For this project, we were tasked with designing a speaker enclosure and ensuring that it was manufacturable. As a team, we conducted market research and sketched ideas. Afterward, we created foam models before selecting the most visually appealing design that fit our requirements. Once we chose an idea, a teammate modeled the design at scale in SolidWorks and submitted the files to me for further analysis.
My role was to find stock parts that fit within the enclosure and develop the mounting system so that the speakers, circuit board, and batteries had space. I began by researching other enclosure setups, then looked for parts that could fit within the model.
I analyzed various orientations with hand sketches. Afterward, I submitted the final setup to my teammate. He updated the assembly with the chosen parts and mounts.
Once the assembly was updated, I analyzed the parts for manufacturing and assembly. I did this via sketch overlays to pinpoint how the individual pieces of the speaker would connect. After the team agreed upon the manufacturing and assembly mechanisms, I rendered the updated model in Keyshot.
