Brush up my idea


Purpose of my final project

Purpose and Function

The purpose of my final project is enlightment activity of beach cleanning. I would like to hold a workshop with the machine that will be developed in fabacademy's final project. (link to first idea)

Automatic vs Manual

  • Automatic gives paticipants an impact, but they will just look at it.
  • Manual gives people the feeling of participating the activity, but if work is hard, it leads to discontinuation of activities.

So, Automatic and Manual is trade-off relation. I have to balance this two aspect.

Design Concept

From the above view point, I think the machine that I will develop should have the characteristic as follows.
  1. Machine that there is room for participants to work on.
  2. Machine that converts garbage(plastic bottole) to other forms.
  3. Machine that has the aspect of Automatic and Manual.

Design

So, I designed Modulable Machine as week03 assignment.
Once we shatter the prastic bottle to pellet, it can be formed to something by melting. Following figures are Extruder Module.

■Extruder Module
  • Autmatic(A): It is used motor.
  • Manual(M): It is used handle.
■Zaxis Module
Zaxis Module has mortor
  • Autmatic(A) or Fix(F)
■Extruder + Zaxis
  • Autmatic + Fix (solo work)
  • Manual + Fix (cooporate work)
In this form, participants can create something like this.
In the case of AF[Autmatic + Fix], participants create alone. On the other hand, the case of MF[Manual + Fix], participants should cooporate! Maybe, MF cooparate work would be very fun!


■XYaxis Module
XYaxis Module has mortor
  • Autmatic(A)


■Extruder + Zaxis + XYaxis
  • AFA (automatic)
  • MFA (solo work)

Acheaving target

Perhaps, I can't develop all modules... So, my acheaving target is developing one or two modules !
