This Blog: Reflection on Product Sketches and Design Specifications

Practice:








One-Point Perspective:

A one-point perspective drawing means that the drawing has a single vanishing point, usually directly opposite the viewer's eye and usually on the horizon line. All lines parallel with the viewer's line of sight recede to the horizon towards this vanishing point.

3 rules for One Point Perspective Drawing:
- All horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon line.
- All diagonal lines only intersect the horizon line at the vanishing point.
- All vertical lines can intersect the horizon line anywhere.

Step 1: Draw a horizon line
Step 2: Draw the vanishing point
Step 3: Draw a simple shape anywhere on the paper. Either above or below the horizon line.
Step 4: Draw a line from the vanishing point to each corner of the shape. 
Step 5: Draw a horizontal and vertical line to form the sides of the shape.







Two-Point Perspective:

3 rules for Two-Point Perspective Drawing:
- All horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon line.
- All diagonal lines only intersect the horizon line at the vanishing point.
- All vertical lines can intersect the horizon line anywhere.

Step 1: Draw a horizon line
Step 2: Draw 2 vanishing point
Step 3: Draw a simple shape anywhere on the paper. Either above or below the horizon line.
Step 4: Draw a line from the vanishing point to each corner of the shape. 
Step 5: Draw a horizontal and vertical line to form the sides of the shape.

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
