MATERIAL > friction must exist between hand and handle > non-slip, non-conductive and compressible materials preferred textured rubber handles > avoid glossy coated and highly polished handles

ICE CREAM SCOOPS ON THE MARKET

IDEATION

This mock-up was a successful shape with nice curves, but it felt more comfortable in the left hand rather than th e intension of a right-hand dominant user.

Even though this mock-up is comfortable to hold, it has too many undercuts to be manufactured.

MOCK-UPS

With this completely new de-sign, this mock-up was overall proportional but too small for an average hand.

This final version achieved the accurate shape that I was going for, and obtained the correct proportions. This was my final pick for my scoop mold.

I chose this mock-up to move on to the final. However, this mock-up was too
