The main idea of “Quetzalli RST” is to help the people to take care about their bodies, because of the skin cancer that have affect a lot of people, other think that my design search is the sustainability in all kind of things that it could help, for example this design could help by the think that it’s portable and it doesn’t occupy so many space for its transportation, other thing that is important is that this product doesn’t spend a lot of material, you can buy the plastic (PLA) and with one sheet you can make a lot of pieces and build so many “Quetzalli’s” other think that I consider is important is that this design can be used on so many spaces that you want (it can be used on the beach, on an hotel, on a house, etc…)

The material that was chosen was the “Polylactic Acid (PLA) Plastic” because this material is resistant and you can play with the elasticity that the material have, other thing that I consider is the most important is that this material is made from fermented plant starch (usually Corn) and because of that this material is biodegradable and it helps the planet on the sustainability think.

The process that “Quetzalli RST” need is to buy a sheet or rolls of the Plastic (PLA), cut the plastic with the Quetzalli form, make the front base thermoforming it and then add the 4 rivets, and you have it, you can enjoy the “Quetzalli RST”.
