Project – 3D Modelling and Design

Inquiry and Analysis

Statement of Inquiry: Digital Design & Printing as a form of communication and output has evolved through time and space to influence audience’s perspective.

Introduction

My name is Joseph and I am a student of technology in an international school in Dubai. As part of my MYP unit in my first term, I am learning about a simple, 2-D and 3-D modelling software called TinkerCad. This software helps you to make 2-D and 3-D object designs. For my project in term 1, I have been told to think about a design I should make in TinkerCad, so as soon as I got home, I thought about it straight away.
So I have decided for my MYP program project to make a drone which you could attach your phone into so you could record amazing views with your phone. I chose this idea because many adventure, travel videos have inspired me by taking some really good shots with a drone. And these drones have very high quality video recording.
I have looked up some of these drones, and they were awfully expensive. Some were the ones with a drone without a camera, then have to buy and attach a gimbal onto the drone to put the camera/phone/go pro or any other type of recording device onto it.
I thought that phones these days have some really good cameras, so why not build a drone which doesn't constist of expensive materials, and attach a phone holder onto it?

Primary Research:

I have held a survey, consisting of 4 questions, related to the product I have designed.

And these are also a graph made based on the 4 questions I asked




Secondary Research:
I have researched on the internet on different drones that other people have created/invented, and I haven't seen any which can hold phones. All of these brilliant drones either have their own high definition camera or it can other types of cameras (e.g. DSLR's and GoPro's)
Another thing I've inquired, are these drones costs a lot. From a wide range of cost (e.g. $300 - $6000) And this is something I don't want to do.
I have used some of these drones as an inspiration.

This drone is called the DJI Phantom 3. This is one of the most advanced drones you can get in the market. This has its own high-def camera, it shoots in 4K.
This is the Parrot Bebop Drone, this is made towards beginners - novice drone flyers. This has its own camera which shoots in high quality (2.7 K)





This is the IRIS+ drone. This drone is towards professional drone flyers. This drone holds a GoPro, because of this, it is very expensive, It doesn't come with the camera,

Design Specification:

My phone-attaching drone, Phrone I would call, would be made out of strong carbon fiber. Including the gimbal, making the drone get a full, unlimited three sixty degree view of the world under. Phrone would include a three axis stabilization gimbal, which would make the video/photo results not shaky. The fully functional remote, will have a phone/tablet holder, which would have an app to see what the other phone on the drone would see. This app is available in IOS, Android and Windows. The drone would have a huge limit of 4 kilo meters away from the remote, giving the user complete control of what they wish to record.

Design Specification Part 2

Aesthetics: Medium sized, simple design, white.
Cost: 500 dhs/125 dollars
Customer: Film-makers (view filming, aerial filming etc)
Environmental considerations: Costs less than other high-quality drones.
Function: Used to film in a high altitude. Mainly directed to film makers. Stored in electronic stores (e.g sharaf dg, virgin etc) Very simple to use, turn on drone, attach your phone onto in, and start recording!
Manufacturing: Made out of a strong, light material. Carbon fiber.
Software: Needs a phone with a camera. Preferably good cameras (e.g iPhone, Samsung etc)
Safety: PG13, anyone under 13 years old needs parental guidance.
Size: Medium
