Reverse Engineering: Mechanical Product - Visual Analysis

  • Using a camera phone, digital camera or your laptop's webcam, take pictures of your product that correspond to a multi-view drawing (top, front, side).





  • Post these images to your blog. Identify your product and title each object view.
        For my mechanical product, I choose a stapler.

        Front View of the stapler.
        Side View of the stapler.

    • Visual Analysis
      • Describe the visible design elements and principles in relation to the three images of the product. 
      • In thus product, I can identify several visible design elements. The stapler shows color, shape, balance
    • Functional Analysis
      • What is the purpose of the product and how does the mechanical nature of the item support that? 
      • This product is used to put papers togrther,or seal papers.
