Abstract

The title of this project is “Design and Development of Car Gear Knob for Mass Customization”. The aim of this project is to design car gear knob, apply “design database” as a tool for mass customization on the design and development of customize gear knob, understand the manufacturing processes involved and to determine its contribution to “Time to Market” of mass customize gear knob. Car gear knob is chosen as a sample product to see whether using design database it can be mass customize. By using this method it can take a shorter time to produce car gear knob compared to the current method today. To fulfill this mission, three aesthetic features of car gear knob named as round, cylindrical and curve knobs are selected. Then, both three aesthetic gear knob is design using the “SolidWorks” software and apply design database method to customize the shapes and sizes through the “design table”. Design table is a tool in “SolidWorks” and used to create different configurations or dimensions of a product. This method can also change the dimensions and features of an existing gear knob to create multiple configurations where the configurations control the size and shape of a gear knob. The manufacturing process selected for this gear knob is “Rapid Prototyping” as it can manufacture in shorter time period. The contribution towards “Time to Market” is done by recording the design time and modification of the design by inputting data in the design database. The time collected by this method is compared to conventional method to get the best method in designing customize car gear knob.
