1. Design for Manufacturing Team: Constraints:  Main construction material should be wood  Other materials such as metal, fabric, or plastic may be used  The product should be approximately “shoe box” size (1 square)  Functionality –  Aesthetics –  Universal Appeal –  Originality –idea  Safety – Design or invent a product that can be produced by our class in the Engineering Lab.

2. Team: Design for Manufacturing Investigation: Investigate similar products to your ideas (internet, photos) Identify and investigate materials to be used. How does this photo help you in designing your product? Determine appeal of product (Market Research) 1

3. Design for Manufacturing Team: Possible Solutions:  List 4 possible solutions  Create 4 3-D sketches of your product  List the pros and cons of the design idea on the back of the sketches

4. Decision Making Matrix Criteria1234 Functionality 1-5 Aesthetics 1-5 Universal appeal 1-5 Originality 1-5 Material wood yes or no Size yes or no Safety yes or no Totals

5. Design for Manufacturing Team: Chosen Solution: Investigate similar products to your ideas (internet, photos) Identify and investigate materials to be used. Determine appeal of product (Market Research)

6. Design for Manufacturing Team: Developmental Work  Should include pictures of the design work and creation of the prototype  There should be captions of for each photo

7. Design for Manufacturing Team: Testing  Will the product function as planned?  Is the product sized appropriately?

8. Design for Manufacturing Team: Evaluation  Your design solution  Yourself Evaluation of your design solution will include: What are the strengths and weaknesses of the final design? Self-evaluation should answer such questions as: Did I work well with my team? What did I contribute to my team? Something new I learned?
