USB Pen Design
Design BriefYou are being asked to design a USB Pen
Drive
Specification
• Your USB Pen must be fully functional.
• You must design & make an enclosure for the USB Processor to fit into.
• You must make a prototype model of your design prior to computer modelling and manufacture
• You must model the design in Inventor to allow the drawing file to be transferred to the laser machine.
• You must base all your ideas on a theme.
What is the theme?
The theme will decided through using an idea generation
technique called morphological analysis.
What is a Research Sheet ?
A research sheet is used to gather visual information on your area of design & the theme. It can include drawings & printed images that will:
1. Help you understand what you are designing (USB Pen Drive).
2. Provide imagery that will be used in your ideas (based on a theme).
Research
During the research phase of this unit, we will be looking at main areas
USB Pen DesignSketching & Rendering
AcrylicMorphological Analysis
Outcome D1.6Incorporating relevant findings of research in a design proposal
Research Task 1:-The USB Pen Drive
.
It can be beneficial to look at existing products to see what designs are already out there.
Task: • Using the internet research existing USB pens –
don’t just stick to novelty designs as you may want a more ‘professional’ design.
• Collect 5 or 6 designs and write a little bit about each – what you like about the design, what you think it is made from, who you think would use it
Learn: • To use the internet as a research tool.• To start to consider important design factors that
influence a design
Existing Pen drives
Research Task 2: colour pencil rendering
Make a feint line drawing of an item from one of the image sheets.
Task: • Using colour pencil, carefully
render your sketch using the techniques shown to you.
Learn: • To improve sketching and
rendering skills• To improve your handling of
colour pencil (Colour,Tone and Texture)
Research Task 3: Marker Pen Rendering
Make a feint pencil sketch of an item from one of the image-sheets.
Task: • Using marker pens
render the sketch.
Learn: • To improve sketching and
rendering skills• To improve your handling of
marker pens (Blending Tones & Highlighting)
Research Task 4:- Study of Material - Acrylic
You will use Acrylic to make your
USB Pen casing
Task: • Collect researchInformation about the Material AcrylicLearn about: • What is Acrylic?• In what form can you buy it?• What adhesive is used to join it?• You may find other information
during you research!
Outcome M1.5Using correct names and terminology when referring to materials and their properties
The Processor that is to be used in the production of your USB pen will determine the overall size of the casing
Task: • Collect research
information about the USB Processor
Learn: • How does the USB processor
work• What is the size of the USB
processor(lxbxw) & (memory)?
Research Task 5:- USB Processor
Preparing a Research Sheet
A research sheet should look; exciting, well- organised, personal, relevant & clean.

Preparing a Research Sheet
Sort out all your collected images & drawings.
Task:Trim images using scissors or guillotine. Think carefully about the size & shape of these images, they have to look good!
Learn: • To cut out neatly & accurately.
• To make good aesthetic decisions.
Research Sheet - Lay OutTask:
Begin to carefully arrange the images on your sheet. e.g. your renderings could be placed together in a group.
Learn:• About lay-out &
composition.• To make good
aesthetic decisions.

Finishing a Research Sheet
Task: Using Blue-tac, lightly stick down all your images. This sounds simple, but you have to stick them in the right place & without any mess!
Learn:
• To organise & arrange images properly.
• To stick down images cleanly & securely.
Development Tasks
During the research phase of this unit, we will be looking at main areas

Choosing the Final DesignModelling the Final Design
Development Task 1 – Morphological Analysis
Task: Create your own Morphological
analysis table Learn:
• About using the morphological analysis to help create different design ideas.
Outcome D1.5 Selecting and using idea generation techniques to generate a design proposal.

Task:- •Draw a table with the four headings shown. Add in the additional information suggested colours and themes. You can add more of your own of you wish.
Using the grid create 6 different combinations. They must all be different
EgFemale – 12 to 16 – Yellow – SeasideFemale – 17 to 21 – Black – SportMale – 22-30 – Green – HobbyMale – 30-40 – Blue – VehicleFemale – 12 to 16 – Pink – AnimalMale – 12 to 16 – Blue - Space
Learn:•How to combine areas of focus to help develop different ideas in the design process.
Development Task 2 – Developing Morphological combinations
Task: • Look at each combination created in the
morphological analysis exercise. Research possible theme images using the internet – collect images that may be used to develop your ideas – remember to consider the other headings (ie age the design is for)
Learn:• How to consider the factors that influence
each combinations.• How to research images using the internet
Development Task 3 – Simplyfying Images
Task: • Using each of the images within the
combinations, simplify them to make them easier to create in Inventor. You need to consider the outline cut and the engraved surface finish.
Learn:• Sketching techniques• Consideration of manufacturing process on
the design
Simplifying Images
Development Task 3 – Initial Design Ideas

Outcome M4.1Evaluating the success of the manufacturing plan and outlining suggestions for improvement in terms of practicalities and efficiency
Developing Ideas
Development Task 6:-Choosing your Final Design
Your 3 developed ideas are now complete. How do you decide which design you are going to manufacture?
Task: On the next sheet you need to Discuss the positive and negative
points to each design. The best way to do this is to go back to the specification at the beginning of the project. Tick off each specification. The one that fulfils the most is the design you will make
