ADI Medals 2012 - Gold

Marion's proposal is an identification system for tetra briks and cans, customized for blind people. The result is a band composed of two elements: a flexible silicone platinum, for adaptation to different types of packaging, and the other a custom stamp made of rigid ABS plastic.

«Vinculum» helps to recognize the contents of the carton and cans without having to smell their contents every time you take something from the fridge.

The additive manufacturing system, chosen for its precision, allows customization and detail is required for this piece. It also justified by the reduced number of parts to be produced (less than 0.2% of the Spanish population is blind).

Jury Verdict: For being a project that has identified a clear area of need and has developed a simple idea and to respond effectively. The Jury has also valued the great process of investigation carried out.
