Project Design

To combat the annoying experience of not being able to use


our magic mouse while charging it, a simple yet effective
product is just what we need.

A hand sketch of the desired product is as follows:

Production Planning
Phase A: 3d Printing the outer casing
1. Design the initial hand sketches of the product
2. Designing the 3d CAD model
3. Export the model as a .STL file
4. Import the .STL file into our slicing software
5. Edit the layers, toolpath, temperature, colour etc.
6. Send the code generated from the slicer off to the 3d
printer
Phase 2: Production of the metal balls
As 52100 Chrome Steel balls are THE most common,
available and cheapest of its kind; they are to be brought in
bulks from local sources

Costs:

1. Casings Production
 Roughly 3500 to 4000 GBP for the 3D printers
 4 to 7 thousand for a ton of raw Nylon PA 11

2. Balls Production
 Can be sourced for as less as 1.5 GBP per ball

3. Other expenditure
 Renting space at lowest of 1500 GBP
 The necessary software and applications
 Electricity bills
 Delivery
Mangement:
1. Designers: Tasks of the designs, from initials to finals.
2. IT: Coding the designs for the printers.
3. Marketing: Sell the product to the market and its consumers
4. Managers: Keeping all the other groups in check for executing the project
