Leather Bite Guard
The final design was made of leather and velcro. Versions could be adapted to different clients depending on if they need protection farther up the arm or covering more of the hand.
Design and Prototyping
The great thing about leather is that it is easy to work, safe for the end user, very tough and stylish all at the same time. This allows for a lot of rapid prototyping to workout size, coverage, and placement on the arm.
Cutting and Finishing
We cut the leather both manually and on a CNC crafting cutter. We found that manual was the easiest and we simply did not gain anything by adding to the complexity of the production process.
