Unit 1 Design Challenge: Spool Holder
Define the Problem Problem: We need something to hold the spools of plastic
Do background research What information would we need to know?
Specify requirements Must fit a normal spool of plastic Uses the least amount of plastic possible Can use with 608 bearings Bonus if you don’t use bearings
Brainstorm, Evaluate and Choose Come up with as many ideas as you can: Quantity over quality Combine ideas Evaluate and pick one For your notebooks, I should see evidence of a few different ideas, list or pictures
Develop a Solution Each person in your group is going to use CAD (Tinkercad or Inventor) to design a solution. As a group, you will decide which one it the best, and we will 3D print one per group. Use a decision matric to decide the best, if you can agree For your notebooks, either make a quick sketch of your final design or print a picture of your cad model
Test Solution Print it.
After it is printed, evaluate it. How effective was your solution? Recommended improvements How would you optimize/redesign is you could start over? General Recommendations.
Communicate results Gallery walk when we are done.
