The ecological factor as a guideline for development of an electric coffee maker

The development of a product that takes into account the ecological issue is a necessity in the face of the problems generated by accelerated consumption and the difficulty in reusing, separating, dismantling and recycling materials. This work has as objective to show the exercise of development and reflection of the design of an electric coffee machine taking into account aspects related to ecodesign. The article is structured in a bibliographic review; Method used and, finally, the results achieved during the development process. The methodology is based on literature that deals with product development and is based mainly on the steps of Löbach (2001) as well as ecodesign guidelines (MANZINI, VEZZOLI, 2008). The result is the virtual-prototype and the mocape application of the coffeemaker proposal and the complexity of the development of a product with an ecological appeal stands out
