Practical 4

 Making a game with our cardboard knowledge from Practical 3.


For this week's practical, we were tasked to build a game using cardboard, based on our knowledge on our cardboard joinery. We initially had our own individual ideas; Pinball Machine (upgraded from Practical 3), Foosball Table, Basketball game, and a game which combines both shooting and basketball.

After a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong thought discussion, we chose the game which combines both shooting and basketball as this will appeal more to Primary School children. 

We had used joineries such as score & bend, zip ties, and hot glue to construct our game. we also brought some things from our own houses🏡 such as wooden chopsticks🥢 and rubberbands, to make our mechanisms for our shooters🌠. 


The mechanism for this game's shooting device is powered by rubber band. When pulled back, elastic potential energy is stored and is ready to shoot the marbles into the holes.

Week 5

Design for Materials (DFM) Design for materials is the opposite of MFD. Instead of choosing the best material for the product, DFM is changing a design so that a particular material can be used. DFM can be used when the material used is expensive and we want to make sure we do not waste it. We can then use DFM to create a design which can make full use of the material, so that we will not waste any of it. Another example when DFM is used is when the material is not commonly used. We can then used DFM to make a product using the material. We can then cut down the used of commonly use materials with another material which is not commonly used. For our assignment, we had come up with a material and use it to enhance the functionality of an existing product through some changed in the design. We had chose the material "Alcantara" which is mostly used for making car seats' cover. We had thought to use Alcantara to make phone covers, or any product which requires a good grip. T

Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) CADD is the use of software to draw and design physical components or to layout processes. With CADD, shapes and lines can be drawn easily and quickly, content can be easily copied, edited, saved and shared. CADD software also allows accurate calculation of dimensions and more advanced software can even accurately estimate the kinds and amount of materials used of the length of manufacturing time, which facilitates budget planning. It is hence beneficial for a product design to know how to use a CADD software. We had learnt to use Fusion360 to model shapes or designs. We can also use a 3D Printer to print our design we had made in Fusion360. In class, we had learn how to make a simple keyring and learn how to hasten drawing process through the use of sketch constraints.  Some of the common tools meaning used are: Offset  - Copy selected sketch geometry a specified distance away from the original geometry. Extrude - To make a 2 Dimension shape
