PROJECT 1

Project Statement:

The objective of this project was to perform a conceptual analysis of various prototypes. Students were required to find common mechanical movement analogies and integrate it into the selected prototypes. The idea behind this project was to find out how the function of the mechanical component would transform the shape of the prototype to create a 30x40 opening.
