Our Design Prototype The design our team of engineers has developed is a mug with a hole for a finger curved allowing for grip with just one finger Even people without disabilities can use them, would still be marketable to all consumers

Issues and Resolutions PROBLEMS • Different size fingers and fingers missing • Spinning out of hand • Hot coffee burning hand or finger SOLUTIONS • Custom S, M, L hole sizes as well as custom to which finger utilized • If there is much trouble with spinning, lip can be added to rim of mug • Mug is made of UHTC

UHTC UHTC stands for Ultra High Temperature Ceramic These ceramics are used by NASA to resist the heat of their engines Can resist temperatures of up to 2000 degrees Celsius

Prototype Our engineers have put together a clay prototype that you can see here representing what the final product will look like Finished product will be lighter and more aesthetic

Conclusion There were many difficulties in making this design such as choosing between many great ideas This design could really make in impact on peoples lives to help them live more comfortably
