Mass Manufacturing, 2019
2.008 - Design and Manufacturing II is an MIT course where students study and implement manufacturing methods. Each team designs a unique yoyo, produces tooling for injection molding and thermoforming, and operates the equipment in order to ‘mass produce’ 50 units within product specifications.
Our team created a yoyo with the appearance of two steamed bao trays, which could be opened to reveal dumplings inside. The yoyo models, thermoform dies, and injection molds were collaboratively designed by our team in Fusion360, and produced using SLA 3D printers and 3-axis CNC machines.
