Greenfly dis-assembly task





From this greenfly dis-assembly activity, it gives us some insight as to how to use greenfly and the benefits this program has as a tool for designers, manufacturers and engineers, getting an accurate estimation of the effects our designs have/may have on the environment.
The actual dis-assembly task was a really good learning experience and a change from our usual routines of putting things together. The dis-assembly gave us an opportunity to really analyse some of the methods and specific materials used in the production of consumer goods.
We also had moments where we would discuss with the team some of our observations we had made, like why certain parts of the blender were particularly difficult to separate and what were the reasons for this.
Overall a valuable learning experience as a designer to actually take products apart down to the screws.
