Can Crusher Nate Kunzer, Charvee Makwana, Keval Amin, Grant Wetherton
Agenda CAD Drawings Bill of Materials Build Process Test Plan Prototype Lessons Learned Summary • Team Roles • Team Constitution • Timeline • 10 steps of 12-step Design Process • Background/Justification • Customer • Scope • Deliverables
Team Roles Roles • Leader- Nate Kunzer • Scribe- Keval Amin • Scribe- Charvee Makwana • Timekeeper- Grant Wetherton
Team Constitution • Respect each other • Avoid blaming others for any failures • NO idea will be ridiculed • NO ONE member will dominate over others • Respect each others opinions
Problem Statement • Work for Alpha Engineering Company • Disposition needs to be reduced by 70% • Failure to do so results in $.05 penalty per can • Device that crushes cans to as little as 30% of their original size
Background/Justification • Have to reduce 70% of can disposition • For every can not crushed; $0.05 penalty
Customers • Alpha Engineering Company • Mr.Pritchard- ITC Teacher
Scope Resources • Ms. Hernacki- dimensions, calculations • Mr. Hund- CAD • Mr. Pritchard- Building, dimensioning Materials • Aspen wood • Ply wood • Nails • Wood Glue
Scope (cont) • Customer Constraints • 18”x24”x30”. • one simple machine. • can must fall into bin • No human intervention • can bin must slide in and out. • Must be manually operated.
Deliverables • Technical Report • PowerPoint Presentation • Final Can Crusher • CAD Drawings
Brainstorming • History of Can Crushers • Self-Loading system • Purpose of a can crusher • Relation to real world • Amount of cans crushed at once • Size of hole where cans fall, once crushed
Research & Generate Ideas We can use the following simple machines… • Lever • Axle • Pulley Consider the following when building… • Dimensions of an aluminum can • What kind of wood will be the most stable
Identify Criteria & Specify Constraints • At most must be 18” by 30” by 24” • Needs one simple Machine • Bin must hold 20 crushed cans • Must be manually operated • All parts must be fabricated • Cans must fall into the bin once crushed
Select an Approach Scale 1(worst)-5(best) Scale: 1(worst)-5 (best)
Type of Binding Scale: 1(worst)-5(best)
Size of Wood Scale: 1(worst)-5(best)
Type of Wood Scale: 1(worst)-5(best)
Bill of Materials Total =
Build Process • Can Bin • Can Body • Stopper • Connector • Lever • Crusher • Final Assembly
Prototype • Could not always follow build process • Helpful and gave ideas in building • Some parts did not fit together
Refine • Bought wood that was stable • Re-made handle so that it was longer • Re-made entire can crusher • Re-made hole in handle
Lessons Learned • Adjust to a work group and different people • Manage our time and use it wisely • Don't procrastinate • Problem solve
Summary • Communication skills • Built can crusher from scratch • Problem solved
