Production Technology

External iron parts are related to the seat: construct a 3D with reference to the existing iron parts specifications and dimensions, and first collect the proportions of the human body of the game group, construct a preliminary 3D and discuss with the structural boss to solve the problem of the expansion of the center of the circle, and then divide the detailed parts into pieces and the size-related revisions, and print out the 1:1 third view after finalizing, compare the actual age of the separate body parts, trim the proportion of the appearance, and finally make the finished product model.

Design Challenge

We mainly use three products as our design goal this time They are seesaw, twist invitation, and Yaoyao ship to design a set for sending Play equipment for the elderly and children to play together Seesaw for the elderly to squat exercise Change the movement path of the existing seesaw circular motion.
