  1. Can Crusher Nate Kunzer, CharveeMakwana, KevalAmin, Grant Wetherton

  2. Agenda CAD Drawings Bill of Materials Build Process Test Plan Prototype Lessons Learned Summary • Team Roles • Team Constitution • Timeline • 10 steps of 12-step Design Process • Background/Justification • Customer • Scope • Deliverables

  3. Team Roles • Leader- Nate Kunzer • Scribe- Keval Amin • Scribe- Charvee Makwana • Timekeeper- Grant Wetherton

  4. Team Constitution • Respect each other • Avoid blaming others for any failures • NO idea will be ridiculed • NO ONE member will dominate over others • Respect each others opinions

  5. Timeline

  6. Problem Statement • Work for Alpha Engineering Company • Disposal needs to be reduced by 70% • Failure to do so results in $.05 penalty per can • Device that crushes cans to as little as 30% of their original size

  7. Background/Justification • Have to reduce 70% of can disposal • For every can not crushed; $0.05 penalty

  8. Customers • Alpha Engineering Company • Mr.Pritchard- ITC Teacher

  9. Scope Resources • Ms. Hernacki- dimensions, calculations • Mr. Hund- CAD • Mr. Pritchard- Building, dimensioning Materials • Aspen wood • Ply wood • Nails • Wood Glue

  10. Scope (cont) • Customer Constraints • 18”x24”x30”. • one simple machine. • can must fall into bin • No human intervention • can bin must slide in and out. • Must be manually operated.

  11. Deliverables • Technical Report • PowerPoint Presentation • Final Can Crusher • CAD Drawings

  12. Brainstorming • History of Can Crushers • Self-Loading system • Purpose of a can crusher • Relation to real world • Amount of cans crushed at once • Size of hole where cans fall, once crushed

  13. Research & Generate Ideas We can use the following simple machines… • Lever • Axle • Pulley Consider the following when building… • Dimensions of an aluminum can • What kind of wood will be the most stable

  14. Identify Criteria & Specify Constraints • At most must be 18” by 30” by 24” • Needs one simple Machine • Bin must hold 20 crushed cans • Must be manually operated • All parts must be fabricated • Cans must fall into the bin once crushed

  15. Explore Possibilities

  16. Nate’s Design (Solution 1)

  17. Charvee’s Design (Solution 2)

  18. Keval’s Design (Solution 3)

  19. Grant’s Design (Solution 4)

  20. Hybrid Sketch

  21. Select an Approach Scale 1(worst)-5(best) Scale: 1(worst)-5 (best)

  22. Type of Binding Scale: 1(worst)-5(best)

  23. Size of Wood Scale: 1(worst)-5(best)

  24. Type of Wood Scale: 1(worst)-5(best)

  25. Develop a Design Proposal CAD DRAWINGS

  26. Assembly

  27. Bin

  28. Loading System

  29. Connector

  30. Lever

  31. Crusher Body

  32. Bill of Materials Total =

  33. Build Process • Can Bin • Crusher Body • Stopper • Connector • Lever • Crusher • Crusher Loader • Final Assembly

  34. Test Plan

  35. Prototype • Could not always follow build process • Helpful and gave ideas in building • Some parts did not fit together

  36. Test & Monitor

  37. Refine • Bought wood that was stable • Re-made handle so that it was longer • Re-made entire can crusher • Re-made hole in handle

  38. Lessons Learned • Adjust to a work group and different people • Manage our time and use it wisely • Don't procrastinate • Problem solve

  39. Summary • Communication skills • Built can crusher from scratch • Problem solved
