D.T. Resistant Materials – Evaluation

I feel that my product has carry out all of the essential criteria although near of the desired criteria arent fulfilled. This includes* Incorporated Lights* A Combination of Materials* Be used for placing an endeavor on outgoThe reason behind these specifications not being fulfilled was in the first place due to settleations or the way it would pee to be incorporate into the design I chose. If I decided to incorporate lights, the price would keep back rose as well(p) as me having to make the boxes to a greater extent bulky making them a lot more operose to move and customise. A combination of materials wasnt used because of complications and problems which I will explain later and to be used for placing an object on top, the product would become less customis qualified, nevertheless an add on could be intentional for my product in the future tense which would allow this, but as current because of time scale and normal problems (which I will explain) this is an unavai lable feature.What it does and how good it is at doing itMy product is designed to allow users to store objects such(prenominal) as books and paperwork in. Teenagers, my target audience, would be able to customise the product by adding different tops as well as a different combination of boxes of which came in two sizes. The formation I designed allowed the boxes to be placed on top of to separately one other as well as beside each other. subsequently testing, I found that the average sized box fitted perfectly, mainly due to my look which I carried out earlier. Papers unfortunately didnt fit without aid such as a folder or possibly something which allowed the paper to footstall on end. Having said this, the product was perfectly able to stand the cant and the customisable feature with everything lining up with little add on features which gave way of life for error as well as being extra features to the set.After asking other 15/16 year olds, comments were very uncondition al particularly with the engraved design on the side which matched with the add on spacers as well as the incident the boxes could be stacked or put on the side. They also liked the idea of the customisable top which could be turned into a different wide range of add-ons which could have been added to in the future if desired.There were few negative comments which were probably due mainly to pure politeness Having said this, the ones I received were well constructed such as the fact that paper couldnt be placed flat without it glutinous out the side as well as the fact that the preference of finish allowed the pine to show which was of a colour too silklike to some peoples preference.Modifications and/due to ProblemsOne major problem I came up against was the fact that I was unable to cast a peg. This was due to limitations of acquaintance on casting as well as the time limit I was restricted against. Our first trial was shown on my developing ideas segment where hardly one h alf of the peg seemed to come out correctly. This, unfortunately, make me skip the variety of materials desired criteria.Another problem was accuracy. I was only making one of many of these products and because of this I opted to create the top headquarters by hand. Having done this I soon realised that it was very difficult and time consuming to get it correctly placed. Due to this fact I modified the size of the dowel from 8mm to 6mm which meant that the 8mm hole will now have 6mm expansion slotted into it with the top plate. Because of time restrictions, it wasnt possible to create other add-ons such as the CD rack I planned earlier on. Instead I opted in a different material which would make the product more appealing (aesthetically pleasing).Accuracy was also another problem which I go about when joining the boxes together. I originally planned to join the boxes directly against each other. Because of 8mm holes being in the top and the bottom, 8mm dowel had to be used and th e fact is that there was no room for error which became a problem. I resolved this by creating a spacer which contained 6mm dowel which would slot into both the bottom and top box. This was a viable solution.Design problems also caused the boxes to be connected sideway only one possible direction as the boxes would not slot into each other on one side. This problem was one which I didnt fix as the boxes could still tessellate one way which do this problem very minor.
