    The document describes the design process undertaken by students at IIT Kanpur to create an Amla de-seeding machine. The students sought to address the inefficient and unhealthy manual de-seeding process used by workers. They went through stages of concept development, prototyping using cheap materials like wood and cardboard, and several iterations to arrive at a final design. The final design featured gravity-assisted guide ways instead of a hopper, and used a foot-based mechanism rather than hand drive for punching seeds out of the Amla fruit. The design process demonstrated that an initial solution may not end up as the final product.

    What is Design (Part-2)

    Dr. Janakarajan Ramkumar


    Professor
    Department of Mechanical & Design Programme
    IIT Kanpur, India.
    What is Design?
    The Design Process

    • For example – A team of students came together to


    design an Amla De-seeding machine at IIT Kanpur.

    • The problem was faced by workers who used to do de-


    seed Amla using hand tools. It was less productive and
    injurious to their health.

    • Then the students decided to design a dedicated Amla fruit with seed at it’s core
    machine for de-seeding in three stages i.e Feeding, De-
    seeding and Collection.
    What is Design?
    The Design Process

    • Proposed designs for Amla De-seeding

    Concept of hopper created using Prototyping using cheap materials


    Computer modelling. such as wood (Crank for De-seeding)
    What is Design?
    The Design Process

    • Proposed designs for Amla De-seeding

    Prototyping of punch created using card-board and plywood


    What is Design?
    The Design Process

    • Final design for Amla Deseeding


    What we have learnt

    • After many Iterations, final design of de-seeding


    machine.
    • Hopper is replaced by gravity assisted guide ways
    • Punching into Amla is performed by a foot based
    mechanism to reduce effort
    • Note that in earlier design, the punching mechanism
    is hand driven and feeding mechanism is hopper
    based.
    • In design thinking first solution may never end up
    to be a product.
    Thank You
