What is a Bench Scraper?
A bench scraper is a flat, rectangular kitchen tool—usually metal or plastic—used to cut, scrape, and lift dough or food from a work surface. It’s a versatile tool commonly used in baking, food prep, and for cleaning countertops.
How can bench scraper form be modified to better its use case?

Impact of Multiples on form factor
Things that had to be considered were influences of the manufacturing process and how that would affect the design of the object. (ie draft angles, materiality, cost, market appeal.)

Creating a master mold
This iteration focuses on improving manufacturability and repeatability. The form was adjusted for silicone molding, incorporating draft angles and repeated features to create a streamlined, easily reproducible design.
