Design Brief

MP3 players are very popular and are ideally suited for individual listening. Sometimes however it is useful to amplify sound so that the device can be listened to without the restriction of headphones or a small group of people can listen to it together.

Your task is to design and manufacture a prototype product in response to this context that incorporates the given amplifier circuit. CAD/CAM is to be used extensively in the development of your prototype. This will be a corporate 'freebie' used to promote one of the following new ventures: an energy sports drink, the movie launch of Tron Legacy - a sequel to Tron made in 1982, a high speed commuter rail network, a web based information service for the 2012 Olympics.

Pro/ENGINEER and Corel Draw should be used to refine and develop the product’s shape, form and function. The prototype product should be manufactured using CAM equipment (eg. laser cutter, Fused Deposition Modeller, CNC router, sublimation printer etc') as the principal means of production.


I chose to base my idea on Tron Legacy because, as a child growing up in the 80's, I watched and loved the original film which I saw when I was 9.
