The problem: Difficulty of arbitration and damaging current straps.

• Back Support: The Idea for a back support comes from the fact that by offering
• E-textile application:
• How should it work:

• STEP 1: Research for inspiration of back supports and build electric circuit.

During this first step I did a research on back supports for upper back that already existed and fit my purpose and also make with breadboard, cables and a button for the touching function.

• STEP 2: Design in Rhino of the vest and electric system that should be couped with vest and grasshopper for the different patterns for back support

THE VEST: In this step things got a little more complicated with the software designs but after finding an inspiration I designed in Rhino using the 3D body model with had for dimensions. But using different layers and the previous experience with Rhino helped to shorten time.

THE CIRCUIT: After dimensioning it I transformed from 3D to 2D made some arrangements and created the electric system in a different layer based on this 2D design of the vest. This step was necessary for the laser cutter, since I knew I waned to use it for cutting different e-textiles and testing with them.

THE BACK SUPPORT: For the back support I decided to apply the knowledge acquired dur
