A group of mechanical engineering graduate students have created a “recyclable laptop” that can be completely disassembled by hand in under 30 seconds.
As part of a corporate-sponsored design class, Mechanical Engineering 310, “Project Based Design, Engineering and Development,” the Stanford students collaborated with students at Finland’s Aalto University to design and build the “Bloom” prototype laptop over the course of a year.
At the beginning of 2009, Autodesk, the team’s assigned sponsor, asked the students to create a fully recyclable consumer-electronics product using the company’s design software.
