Abstract
The aim of this project was to evaluate the current situation, to create concepts for a driver’s seat – suspension – tilting combination, which is safe to handle but still has good manufacturability at a reasonable price.
Constant dialog with the supervisors and a field related specialist, as well as designing using a 3D designing tool (SolidWorks 2019) were the methods used to achieve the set goal and to conclude the project.
The project concludes in a design concept for a seat suspension, combined with a re-worked tilting mechanism. This process of product development and design work concealed many challenges. To be successful, a combination of knowledge, education and access to fitting tools were needed as well as motivation, foresight, and calmness. Sometimes all the first named attributes of a successful combination to face the challenges seemed to lack, so calmness turned out to be one of the most important factors during the process.
