Design study of a new product

Sammanfattning: This bachelor thesis in product development and design, done at Jönköping University in collaboration with Husqvarna AB, presents a design study for a new product. Jari Oikarinen and Alfred Smith performed the design study.  Initial research, including a project plan and a pilot study, provided the framework for the work ahead. The implementation contains a case study, concept study and an experiment involving the product. Different concepts were evaluated but one was chosen as most viable.  The design study finishes with the results, that some internal components needed to be changed or modified to operate the product, presentation of the final concept and the test of the product.  Lastly, further work is recommended based on this report.
