Your task is to design and manufacture a prototype product in response to the context outlined, that incorporates the given 1Gb USB memory stick circuit. CAD/CAM is to be used extensively in the development of your prototype. This will be a promotional 'freebie' used to publicise the launch of one of the following ventures:
- a new cloud based android or iPhone app
- the launch of a new web based music streaming site
- an information service for the 2012 Olympics
- the first film in a new science fantasy trilogy
You should also consider appropriate packaging and labelling to protect/promote/display the product.
Submission details:
As evidence of your developing capability in CAD/CAM you are required to produce……
1. a personal development ‘blog’ that highlights your ongoing professional development in this area. (see for example http://mp3ampfolio.blogspot.com/) 40%
The blog should be a selective presentation including evidence of-
- initial research and specification
- how you have integrated other design activities (eg.sketching / modelling) with CAD in refining and developing your initial ideas;
- how your chosen concept has been developed and enhanced by the use of CAD software;
- how the product concept is taken through to manufacture using CAM;
- a critical evaluation in which you have reflected on the effectiveness of the final outcome.
- Ongoing decision making must be clearly justified through critical analysis and comment (supported by appropriate referencing)
2. A visually dynamic practical outcome and associated packaging, demonstrating the effective use of CAM 60%
