Aesthetics It’s a black abs product with a smooth surface, it is heavy to hold and

make to fit one hand size.

Cost The expense of this product was €20.00.

Customer There was no specific consumer in mind for this product, it was intended

for general use for everyone.

Environment The automatic can opener was intended to be used in the kitchen or on the

go. Because the product is made from abs it can easily be recycled.

Safety The product can be dangerous if the customer is unaware for the blade on

the underside of the product as it does not have a guard. The tin after

being opened had a sharp edge to it.

Size 130.5 x 60.5 x 220 millimetres. The size and shape is similar to a computer

mouse.

Function The product is used to open cans, it can be a bit help to those who have

hand dexterity issues.

Materials The product is made from abs. I believe a combination of abs and silicone

rubber would make a better material combo and help improve grip.
