Response of Seven Year Old Girl CUSTOMER FEEDBACK Response of Seven Year Old Girl She expressed that she would want to play with the toy and that it interested her. Color preference for the toy was blue A target price of $15 was not seen as too expensive The airplane/boat combination of vehicle options was preferred over an airplane/car combination A design improvement she had was to improve the look of the tail

Summary and Conclusions We believe that this product is more unique than a different variation of a generic toy idea. This constructible vehicle design grants the customer liberty to make the decision on what he or she wants to make. It is also durable due to its plastic construction and lack of thin brittle parts. We can drive down the cost of the product by buying materials in bulk quantities during mass production. Conclusions Spending more time on the design would have made the product look more accurately like a plane or boat Having parts molded instead of printed would most likely be cheaper and more time efficient Designing on a 3D program prior to printing was helpful in visualizing how attachment would look together
