Abstract
A foldable iron box is an optimized design concept unique from any current existing iron boxes in the world. This design focuses on the surface area of the base plate (sole plate) of the iron box. The alteration of the surface area of the sole plate is not available with current iron boxes. Hence, the same surface area is used to iron all types of clothing. This design focuses on alteration of the surface area of the sole plate depending on the field of cloth to be ironed. The new model has provision for the supply of heat to the required surface area, in turn, will deliver a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution. This design is built with the usage of surface modeling software CATIA. This new design mainly focuses on the industrial design of the iron box. The ergonomics and aesthetic are given at most consideration in this design.
