Abstract
The NerveX fidget toy is a modern and stylish alternative to traditional fidget toys, designed especially for adults. Many fidget toys are made for children, which can make them feel out of place in professional or social settings. NerveX solves this problem by offering a discreet and effective way to manage stress, anxiety, and conditions like ADHD and OCD.
One of the key features of NerveX is its smooth, endless spinning motion. This repetitive movement helps people with ADHD stay focused and engaged in tasks. It can also provide comfort for individuals with OCD by giving them a calming action to manage compulsive behaviors. The spinning motion is simple yet effective, helping to reduce stress and improve concentration without being distracting to others.
To make sure NerveX meets the needs of its users, I conducted research and gathered feedback from adults aged 20 to 28. This helped shape the final design to be both functional and appealing. The feedback highlighted the importance of a high-quality fidget toy that is durable, effective, and comfortable to use in daily life.
NerveX is made using 3D printing with two different materials to ensure durability and performance. The spinning band is made from TPU, a flexible and long-lasting material that allows smooth motion without wearing out quickly. The outer frame is made from PLA, a sturdy material that gives the toy structure and strength. This combination makes NerveX both reliable and long-lasting. The 3D printing process also makes it easy to produce in larger quantities, keeping costs low and ensuring accessibility for more people.
As I work towards completing the project, I am focusing on finalizing the design, improving production, and getting ready for distribution. To track progress, I will compare my estimated costs with actual expenses to make sure the project stays within budget. I will also monitor sales to understand how well NerveX is performing in the market. This will help determine if any improvements are needed to increase its success.
NerveX is more than just a fidget toy it is a practical and stylish tool designed to help adults stay focused and reduce stress. With its smooth spinning motion, strong materials, and discreet design, it provides an effective way for people to manage anxiety and improve concentration in their daily lives.
