Disassembly

​

  • A disassembly plan was formulated so that the product wasn't taken apart blindly

  • Once fully disassembled, all part were labeled and a Bill of Materials was created 

  • For every part that ha a functional purpose, methods in which that part was manufactured and material properties were explored.
