  1. Puzzle Cube Project Ms. Bruce Grove City High School

  2. Constraints • 27 individual blocks • You will design 5 parts • Each part will consist of 3-6 individual pieces • No 2 parts can be the same • Some parts should interlock • Parts should come together as a cube • Each Cube is 1” by 1” by 1”

  3. Design Process • Define a Problem • Brainstorm • Research and Generate Ideas • Identify Criteria and Specify Constraints • Explore Possibilities • Select an Approach • Develop a Design Proposal • Make a Model or Prototype • Test and Evaluate the Design using Specifications • Refine the Design • Create or Make Solution • Communicate Processes and Results – ITEA Standards for Technological Literacy

  4. In a typical Class • Students will… • Brainstorm different part designs & sketch in isometric view • Design & sketch in isometric 2 design solutions • Choose a solution and build the puzzle cube • Draw multiview drawings for each part • Draw each part in CAD • Assemble parts in CAD • Develop final working drawings in CAD

  5. Example Brainstorming

  6. Example Sketched Solution

  7. Example Parts in Inventor

  8. Working Drawing

  9. Exploded View

  10. Standards • Design Process • Isometric Sketching • Multiview Sketching • Dimensioning • CAD Solid Modeling • CAD Assembly Drawing • CAD Multiview

  11. Any Questions?

  12. Marketing

  13. Introduction • Concurrent engineering requires the use of many people outside the engineering design office. • Marketing is a key element in how a part may be designed, produced, packaged and advertised.

  14. Commercially designed parts must be manufactured at a cost that does not cut into profits. • The product needs to be packaged for shipping in a cost effective manner as well.

  15. The following slides will discuss the marketing factors that have an effect on the design process.

  16. Cost Analysis includes expenses from the following departments: - Engineering - Manufacturing - Inventory Control - Engineering - Engineering - Manufacturing - Inventory Control - Shipping - Engineering - Manufacturing - Engineering - Manufacturing - Inventory Control - Shipping - Sales Photo from MJE Corporation Photo from Delta Tool and Manufacturing Inc Photo from GBI

  17. Minimizing Costs Was an engineering analysis done to: • Test the use of less expensive materials? • Redesign packaging to cut cost? • Cut the cost of maintenance, repairs, and operation? • Check the reliability of the cost estimate?

  18. Minimizing Costs Optimization of production costs Use of existing equipment, processes and facilities. Low cost tooling. Utilization of standard parts. Use of new and more efficient processes. Need to cut down on inspection and testing.

  19. Packaging Design Factors Size of the Package Shape of the Package Ability to Stack Packages Container is Structurally Sound Product Protection Low Cost Eye Catching Minimal Use of Material Standardized for Transport Dust and Dirt Humidity Extremes Vibration from Transport Temperature Extremes Shock Photo from LANCO INC

  20. Packaging Design Factors Foreign Languages Used Where Necessary Color Printed Text Art Work Fonts: Readability, Style Size of Text Color: Attention Getting Warnings: Chemical, Fragile, Biological Special Instructions: Quantity to Stack, How to Open, Other Associations with Holidays, Nature Relationship to Human Feelings Trademarks Logos Photos from Transparent Container Company

  21. Packaging Design Factors Differences and Attractiveness Compared to Competitors Competitive Environmental Disposal of Packaging: Biodegradable? Recyclable? Minimal use of Material: For Cutting Cost. For Cutting Waste. Photo from LANCO INC

  22. Advertising • For advertising purposes, renderings and illustrations of products are necessary to show the public. • The concept or system design documentation helps the public understand what it is that you designed.

  23. This week • You will complete all sketches • You will complete a marketing plan • Including Pricing • Packaging examples

  24. Next Week • You are to complete CAD Drawings (after approval of sketches) • You will receive your blocks • You will make your container

  25. ANY QUESTIONS?
