Open Ended Design Project (ODP)
This is a design that functions similar to a staple, but uses pins. Using three springs, the device automatically feed the pins, and launches them at the press of a button. To load it again, the user simply needs to slide the handle up again and lock the system.
Traditional pinning methods can be time-consuming and difficult, particularly for individuals with physical limitations or those new to sewing. Accuracy is critical yet pins can be hard to handle, a large number is required, and when done incorrectly can damage delicate fabric. As such, there is a need for Auto-Pin to simplify the pinning process, make it safer, more accessible, and more enjoyable.
Therefore, we designed a stapler-like device for sewing pins to simplify the insertion process. It aims to automate the pinning process for sewing. This process is known to be rather tedious and difficult; furthermore, it is precision is critical as mistakes can lead to sewing errors, like bunching, that will lose even more time.
