Train Project
For this project I was assigned to follow a design brief and create a cargo train cart that was compatible with a toy train. I was also assigned a partner to work with me. We started the project out by reviewing the design brief and brainstorming ideas. While my partner began brainstorming ideas. I made a few drawings that would be required in our final design. The pieces were a magnet and hitch needed to connect our cart with the already created toy train. The designs can be seen below.
While creating these two designs was a basic task, it was an essential part of the assembly process and my Inventor skills improved slightly as well. After I had completed my two parts I was given all the parts and then tasked with assembling the final project seen below.
While my role in the design process was small, I helped create an essential part of the final design. Overall the design came out successful and met all design criteria stated in the design brief. I gained practice on my Inventor skill and my team skills.
