Engineering Documentation Automoblox® Project

Project file here.

Engineers from a novelty toy company working to design accessories or enhancements to the existing Automoblox® vehicles. In this project I detail the Automoblox® vehicle with technical drawings to provide detailed information necessary to design accessories and enhancements that will properly connect with the toy. In addition, I begin the process of assembling a portfolio to present my reverse-engineering efforts and technical documentation of the product.

Detailed documentation is one of the most important aspects of product design due to its necessity in being able to replicate the object. Without proper documentation, after the first prototype nobody would be able to recreate the object. This means the object would not be able to be produced on an assembly line.

Engineering documentation in reverse engineering ensures that each step in the disassembly process is marked down to ensure accuracy. This enables the engineer to put the original object back together (if destructive techniques are not utilized), or even perhaps use the knowledge gained through documentation to improve upon the product/create their own totally new design.
