ASSIGNMENT 9

9.1 Examine the detail drawings for a product designed by a nearby manufacturing company. Be sure you can identify the actual shape, dimensions, and tolerances. What other information is contained in the drawing?

Assembly the design part by using Catia software

Dimension of Structure

Label of Structure Diagram and Bill of Material

ASIGNMENT 8

Assignment 8.1

Look your design to find some common consumer product. Identify which are primary modular, integral, or mixed product architecture.

______________________________________________________________________

Modular product

Modular products may be defined as machines, assemblies or components that accomplish an overall function through combination of distinct building blocks or modules. A modular product development is one in which the input and output relationships between components, that is, the component interfaces, in a product have been fully specified and standardized.

To exploit the benefits of modular product development, it is crucial to have modularization in mind from the start of the design process, and not only as an afterthought when all components are developed.

Integral product architecture

Integral product may be defined as functional elements are implemented by multiple chunks, or a chunk may implement many functions and interaction between chunks is poorly defined. Besides, integral architecture generally increase performance and reduces costs for any specific product model.

Existing Cloth Dryer In The Market.

Proposed Cloth Dryer

1st Draft of Design

ASSIGNMENT 7

QUESTION

In the search for more environmentally friendly design, paper cups have replaced Styrofoam cups in most fast-food restaurants. These cups are less effective insulators and the paper cups often too hot for the hand. A design team is in search of a better disposable coffee cup. The designs to be evaluated are: (a) a standard Styrofoam cup, (b) a rigid injection-molded cup with a handle, (c) a paper cup with a cardboard sleeve, (d) a paper cup with a pull-out handle, and (e) a paper cup with a cellular wall. These design concepts are to be evaluated with the Styrofoam cup as the datum.

The engineering characteristics on which the cups are evaluated are:

Temperature in the hand

Temperature of the outside of the cup

Material environmental impact

Indenting force of cup wall

Porosity of cup wall

Manufacturing complexity

Ease of stacking the cups

Ease of use by customer

Temperature loss of coffee over time

Estimated cost for manufacturing the cup in large quantities

Using your knowledge of fast-food coffee cups, use the Pugh concept selection method to select the most promising design.

ANSWER

Pugh Concept Chart 1

Pugh Concept Chart 2

From the result, we can conclude that concept C has the highest number of positive and lowest number of negative compared to other design concepts. So, we choose design concept C which is paper cup with cardboard sleeve to replace the Styrofoam cup.

ASSIGNMENT 6

Create a concept map to track your progress through a team brainstorming exercise. Show your map to those present during the session and record their comments.
