PART F: CONSIDERATION OF DESIGN VIABILITY
Product Viability:
Product Lifestyle Flowchart and Matrix:
Summary:
We spoke with Mr.Stevens and started to investigate how we will produce our product, Sam introduced the idea of Jesel Valvetrain Innovations to make our product. We are thinking of using scrap metal and silicone for our materials. We are also looking for ways to make our product non-stick. A lot of non-stick materials are toxic and we need it to be food safe. We thought about the life-cycle of our product and how it will affect the environment. Our scoop does not have a lot of hazardous material outputs, and we are trying to be as environmentally friendly as possible while keeping our cost low. We will have to test our product/materials to see how effective they are. For example, if the dough sticks to the scoop, we will have to come up with a new material. This step made us consider the viability of our design.
