Moody Judy Cupholder

For my design class, I was tasked with designing a cupholder for "Moody Judy," an alternative company aimed at edgy teenagers. To achieve this, I was given a single square of acrylic and a paper coffee cup off of which to model my product.

I decided to opt for a snake design (so cool and edgy), so I started with paper and cardboard prototypes. I then created my desired vectors in SolidWorks before laser cutting the final design. The 2-D shape was then heat bent using a heat gun to model the appropriate curvature.

Features of the cupholder include its sleek, thin shape, its lack of a need for assembly, and its built-in teabag holder (the serpent's tongue).
