Design & Make - Tape Dispenser

MYP3 Design Orientation Skill Building Challenge

A culture of emphasis on workplace safety and well-developed technical skills allows for student agency in design projects.

[1] A3 & B1| Design Brief: Inspiration Board & Design Specification

Develop an inspiration board presenting at least 20 different tape dispensers.
Develop a design specification outlining 5-10 functional success criteria. Look for commonalities and contrasts in the products on your inspiration board. Success criteria can relate to functionality as well as construction and finishing qualities. Use the following sentence frame:
- A tape dispenser is a success if ... because ...

Develop a hand-drawn morphological ideation matrix with design ideas for 5 important design specifications for a tape dispenser. Opportunity to teach ‘sketch - colour - trace’ method to construct an ideation drawing that can be understood by others.

Pass the safety quizzes related to general workshop safety and the use of modelling tools for foam core modelling
The quizzes are available on Toddle.

Present a hand-drawn isometric projection of the chosen design at a 1:1 scale. That is: 1 unit in your drawing corresponds to 1 unit in real life. E.g. 40mm in your drawing would be 40mm in real life.
Label the projection with design specifications and the main dimensions.
Use correct line weights.
Use triple shading - Top once, front twice, left thrice
Evaluate how well each specification is met in the design using a four-star rating scale to assess

Create a foam-core board model of the chosen design.
Glue the model to an A3 sheet of engineering paper and label it model with your design specifications and the main dimensions.
Evaluate how well each specification is met in the design using a four-star rating scale to assess.

Tips

Introduction to Isometric to Orthographic Projections

Tips

Make one or more sketches of your drawing on scrap paper first.
Draw your final drawing thinly in pencil first. Then add colour. Trace it with a pen last.

Create a hand-drawn planning drawing with all 6 orthographic projections of the tape dispenser on a 1:2 scale. That is: 1 unit in your drawing corresponds to 2 units in real life. E.g. 40mm in your drawing would be 80mm in real life.
Accurately and logically align all views.
Fully dimension the projections without unnecessary duplication.

Create a CAD planning drawing (Onshape) with the four most meaningful orthographic projections of the tape dispenser.
Fully dimension the projections without unnecessary duplication.

Create a Hand-drawn or CAD planning drawing (Onshape) with an exploded isometric of the tape dispenser.
Fully dimension the projections without unnecessary duplication.

Develop a Gantt chart for the creation of your tape dispenser using the following project phases: Marking out, Cutting, Assembling, and Finishing. Subdivide these phases into steps and estimate the time it takes to complete each step.

Pass the safety quizzes related to the power tools accessible to you in the workshop (bandsaw, pillar drill, belt sander).
The quizzes are available on Toddle.

Create your plywood tape dispenser. Stations for the different steps will be set up for efficient work.

Present scans or screenshots of drawings (isometric and orthographic).
Present a photograph of you creating your product
Present a photograph of your product in use on your desk at home.
Explain 3 differences between your final product and your planning drawing (B4)
Explain 3 differences between your actual making process and your planning Gantt Chart (C1).
