Opportunity The company has an opportunity to improve brand loyalty. Using 3D printing
Statement technology, the company can quickly manufacture customized products based on
customer needs and deliver the products in a short time. It is proposed that we test
the process to design and manufacture personalized backpack charms (or luggage
tags) for individual customers. The proposed process includes:
1. Customer submits a description of the person for whom the charm will be
designed to include any characteristics they would like reflected in the charm
design.
2. A company designer generates three unique concepts for the charm design
(concept sketches).
3. The customer reviews and provides feedback on the designs.
4. The designer creates a final design proposal (multiview drawing).
5. The customer approves the design (signature required).
6. The final design is manufactured and delivered to the customer.

Design ● Design, test, and present a backpack charm made out of PLA from a 3D
Statement printer that is customizable to the customer and easily attachable to a
backpack.

Criteria 1. The design must include either a hole to accept a ball chain or other
attachment system
2. The charm must allow easy attachment to a backpack (or luggage).
3. An edge distance of at least 0.25 inches must be maintained between the
edge of the charm and any hole or slot.
Constraints 1. {Manufacturing Process} The charm (or luggage tag) will be manufactured
using an additive manufacturing process (3D printing).
2. [Material] The charm (or luggage tag) will be manufactured from PLA.
3. {Material} Due to limitations in production, the maximum volume of material is
3 cubic inches.
4. [Time] A final design must be submitted for customer review by 3/19/21.

5. {Time} A 3D design file must be submitted by 3/19/21.

6. (Optional) A 3D printed model must be submitted by 3/19/21.
Deliverables ✓ Initial conceptual sketches – at least 3

✓ A rough isometric sketch of the selected design idea

✓ A multiview drawing detailing the final design

✓ (Optional) A 3D-printed product

✓ Documentation of total material volume and print time for prototype

● For our design, all the established criteria and constraints were met and all materials were
submitted by the deadline. The theme of our design is catered to our school mascot: the Mustang.
Therefore, our target clients are any students/staff at South Western. Additionally, we consider
our design to be fairly creative since we had to import an image and trace it to create the Mustang
logo.

● Our presentation follows each subtopic laid out in the rubric above. When
some information took up too much space, we created multiple slides for
the same topic to ensure that we covered it with enough detail.
Throughout the slideshow, we also included pictures and graphs when
appropriate to provide a visual for the information we were explaining.
