Photographer applies iris design to Aperture Wrench concept

Photography hobbyist and industrial designer Jordan Steranka has published images of a new concept tool called the Aperture Wrench, a wrench with a design inspired by a camera’s diaphragm. Unlike an ordinary wrench, the Aperture Wrench features blade-like elements that open and close via a rotating wheel and lock in place with the press of a button.

Steranka’s goal was to design a wrench that could be adjusted to fit any nut size, removing the guesswork involved in finding a correctly-sized wrench. The end result is a tool with aperture blades, an adjustment dial, a locking button, and a built-in light for better visibility. As with any concept, though, it’s possible the design will never make its way into mass production.

ZCorp’s 3D Printer replicates a wrench

10 Jan

3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other additive manufacturing technologies. 3D printers offer product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. Advanced 3D printing technologies yield models that can serve as product prototypes.
