 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. 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.

 **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 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 was the most fun part of the process and thanks to the laser cutter and rhino files I could cut the vest and the circuit using different materials to test their level of accuracy and chose the final one for the first prototype. This was the most fun part of the process and thanks to the laser cutter and rhino files I could cut the vest and the circuit using different materials to test their level of accuracy and chose the final one for the first prototype.
