Concepts investigated:
To build my product, I had to research other similar ideas for dry erase markers. I had to research DIY ideas that were similar to the product itself but found it inefficient as there was no good chance it would work. After reviewing my designs, I came across issues that defeated the purpose of a resolution, so I changed the focus onto becoming more eco-friendly. I determined that the changes were necessary for the final design to be as effective as possible while still solving my problem. To complete this, I have to find a way to add ink cartridges to the marker and find a way to create a trigger function for the cartridge to be disposed into the ink itself.
prototype:
Description:
1.) Research designs and efficiency.
2.) Research materials based on what I need for the design.
3.) Find the prices for the materials needed for my design.
4.) Create a final design with proper dimensions and indications.
5.) Obtain the materials needed to start building.
6.) Test the prototype of the design and gather data on changes needed.
7.) Build the complete design.
8.) Test full design on effectiveness and how long they can last.
9.) Make last needed changes to prototype.
