Opportunity The company has an opportunity to improve brand loyalty. Using 3D printing
Statement technology, the company can quickly manufacture customized products based on
customer needs and deliver the products in a short time. It is proposed that we test
the process to design and manufacture personalized backpack charms (or luggage
tags) for individual customers. The proposed process includes:
1. Customer submits a description of the person for whom the charm will be
designed to include any characteristics they would like reflected in the charm
design.
2. A company designer generates three unique concepts for the charm design
(concept sketches).
3. The customer reviews and provides feedback on the designs.
4. The designer creates a final design proposal (multiview drawing).
5. The customer approves the design (signature required).
6. The final design is manufactured and delivered to the customer.

Design ● Our Design will be based off the likes and preferences of our individual
Statement consumer and be able to attach itself to a keychain or object using a
ball-chain method.

Criteria 1. The design must include either a hole to accept a ball chain or other
attachment system
2. The charm must allow easy attachment to a backpack (or luggage).
3. An edge distance of at least 0.25 inches must be maintained between the
edge of the charm and any hole or slot.
Constraints 1. {Manufacturing Process} The charm (or luggage tag) will be manufactured
using an additive manufacturing process (3D printing).
2. [Material] The charm (or luggage tag) will be manufactured from PLA.
3. {Material} Due to limitations in production, the maximum volume of material is
3 cubic inches.

4. [Time] A final design must be submitted for customer review by

3/19/21_______.
5. {Time} A 3D design file must be submitted by _3/19/21_______.
6. (Optional) A 3D printed model must be submitted by _3/19/21___________.
Deliverables ❑ Initial conceptual sketches – at least 3

❑ A rough isometric sketch of the selected design idea

❑ A multiview drawing detailing the final design

❑ (Optional) A 3D-printed product

❑ Documentation of total material volume and print time for prototype

●

Project Team Reflection:

As a team, reflect and answer the following prompts:
1. Reflect on your work and consider ways that the final product or process could be improved.
■ Does the final product align with your design statement?
●
■ Did you meet all of the criteria and constraints?
●
■ Was the customer satisfied with the final product?
●
■ Could resources (time or material) be used more efficiently at any step of the process?
●

2. Review the Modeling Overview resource. Describe each model you produced during the design
process. For each model, include the following:
■ Type of model
■ Purpose of the model
■ Limitations of the model
■ Justification for using this model in this circumstance
●

3. Review the list of goals you created at the beginning of the project. Did you achieve your goals?
Why or why not?
