Design

Portagami's design journey began by identifying common origami challenges, focusing on edge alignment, creasing, and cutting. The team's collaborative effort yielded a 3D-printable, multi-functional toolkit designed with TinkerCad, addressing these issues. The portable case provides a flat surface for origami anywhere, and features a scoring groove, a scale for measurement, and a cavity for precise alignment, resulting in a user-friendly and stress-free origami experience.

Portagami's user-friendly design prioritizes convenience, offering a flat surface for origami on the go. It caters to precise folding needs with a scoring groove, measurement scale, and corner-aligning cavity. The inclusion of a specially designed card ensures crisp scoring and the creation of perfect 90-degree edges, addressing the specific challenges faced by origami enthusiasts.

The design evolution of Portagami involved continuous improvement based on user feedback and observations. Through multiple iterations, the toolkit was refined to meet diverse user needs. The result is a meticulously crafted, accessible, and therapeutic tool for creative expression, providing a solution for origami enthusiasts and those seeking cognitive benefits in various age groups.
