Customer Specifications and Product Selection

• Goal: Build and design a new

children’s toy

• Demographic: 6-12 year old

children

• Adults must approve of the

buy, so the toy must also appeal to them

• Customer Specifications and Requests:
• For Child:
• Ease of Use
• Appealing (Bright colors)
• For Parent:
• Safe for child
• Easy to build and is durable
• Relatively cheap/affordable
• Would pay more if toy could last longer

Underwater Hoverboard, Pendulum Music Machine, Paper Airplane Launcher, Hydraulic Powered Rocket

• The final design was chosen due to it being our most original design and being the simplest in build

Conceptual Design

Why we chose this design:

• Simple design – meant to be easy to build

for target audience

• Ease of build and testing

Iterations:

• 3D Printing entire product (from rocket to

stand)

• Using a pool noodle to act as the rocket

with 3D printed rocket cone and wings, accompanied with a wooden stand

Actual Design

What Did We build?: Once put together, we have a functioning water-propelled rocket and launch stand. Why?: Simple assembly, not many complicated parts for messing up, ease of use for the customer, and EVERYONE LOVES ROCKETS! How?: We divided our project into different components and assembled the rocket in pieces before bringing it all together

1.

Rocket Body (Smart Water Bottle):By using the water bottle, the build for customers and

• urselves is much easier

2.

Rocket Cone and Wings (3D Printed Materials): Using ABS plastic adds to the durability

• f our design, and the build from a 3D printer is both cleaner and more precise

3.

Rocket Stabilizer (Wire): The wire ensures a straight launch of the rocket and limits danger to the surroundings

4.

Rocket Stand (Scrap Wood): Wood is easy to drill through and decreases the build time by comparison to a 3D print

5.

Means of Launch (Cork): By using a cork in the bottle neck, we are able to increase the pressure and launch the rocket

Feedback and Results

Results:

• During testing, we changed the levels of water in the rocket and varied our pumping

methods, but were ultimately able to launch the rocket in a successful fashion

• Some issues included stabilizing the rocket stand and determining when the rocket was ready

to launch

• Improper timing of testing also resulted in the wings falling off due to issues with the glue

(patience is key)

Customer Feedback:

• Customer indicated that final product met all expectations coming into the process
• Customer is really excited about the design and liked the additional water component

to the rocket

• No changes were requested by the customer
• The customer did suggest a more colorful design, but the water bottle design is up to the

consumer so no changes have been made

Cost and Time Estimates

Design and Build Time: ~10 hours Retail Price: $14.99 + Shipping and Handling

• Cost to build one prototype – buying materials in

bulk + man hours of design time + profit Item Cost Cost for 1000 Units Dowel $0.50 $500.00 Pump $4.00 $4,000.00 Cork $0.15 $150.00 Wire $0.25 $250.00 Bottle $0.50 $500.00 ABS Plastic $0.80 $800.00 Wood Stand $0.50 $500.00 Glue $0.30 $300.00 Total $7.00 $7,000.00
