Design and Manufacture a Mobile Phone Accessory
This project concentrates on the design and manufacture of a mobile phone accessory using a range of sketching and software, alongside laser cutting and 3D printing processes. Students apply the tools in 123D Design to model the accessory, before manufacturing the product. Students consider the designing and manufacturing processes available at an early stage of the project as well as creating a customer profile. They also create a range of initial hand drawn designs and ideas to aid the modelling process using the software. The model created can be converted to an STL file and manufactured using CAM machinery such as a 3D printer.
The project can be extended in the following ways: *Modelling in foam and card before using software *Rendering designs using simple and complex rendering packages *D&T concepts *Developing an initial idea into a complex solution *CAD Modelling *CAM Manufacture *Designing for a customer
