Project 7.5 Engineering Documentation Automoblox
Project 7.5 Engineering Documentation AutomobloxIntroductionThe reverse engineering process involves the study of an object’s visual, functional, and structural qualities. Though it does not imply redesign, reverse engineering is often a tool that is used to aid in the redesign of an object so that its performance may be improved. Other reasons for performing reverse engineering include reducing an object’s negative environmental impacts, maximizing manufacturing techniques through the substitution of more appropriate materials, discovering how a competitor’s product works, and increasing a company’s profit margin.In this project you and your team will continue your effort as engineers from a novelty toy company working to design accessories or enhancements to the existing Automoblox vehicles. Remember, the design intent is that the accessories or enhancements can be purchased separately but will work with the existing toys. Your team has already completed the task of reverse engineering one of the Automoblox vehicles and reporting your findings (in Activity 6.5). In this project you will detail the Automoblox vehicle with technical drawings in order to provide detailed information necessary to design accessories and enhancements that will properly connect with the toy. In addition, you will begin the process of assembling a portfolio to present your reverse-engineering efforts and technical documentation of the product. You will add to this portfolio later to document your design of accessories and enhancements to the product. Until then, the Portfolio will provide the product information on which you will base your later product design. EquipmentEngineering notebookProduct Disassembly ChartAutomoblox vehicleProcedureCreate technical drawings to document the Automoblox vehicle. Then assemble a Portfolio detailing the results of your work. At this time the Portfolio should include the following:Title PagePurpose of the Reverse-Engineering Project (reread the Introduction of this activity)Technical documentation (a set of working drawings) of the product to detail the parts and assembly of your Automoblox vehicle. This should include:A dimensioned part drawing for each part of the Automoblox vehicle.A ballooned isometric view of each subassembly and other orthographic and/or section view(s) of the subassemblies as needed to fully describe the sub-assemblies.A ballooned isometric view of the complete assembly (with all parts assembled together) and orthographic and/or section view(s) of the assembly as needed to fully describe the assembly.A parts list giving part names, material, density, volume, surface area, and mass.General notes, including general tolerances.Documentation detailing the reverse engineering process and finding as presented in Project 6.5 Product Reverse Engineering Presentation. Visual AnalysisFunctional AnalysisStructural AnalysisConclusions and Recommendations. Offer suggestions as to how the design of the existing toy vehicle could be improved or the cost of manufacture reduced. Note that this pertains only to improving the existing design and not to the design of accessories or enhancements. The design of accessories and enhancements will be completed in a later activity.ConclusionWhy is detailed documentation important in the design of a product?What is the purpose of engineering documentation in reverse engineering?Do you agree with the Automoblox claim that their vehicles provide opportunities for children to practice creative problems solving, gross and fine motor skills, and visio-spatial processing? Justify your answer with specific examples on how each is accomplished, or not. ................
