Specifications
Spec Quantifiable statement (testable, with constraints)
Ease of use The product conducts the flavoring process successfully 90% of the time on the 1st attempt.
Aesthetics 90% of 50 consumers prefer our design over the conventional water bottle. The design must have volume graduations.
Color Color to be determined by potential consumers.
Volume Volume will be between 0.5 and 1 liter.
Material To be determined by tests ranging from durability, cost, appeal, etc.
Specifications Con’t
Functionality Multiple tests. Encompasses no leaking, operational flavor system, no leaking occurring in flavor chamber, not a hassle to carry
Reliability/Durability Functional a set amount (30-50) uses ranging from use in washing machine, actual use refilling, drop tests, throwing tests, pressure tests, and is still operational.
Cost Has base cost that is competitive pricing compared to competing companies ($5-$20)
Feasibility Is easy to be built by local vendors and us with proper equipment (injection molding, etc.).
Usability The water flavoring system must flavor three to five times before needing to be refilled. There should be a minimum of two flavoring options. There should be a maximum of 3 processes to flavor.
Exploring Possibilities
Made secondary sketchesHad to fulfill the Specifications
Discussed our ideas and their function Multiple designs to choose from
Sketches
Selecting an Approach
To decide on the design, we made a weighted constraint matrixAllowed us to evaluate the design
using our specificationsWeighed the specifications differentlyHighest score would be the best
suitable design

Prototyping
Very critical stepSee if our idea is going to work
Prototype constructions was completed at Bartlett High School
5 prototypes2 testable prototypes
Building the Prototype
Testing and Evaluating
Came up with five (5) different testing proceduresMake sure our prototypes work
properlyMake sure our prototypes meet our
specifications properly
Testing and Evaluating Con’t
Ease of UseMake sure the product is able to be
used by the consumer Waterproofing
Make sure water does not leak Durability
Make sure all systems withstand use and abuse
Testing and Evaluating Con’t
Product LongevitySee how long the bottle will function
properly Cleanliness
To ensure to bottle will not keep unwanted residue from flavoring
Refining the Design
We wanted to keep our flavoring device secureFound a water bottle with a flip up cap
• Prevent from breaking when falling
Implemented our design within that new water bottle
Same flavoring process - new look
Building Next prototype
Final Solution
Thermos Intak BPA Free Hydration Bottle – Blue (24oz.)
