Customer/Market Requirements

The project sponsor requires a device that is easily adjustable, durable, and contains only mechanical components.

Design Challenges

The design team is focused on building a lightweight structure that allows the desk to be adjusted while carrying 200 lbs.

Outcomes

The team has developed a conceptual design that will fulfill the clients requirements. To fulfill these requirements the team will use two remote release gas springs that will easily adjust the desk with infinite number of increments.
