Objective TargetTime to Learn ≤ 15 seconds to learn
Durability ≥ 20,000 uses or 2 yearsManufacturability Person owning 3D printer can
make device with instructions provided
Safety Zero safety incidents in 2 years
Museum Regulations
0 violations of regulations; specifically <5 lbs of force to operate and <4 inches protrusion
Size ≤ 0.6m x 0.6m x 0.25m
Future Plans● Produce a museum-ready display case for our client● Add Braille instructions on the display table● Conduct testing with visually impaired users● Complete durability testing● Consult professional to determine manufacturability.
Conclusions● We have created an interactive device to turn the
pages of a 3D-printed book● The device satisfies museum regulations, and size
constraints● It is easy to use, and can be displayed in a variety of
settings● The device uses a conveyor belt mechanism and a
tab to push the pages into view
We are working with artist Tom Burtonwood of the Art Institute of Chicago who has created a 3D printed book of Louis Sullivan’s architectural ornaments for the visually impaired. The book is situated on a central column with 10 pages spread out from the center in a fanned fashion. Unfortunately, due to the nature of 3D printed plastic and the uneven distribution of weight around the spine, the book is very fragile. To counteract that fragility, we have created a device that will rotate the pages in a safe way for both the users and the book.

ProblemWe are working with an artist who has created a 3D printed book of LouIs Sullivan’s architectural ornaments for the visually impaired.The book is fairly fragile and is highly susceptible to misuse or damage. We needed to create a device that would rotate the pages in a safe way for both the users and the book.

Features● Conveyor Belt
○ The conveyor belt is made from Vex parts that fit around 3D-printed gears
● Tab○ Pushes each page across the viewing
area. Triangular shape prevents bending● Wedges
○ 3D printed wedges separate each page by 28 degrees to ensure a 100 degree viewing angle on the displayed page
● Spine○ Bearings making up spine support pages
and turn smoothly to reduce applied force
Our goal is to create a safe, durable, and accessible device to rotate the pages of a 3D printed book
designed for a visually impaired audience.

Our goal is to create a safe, durable, and accessible device to rotate the pages of a 3D printed book designed for a visually impaired audience.
Solution● Conveyor belt mechanism with a
vertical tab that, rotates a page of the book across the viewing area and prepares the next page for viewing when the user turns a hand crank.
● It utilizes 3D printing technology and is intended to be open-sources so anyone with access to a 3D printer and common hardware store can make it.
