This portfolio document outlines Kayla Barbour's work in the TAD 330 course. It includes sections on designing with Fusion 360 software, individual projects on gear mechanisms and designing a piece of knockdown furniture, and prototypes and final products created. The gearing mechanisms project involved sketching designs, creating prototypes, and building a thread spooler. The furniture design project included sketching iterations, making prototypes, and constructing a finished "BookNook" library chair. Overall, the course exposed students to design software, new technologies, design thinking skills, and career applications in sustainable design.

Kayla Barbour

2. Portfolio Content
❏ Designing with Fusion
❏ Gearing Up
❏ Ready to Assemble
❏ Course Outcomes

3. Designing with Fusion
❏ Introduced to AutoCAD Fusion360
software and applications
❏ Sketched a variety of objects into
Fusion and created 3D printed
prototypes and products
❏ Worked individually and with partners
to sketch designs and ideate

4. Gearing Up - Overview
❏ Engineered Mechanical Movement #123
❏ Used Fusion to sketch multiple designs
❏ Created a variety of prototypes & iterations
❏ Built a useful product, incorporating chosen
movement & the 3D laser cutter

5. Gearing Up - Prototypes
❏ Cardboard - Hand cut
❏ Cardboard - Laser cut
❏ Wood - Laser cut
❏ Acrylic - Laser cut

6. Gearing Up - Iterations
❏ Mechanical Movement #123
→ Engineered to have a 1:3 Mechanical Advantage
❏ Three Designs, each featuring:
→ varying number of teeth
→ different dimensions
→ unique angle/design of gear teeth

7. Gearing Up - 3D Modeling
❏ Created a moving model based on the
Mechanical Movement #123
❏ Considered a variety of sizes, shapes, angles
❏ Exported files for use in MasterCam
& the 3D laser cutter

8. Gearing Up - Finished Product
❏ Created a thread & yarn spooler, utilizing
Mechanical Movement #123 to redirect
circular movement from a crank into
rectilinear motion
❏ Processed Materials include:
cedar acrylic
gears dowels

9. Ready to Assemble - Overview
❏ Engineered a piece of knockdown/flatpack furniture
❏ Designed various iterations using Fusion
❏ Created multiple prototypes
❏ Analyzed Packaging & Materials
❏ Built & constructed “the BookNook”

10. Ready to Assemble - Prototypes

11. Ready to Assemble - 3D Modeling
❏ Designed & Sketched a functioning piece of furniture based
on standard dimensions
❏ Considered a variety of: -
-materials
-joinery
-assembly methods - - -
-hidden compartments -ergonomic
-features
❏ Exported files for use in
MasterCam & the CNC Router

12. Ready to Assemble - Finished Product
❏ Created “the BookNook”, a
functioning library chair
that offers seating & storage
❏ Processed Materials include:
-stained plywood
- ½” rolltrim
-handsewn upholstery

13. Course Outcomes
❏ Gained knowledge and confidence in Fusion360 software capabilities
❏ Exposed to new technology and methods of creating products- ie MasterCam
❏ Expanded Design Thinking Skills & real-world applications
❏ Designed & Created usable products
❏ Motivated to continue pursuing a career in Sustainable Design
