The sheet metal case for the kitchen scale pushed me to consider many aspects of product design simultaneously, as well as figuring out what needed to be communicated to the boss or client in the memo. I led the design, and after brainstorming, my team and I decided the most important aspects for this product would be ease of cleaning, ease of storing when not in use, ease of use, ease of assembly, and keeping the pricing as low as possible. I took these elements and created a 3D cad model in SolidWorks. We decided to create a design that would have two parts stamped out of a single sheet and bent into the casing displayed in Figure 1. I have learned that if schematics or virtual models are used in a presentation or report, as in Figures 1 and 4, the important elements can shine through and time is saved in removing backgrounds and distractions from actual photographs. My group members Liz Foesch, Austin Strozier, and Michael Gassen, calculated the majority of the other data about the cost of production, and I helped them research and find hardware that would satisfy the needs of the budget and the ease of use. The consideration of what needs to be communicated as well as simplicity in figures, will help me in my career to explain what I am doing to others more clearly.
