean product family to the messy research behind it: maps, diagrams, and system decisions that explain why the object takes its form.
- Research-to-product translation
- Use-case mapping
- Next prototype priorities
