This spring, volunteers from Cooper Standard have been working with 7th and 8th grade student teams to create a boat and perform a test on its buoyancy. They have designed and coded boat models, which will be 3D printed.

Project Goals & Evaluation Requirements

1. Performance Requirements

– Hold the most product (weight) while remaining afloat on body of water
– For prototype, the customer requires a minimum capable load of 5grams.

2. Manufacturing Cost
– Use minimal amount of material to keep costs down.
– Manufacturing cost ( Direct Labor / Time to 3D print + Material Cost)
– Selling price must not exceed $50.
– Maximize % Profit

3. Robustness Test
– No loss of performance (outlined in 1) after impact from 3ft drop
