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. | ||
