The drawing
shows a basic design for a plastic snack tray that will be used by
an airline on flights of between 2-3 hours duration.
The tray will hold a snack consisting of 3 parts: The main meal (a
sandwich or small cold meal or small hot meal), a cupcake and a cup of orange juice. The
drawing shows a tray with two compartments but it should have
three.
Design Brief
Design and
make a prototype plastic snack tray that
will hold a snack consisting of a main meal, a cupcake and an
orange drink.
Specification
The tray must be made from a sustainable plastic
material that can be washed
and re-used. It must be as light as possible, yet be rigid
enough to hold the snack without bending or twisting. One
compartment must be the correct size for a standard cupcake foil
or paper case. One compartment must be the correct size for
a standard sized plastic cup.
Industrial
Production Requirements
You should describe at least two plastic forming processes that
could be used to manufacture the snack tray in large
numbers.
Presentation
Requirements
You should show at least 5 tray designs using notes and sketches to
illustrate your ideas. You should make a coloured
presentation drawing of you preferred design, using isometric or
two point perspective drawing techniques. You should also
make a dimensioned orthographic drawing of the tray, the foil or
paper case and your chosen type of plastic cup.
Planning for
Making
You should describe the stages in manufacturing the snack tray.
