PRODUCT DESIGN
Rationale
This was the introductory lesson we had as a class to autodesk fusion 360. I was very confused at the start on how to use he software because there were so many functions and it looked so complex and complicated that i was so stressed out and was not sure on how to start. After watching a few tutorial videos and doing research, I slowly understood how to use autodesk fusion 360 and then our first task that we had to do was to create a cup holder for a plastic cup that we commonly see being used in kopitiams as takeaway cups. Firstly, we had to the design the plastic cup and then we had to design the cup holder. I had to make sure that my design was ergonomic and functional. That is why the cup holder has no sharp edges. This is to prevent the user from hurting their hands and making sure that their hands do not get uncomfortable while holding the cup holder. The handle is also long enough for an average human hand to grasp. The texture on the handle is different from the ring that surrounds the cup. The texture on the handle has grooves and ridges so as to ensure that the user has enough grip and they can comfortable hold the cup holder without it slipping from their hand. After the design process was done, we had to render it and I felt that the rendering of the product came out quite nicely and I am quite satisfied with the product
