Based on
a variety of
factors, all
of the group members
judged the top three
products. The result
was unanimous, and
the cookie press won.

To do this, we did a
visual analysis of the

Visual Analysis
For visual analysis, we
looked for how the
elements and principles
of design were used on
the product.

The press is
relatively
symmetrical
along this

When trying to
figure out
exactly how the
mechanism of the
cookie press
worked, we
realized we
needed to take
some of the back
apart further
than was possible
conventionally
for washing. We
ended up with
these main parts.

Design Brief
Problem: dough doesnt stick to sheet when
extruded through the cookie press
Criteria:
-must make dough more able to stick to the
cookie sheet
-must maintain the simple look
Constraints:
-cannot add too many more parts, because
that raises the manufacturing cost
-cannot be hard to operate
Solution
There were many possible ways to solve this
problem. We had a group discussion to decide the
best way to solve this problem
An idea that came up was to add some sort of
sweeper arm to the bottom ring area of the press
to cut the dough so it would have no choice but to
stick to the sheet. This was a great idea, but we
could ultimately not come up with a mechanism and
way of triggering the sweeper arm, so the idea was
discarded in favor of something simpler.
The way we decide to fix the problem was that on
the rachet, we made the notches longer. That way
the cookie press would press out more dough.
