Tutor Tom - Test the squeeze function by generating a plastic model. There is sometimes the honey would not dispense and the build up pressure in the silicone valve would blow a big blob of honey. Search up what material and process for the design. Design the enclosure, and test the design with appropriate materials. Find out what is wrong with existing packaging for honey.
Peer 1, Christine - There are laminated material used in tube packaging that eases the dispense of the last-few contents, which would have been difficult in other plastic packaging.
Peer 2, Clement - The grip comfort is alright on the mock-up model, but it needs more ergonomic design for the hand palm and the thumb. Adjusting the edges and the side curves of the bottle would help create more comfort and secure grip for the user.
Other tutor, Mar to another student - Conduct experiments of upside down containers that are in the market, and investigate this feature with the proposed food product. Understand the nature, e.g. viscosity of the oil, and observe the result. Consider the use of the packaging design, such as hygiene, user interaction, packaging seal, graphics and labelling.
Reflection, This week, I plan to generate a model of the bottle design with vacuum form PETG sheets, to try the squeeze action with actual honey content. I hope to have the result and make it a convincing evidence of the primary research. Also to do testing of the enclosure fitting in relation with the squeeze plastic. Research into what materials and process to is appropriated for the design. Discover a way to get the last contents without the objective of minimal frustration and exclude the use of tool. Test the valve, and consider the pressured honey-blob dispense. Begin CAD drawing on solidworks and presentation posters.
