Assignment:
‘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.’
The above is a typical context taken from a GCSE Short Course specification.
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 the launch of one of the following new ventures:
- an energy sports drink
- a product to be used on the set of the movie TRON Legacy.
- 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.
