This document discusses potential difficulties in designing and assembling machines and Pokemon models out of LEGO blocks due to their circular shapes not fitting well with square blocks. It also discusses challenges in assembling a space battleship model including complexity, many special parts, creating opening and closing doors, and weight. The document recommends making instructions before assembly, understanding what each part is used for, and buying a product kit if unable to make it from scratch. It demonstrates using a 3D scanning app to scan a product and notes difficulties in taking pictures while moving around the product and setting up the model.

1. PRODUCT DESIGN

2. Machines and Pokemon

3. Possible problems associated with its
design and assembly
■ First, it is about Machines. Shape of LEGO blocks are square. But, This Machine is
complex. Shape of this machine is circle. It is difficult for us to make it by using
simple square LEGO blocks. I need good size and shape of LEGO blocks.
■ Next, about Pokemon. It has similar problem like Machines. Shape of Pokemon is
circle. It is difficult for us to make it by using simple square LEGO blocks. I need
many simple square LEGO blocks if I make it.
■ Finally, it is easy for us to imagine making products. In fact, making products is very
difficult.

4. Space battle ship

5. Explain why you think it is difficult to
assemble
■ It is difficult for me to make this product because it is complex. I should study
products.
■ It is difficult for me to make this product because it has many special parts. I need
to know what are parts.
■ This product has open and close door. I can’t make open and close door easily.
■ This product become very heavy if I use many LEGO blocks. You should not only
make merely form.
■ I don’t know how to make it. I need instruction.

6. Explain 3 strategies you will use in the
assembly process to overcome the possible
difficulty.
■ You should make instruction before making products. If you want to make LEGO
completely, you should read the instruction paper of LEGO. The instruction paper is
written about parts and how to make it.
■ It has many special parts. You should know in what it is used.
■ It is better to buy the product kits than to make it if you can’t make the product from
the beginning.

7. How to use the 3D Scanning app
I scanned the product while moving around it.

8. Demonstrate
The image I scanned.

9. Difficulties
■ It is difficult for me to take a picture while moving around the product.
■ I picked products up on a trash box and made height.
