Making 3D
By: Kimseng
Introduction
In this project our task is to create a 3D object. We have to pick one object that can benefit the community in different ways. 3D can really affect people's lives. The way technology have developed throughout the year is unbelievable, the first computer ever created was in world war 2 and only 40 years we have develop to something that can print solid object. 3D printer is really useful even though it’s a bit expensive but once you have it, it can save you a lot of money because you can literally print everything we want. One of the problem that the world or the community is facing are that we’re running out of fresh water. In this cast me and my partner have decided to make parabola. It help to turn salt water into fresh water. This product can really help change the world and with advertisement can really help people to know more about parabola and start using it.
Research plan
Parabola
What is good about Parabola is that it helps to give more energy to the focus point. If sun, it make the energy bounce of it to the focus point of the product.
What does it looks like?
This is how a parabola looks like in real life. You put something in the middle to get the focus point. The bad thing about this is that you would have to calculate it every good and in order to do that you need to really understand the formula of it.
Parabola formula
This is the parabola formula. To be honest i think it's a bit confusing and i think with this formula some people are not able to understand this.
Example
Parabolic
This is a similar design that we're going make for our own parabolic. It help to create a focus point from the sun.
Cup holder
This is just an example of what we are using to hold up a cup full of salt water. It helps to hold up the cup so that it can find the focus point on the parabolic
Example 3
Analysis
The effect that this product can make is saving people life all around the world who didn't have access to fresh clean water. It can change the world, by having more access to water as much and makes water cheaper so that everyone can afford it. There are no one have actually create the product before.
Criterion B
Design Specification
- Its have to be curve like a parabola
- It most be white colored
- it must have 5 component in one product
- it must be well calculated
- the length of the parabola will be 9.5cm with a height length of 5cm
- The jar area should not block more than 30% of the parabola focus
- it should look organized and unique
- it should have creative and stylist design for the holder of the jar
Final design
I have chosen design 3 as an idea to make the final product because it follow all of my design specification and it is label clearly on how big is in going to be.
Process
Final product
Criterion D
Evaluation
- Its have to be curve like a parabola - YES
- It most be white colored - YES
- it must have 5 component in one product - YES
- it must be well calculated - YES
- the length of the parabola will be 9.5cm with a height length of 5cm - YES
- The jar area should not block more than 30% of the parabola focus - YES
- it should look organized and unique - YES
- it should have creative and stylist design for the holder of the jar - YES
Testing the product
I can't really get a change to test my final product because the product was a bit too small and i have ask some family member and friends about what they think of our final product
Survey
Sengly: You have followed all the design specification, i really like the way it curve
Sister: Good product and very useful
Mom: It can really help a lot of people and i really like to design
Sister: Good product and very useful
Mom: It can really help a lot of people and i really like to design
Improvement
- Make the parabolic a bit thicker
- Add some color
- Make the product a little bit bigger
- Tell prize on brochure
These improvement could really help the next time by so that it will not be boring and more sustainability and people would know exactly what is the prize.
