Need of the Product
Some people might have difficulty tilting their head back or have mobility issues to
drink directly from the bottle.

Another possible reason is that some people may have trouble drinking from a cup,
glass, or bottle due to dental or orthodontic issues, such as braces or sensitivity to cold
or hot temperatures.

Chances of spilling the liquid are more if drinking directly from the bottle.

Requirement of the product

Capacity: Capacity of the bottle is important. It depends on the customers on how much
liquid they want to carry with them.

Shape and Size: Shape and size must be desirable. The bottle should be easy to store.
For example in the side slot of college.

Weight: It should be light weight.It should not have unnecessary things which will
increase its weight as the weight of liquid is also there.

House of Quality
The House of Quality (HOQ) is defined as a product planning matrix that is built to
show how customer requirements relate directly to the ways and methods companies can
use to achieve those requirements. House of Quality diagrams use a design that
resembles the outline of a house and can be created using technical and competitive
benchmarking data. HOQ is considered the primary tool used during quality function
deployment to help facilitate group decision making.

From House of Quality we can tell that the most important rating is given to shape and
size of the bottle as capacity, cost and Ease of use depends on it

The least important rating is given to weight of the bottle as the weight is less generally.
Advantages of the Developed Model
By having a straw, it eliminates the problem of people with mobility issues.

Drinking through a straw can help to bypass any dental or orthodontics issues

Additionally, for some people, drinking through a straw may be a psychological habit
that gives them a sense of control over their beverage consumption or makes them feel
more comfortable drinking from a container.

The straw is replaceable

DFMA Analysis
DFMA stands for Design for Manufacture and Assembly, and it is a set of principles that
aim to simplify the manufacturing and assembly process of a product. Here are some
DFMA principles that can be applied to the manufacturing of a bottle:

Design for ease of assembly: The design of the bottle should allow for easy and efficient
assembly, minimizing the number of parts and the complexity of the assembly process.

Minimize the number of parts: Fewer parts mean fewer opportunities for error, lower
cost, and less time spent on assembly. The design of the bottle should be simplified as
much as possible without sacrificing functionality.

Design for standardization: Standardized parts can reduce manufacturing costs and
improve the overall quality of the product. Where possible, the design of the Sucker
bottle should use standard parts that are readily available in the market.

Design for ease of manufacture: The design of the bottle should take into consideration
the manufacturing process, including the materials used, the production methods, and the
machinery required.

By applying these DFMA principles, the manufacturing of bottles can be streamlined,

resulting in a product that is cost-effective, high-quality, and easy to assemble.

Manufacturing Process: Fused Deposition Modeling should be used for

manufacturing it as there will be less waste of materials

Complexity: The Bottle is divided into four parts to reduce its complexity.

Assembly: The parts are easy to assemble. The cap can be fitted just by twisting
cup has to be simply put on top

Simplicity: A slot is made in the opening for holding straw and the slot is divided
in half as it can be directly used for drinking from bottle or from straw
3D Printing
Preprocessing

Material: Polylactic acid (PLA) is the best material to utilize in 3D printing on a small
scale. It is cost-effective since it is made from renewable resources. Polylactic acid, one
of the most environmentally friendly 3D printer materials, is derived from natural
sources such as sugarcane and corn starch and is thus biodegradable.

Nozzle Size: 3D printing nozzles are available in four different sizes. The first is the
0.25mm nozzle, which is ideal for printing fine objects, the second is the 0.4mm nozzle,
which is the most commonly used nozzle worldwide, the third is the 0.60mm nozzle,
which is ideal for any type of print that does not rely on any tiny or small details, and
finally, the 1mm nozzle, which is ideal for printing faster and larger objects. Due to
scheduling constraints, we adopted a 1mm nozzle in our product.

Density of the material: Infill density is a percentage variable that defines how much
plastic is used to fill the model that you print. When the infill density value increases, the
model becomes heavier and stronger due to the increased amount of plastic in it. PLA
has a typical numeric density of roughly 1.24 g/cc. PLA which we used had an infill
density of 35% - 40% while 3D printing.

Time taken for 3D printing: The original time displayed on the programme for 3D
printing was around 4 hours.

Postprocessing

Depending on the 3D printing material used and the complexity of the model, there may
be excess material or imperfections that need to be cleaned up. This could include
removing any stringing, sanding or filing rough edges of the model to achieve a desired
finish. After completing the print, it is important to perform routine maintenance on the
printer to ensure that it remains in good working condition. This could include cleaning
the print bed, checking and replacing the printer nozzle, or calibrating the printer to
ensure that future prints are successful.
