Applications and implications

final project masterpiece

What will it do?

Well, it's a coffee machine with a bluetooth module so it synchronizes with a phone app in order to prepare coffee before ypu wake up in the morning, or before arriving for work, or whenever you want. The style behind will be vintage industrial coffee maker

Who's done what beforehand?

There are examples of coffee makers as final project from students of older academies, for example Daniel Kras- Fab Accademy 2017 or DIY coffee makers like this one or this one.
There are also commercial coffee makers similar the project that I'm trying to make. For example the

What will you design?

I will design the coffee maker(structure, internal components(except the spiral resistance), case)and an application for cell phone

- WHAT MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS WILL BE REQUIRED??

Where will they come from?

As you can see I can get most of the parts I need in the lab or local stores for electronic parts.

How much will they cost?

Between 60-65$. It is not the final cost, I still need to buy and find out the price of some parts.

What parts and systems will be made? / WHAT PROCESSES WILL BE USED?

This project has three main sections: 1. Coffee maker(Structure, case, components) / 2. Electronics / 3. Programing
1. COFFEE MAKER: CAD desig
1.1 Spiral Resistance container: Molding and casting
1.2 Water tank: Bending/Molding
1.3 Case: Computer-controlled machining / Bending
2. ELECTRONICS:
2.1 Microcontroller boards: Computer-controlled machining / Solding
3. PROGRAMING:
3.1 Interfacing electronics with software and applications

What questions need to be answered?

What alternative materials could I use to make the coffee maker combining digital and manual production?
How will the machine performance with high temperature and heat conductivity?

How will it be evaluated?

For the project to succeed it needs to show how the app communicates with the coffee maker.
