Design and create a full scale model of a simple, iconic watering can.
Design Requirements
- must be able to hold and dispense water
- must have a capacity between .5 and 1.5 gallons of water
- must have a handle that allows for both carrying and pouring grips
- must have a spout that extends from the body by at least 75% of the length of the body
- the spout must be joined to the bottom of the body and rise to an elevation above the filling hole to provide effective pouring action.
- must be symmetrical along the axis from handle to spout
- must be a single contiguous volume – a separate nozzle is permitted, but not required
- must have an opening at or near the top of the body to allow for filling. The size and shape of the opening should be proportional to the capacity of the watering can: larger can = larger filling hole.
- refer to the illustration below for clarification of the dimensional requirements
Model Requirements
- primary model making material is extruded polystyrene foam, other materials may be used for special structural or dimensional requirements
- primary shaping of foam will be completed on the CNC router
- models should be sanded, filled and painted to illustrate the intended materials, textures, and colors
- models are to be built at 1:1 scale
