In todays exercise, we were given a product to disassemble, for our group we have received a toaster. It is really interesting to disassemble something especially products, which we often use but do not have too much of an idea how the product works, in this case we had the toaster and we realize that there is actually a lot of parts in it. At first we were planning to disassemble it in a way that it can be easily get assembled back afterwards but we realize some parts inside the toaster has to be cut off to get it totally disassembled.
This toaster actually has a lot of parts, aluminium, steel, ceramic and plastics like PF, it's really interesting to see how many fasteners are used in this product too.
We were then told to redesign the toaster in a way that it's more eco-friendly, from the last photo shows one of our ideas which we have came up with.
This was a really fun exercise as we don't really get to disassemble products at home often. It is also a good experience to get to see whats inside products like these.
