Mechanical Design Brief

(All Mechanical Engineering programs)

Design a fixed-reference mechanical system capable of picking up a standard 330ml drink can and dispensing the contents into a predefined container.

 

• Performance
  • The system must have a fixed point of reference
  • The system must be self-supporting 
  • Mechanical – Capable of picking up and pouring a standard 330ml drink can
  • Medical – Capable of holding and dispensing 14 “pills” (Standard Trebor Extra Strong Mints)
• Physical Constraints
  • Maximum footprint of the system = 400mm x 400mm 
  • Maximum wight = 10kg
• Budget constraints 
  • Total cost of mechanical components, manufactured or purchased, must not exceed £200 
  • Electronic components are excluded from budget limitations but are subject to procurement limitation

 

Produce a report detailing the product design specification, concept generation, concept selection and embodiment design, based on the given design brief and customer consultation.

• Indicative report structure should be at a minimum as follows:
  • Product Design Specification:
    • Performance requirements
    • Operation requirements
    • Manufacturing and assembly requirements
    • Disposal
    • Etc...
  • Concept Designs of potential solutions (minimum of 4 designs) 
    • Clear sketches
    • Well-annotated 
    • Brief description of operation 
    • Practicality 
  • Concept Selection
    • Criteria selection and ranking
    • Concept scoring
  • Embodiment Design 
    • Scheme drawing

 

• There is no word limit for this design report; however, you should aim to write as comprehensibly and concisely as possible, using figures/tables & data to present clear and objective design justifications.
• You must submit your Individual Design Report as a .pdf file via Canvas.

Formatting your submission:

• You do not need to include a cover sheet.
• Submission format is a design portfolio and should be treated as a formal report:
  • As such, subtitles/section headings are expected, as is a contents page, figure/table captions, abstract and list of tables/figures etc.
    References are not required,
