I. Demand Definition & Scenario Insights
1.User Pain Point Analysis
Identified core needs across outdoor, household, and office scenarios: lightweight (<2kg), rapid storage (<3s folding time), load-bearing safety (>150kg), durability (>5-year lifespan).
Defined “1㎡ storage space” standard, requiring folded volume to shrink to 1/4 of original size.
2.Competitive Technical Analysis
Traditional metal folding chairs: Strong but heavy/rust-prone; wooden chairs non-foldable; molded plastic chairs structurally rigid.
Key breakthrough focus: Achieve metal-grade strength through polymer material modification while retaining plastic’s lightweight properties.
II. Innovative Structural Design
1.Bionic Topology Structure
Adopted honeycomb hexagon mechanics with parametric modeling (e.g., Grasshopper) to create hollowed support frames, reducing weight by 37% without compromising strength.
X-shaped cross ribs at critical stress points increased compressive strength by 220%.
2.Patented Folding Mechanism
Dual-axis hinge system: 304 stainless steel core + self-lubricating POM bushings for 100,000+ fold cycles.
Magnetic latch + snap-lock dual safety: Tactile feedback (±0.5mm precision), operable single-handedly by all ages.
III. Material Science Breakthroughs
1.Composite Material Formula
Base: PP + 30% glass fiber (flexural modulus: 4500MPa)
Nano-silica additive (2%) increased surface hardness to 2H (pencil hardness test).
UV-resistant layer: Passed 2000hr xenon aging test (ΔE<1.5).
2.Low-Carbon Manufacturing
In-mold injection molding: Zero-weld monolithic forming, 99.3% yield rate.
Mold precision control: ±0.02mm tolerance ensures seamless folding mechanism alignment.
IV. Extreme Testing Validation
1.Mechanical Performance Tests
Dynamic fatigue test: Simulated 80,000 sit-stand cycles (200lb load) with zero deformation.
Low-temperature test: -30°C folding endurance (500 cycles), no hinge brittleness.
2.User Experience Optimization
3D pressure mapping: 45% larger seating contact area, 62% lower ischial pressure.
Fold force curve tuning: Peak operation force <5N, meeting ergonomic standards.
V. Core Value Proposition
1.Technical Advantages
World-first “plastic metallization” process: 58% lighter than competitors.
Folding durability exceeds EU EN12520 standard by 2.3x.
2.Commercial Impact
Modular design enables 5 variants (fishing/office/camping chairs, etc.).
40% lower logistics costs, 300% higher container loading efficiency.
