Shifting to Virtual Learning

As of March 13th, 2020, all MIT classes became virtual due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This includes Design for Manufacturing II (2.008), our yoyo project class. Although we are disappointed that we will not be able to produce a physical yoyo, we are excited to continue working on our yoyo design virtually. We are very fortunate to have access to modeling software that will make this transition possible. Autodesk Moldflow will enable us to simulate the injection molding process. We will use Moldflow's analysis to determine optimal molding parameters and modify our part dimensions to account for predicted shrinkage. Tecnomatix, a digital manufacturing software, will allow us to design a factory for manufacturing our yoyo at scale.
