Project 6.5 Product Reverse Engineering Presentation
Introduction
Displaying your work is an important aspect in many different fields of engineering. How you arrive at your ideas, solutions, and conclusions must be communicated. Making presentations of your work is a method used by many engineering firms to determine if the team has worked together successfully and if all team members have shared in the work.
In this project you will complete several pre-activities that will enable you to collect the information needed in order to make your display. It is imperative that you keep good notes and refer to your team to make sure everyone has the same information. Team members who are consistent in their understanding and who communicate with each other are necessary for success.
You and your team will be expected to make a poster presentation of your findings. You will create either a physical tri-fold poster or an electronic poster to display your product and the information that you have gathered.

Product Disassembly Chart Statistics
Axle
Dimensions (LxWxH):0.7508 in. x 0.0390 in. Material: Steel Density: 7.85g/cm^3 Mass: .07g Texture and Finish: Smooth and Polished Interaction with other parts: Holds the feet of the toy and the gear box together and allows for the feet of the toy to "jitter." Feet
Dimensions (LxWxH):1.2051 in. x 1.5028 in. x 0.6409 in. Material: High Density Polyethylene Plastic Density: .94g/cm^3 Mass: .193g Texture and Finish: Smooth and Polished Interaction with other parts: Allows for the toy to "jitter" once wound up. Gear Box
Dimensions (LxWxH):1.0098 in. x 1.3328 in. x 1.2627 in. Material: High Density Polyethylene Plastic Density: .94g/cm^3 Mass: 3.1g Texture and Finish: Rough and Glossy Interaction with other parts: Allows the toy to "jitter;" the gear box is held within the bottom mouth of the toy. Screw
Dimensions (LxWxH):0.2541 in. x 0.1399 in. Material: Aluminum Density: 2.7g/cm^3 Mass: 0.2g Texture and Finish: Rough and Shiny Interaction with other parts: Firmly secures the tongue of the toy to the bottom of the mouth and firmly holds the gear box inside of the mouth. Bottom Mouth
Dimensions (LxWxH):1.5559 in. x 1.3191 in. x 0.5088 in. Material: High Density Polyethylene Plastic Density: .94g/cm^3 Mass: 3.4g Texture and Finish: Smooth and Polished Interaction with other parts: Holds the gear box of the toy and has pegs on the sides to allow for the top portion of the toy's mouth to be securely snapped. Tongue
Dimensions (LxWxH):1.1691 in. x 0.9530 in. x 0.3676 in. Material: High Density Polyethylene Plastic Density: .94g/cm^3 Mass: 1.2g Texture and Finish: Smooth and Polished Interaction with other parts: Holds the gear box of the toy and allows for the screw to securely hold the tongue and keep the gear box from falling out of place. Top Mouth
Dimensions (LxWxH):1.6129 in. x 0.9530 in. x 0.3676 in. Material: High Density Polyethylene Plastic Density: .94g/cm^3 Mass: 3.5g Texture and Finish: Smooth and Polished Interaction with other parts: Purely just for aesthetics; snaps to the bottom portion of the mouth and hides the tongue. Also creates the clacking noise when the toy is wound up and released. |
Conclusion
1. Is there another reason for product disassembly besides the modeling and electronic documentation of parts? Product disassembly allows for companies and manufacturers to create upgrades for their toys/inventions and interchangable parts allow for upgrades to base parts.
2. Explain the process used to complete a mass property analysis, and explain why this process is commonly used in industry. You need to know an object's volume, material, and weight, then your property analysis is done.
3. Describe how important it is to have good interpersonal communication skills in a technically related field, such as engineering and design. Interpersonal communication skills are important in an engineering and/or design field for the purpose of being able to communicate effectively and cooperate effectively.
