Description:
I have an Idea for a product which teaches beginning students to correctly insert the sax mouthpiece while playing and maintain proper breathing technique. The basis for this device is an incentive spirometer, which is already often used by wind instrument players.

This company has the same concept as me. I would like to take that concept and put it in a more compact and aesthetically pleasing device. The device will be made of hard plastic. Anything instrument related incorporated into the desighn will be nice.

I will provide pictures of my BASIC desighn idea. I would like for the desighner to play around with the shape and form. But the elevated angle where the mouthpiece is inserted MUST be incorporated to allow the user to be able to blow and also view the ball. Also, the tiny built in ledge on the top front of the mouthpiece must also be incorporated as it will force the student to put the correct amount of mouthpiece in his or her mouth.
Wants:
The device must allow the user to see the ball while also blowing

Play around with the forms but the general shape of the mouthpiece should stay the same. As long as the body of the device incorporates the concept shown in the link
provided , I am fine with different shapes.
I would also like to incorporate an airflow change switch somewhere on the device which would allow the student to decrease or increase the air allowed through.
Don't Wants:
I will accept any idea that I like, as long as it incorporates the two ideas.
Ask for Sample:
Yes
Software:
  1. One that would allow me eventually 3D print.

What kind of material are using for 3D printer? If It is not plastic material, should have some design suitable for that material

Smart Water Carafe
- a glass Water Carafe that does not drip upon pouring - a smart lid that covers it up the glass part, which could block lemon slices / fruits from flowing out. It blocks dust from going in when its rested. - lid made with a combination of ABS resin, stainless steel, and silicone. Could be poured in 360 degrees all directions, and you don't have to open the lid while pouring. - prefer to have same functions / aesthetic like the Menu / Kinto water carafe - 3 sizes, 0.7L, 1L, 1.3L. Best to share 3 sizes of tubs with 1 single lid. But not a must. - Body made of boro-silicate glass, which is mouth blown - Can be lifted / held by one hand. So a reasonable diameter is required. - Dishwasher safe, no glueing.

Lipstick & Liquid Lipstick 3D Product Design Contest
My team and I are currently in the process of developing a luxury cosmetic brand and we need 3D content designs for our manufacturers to refer to for the molding of the components. We need a design for our lipstick as well as our liquid lip stick (similar to lip gloss). Again, the product will be high-end luxury; so the design should emulate that. The colors should consist of chrome/metallic/silver, black and or white. The design should be sleek and thin. Although we prefer classic silhouettes, you can attempt to subtly incorporate geometric shapes, along the lines of a diamond. Don't be afraid to have fun with it, but don't have to much fun! You can look to the presentation and other attachments for inspiration and direction. If you guys have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
