Challenge: In teams of 2, we have to design and build a bottle opener.
-Have to be made from a single piece of Delrin plastic sheet (either 1/8", 3/16" or 1/4" thick) using a laser cutter
-Could not be greater than 6" in any dimension (high cost of Delrin).
Our first assignment was to design and create a bottle opener. We (Julie and I) first had to brainstorm for some ideas. We first started drawing rough sketches (some looked ridiculous). Eventually, we decided to consider one part at a time (the head-part, the handle-part, and the teeth-part of a bottle opener). To make final decisions on the design, we created a Pugh chart to determine which design was the best. Our final decision was to make a rounded-shaped bottle opener with 3 teeth and a keychain hole. We didn't want our bottle opener to have sharp edges for better portability (to carry it easily in one's pocket). Our design was not the most original, but we tried to focus on the bottle opener's performance.

I can't see the images that you uploaded; can you revise? Also, the first paragraph is white text with white background, which isn't ideal. Thanks!
