Industrial Revolution manufactures and distributes products for outdoor enthusiasts. The company currently manufactures a family of candle lanterns that are popular with campers and hikers. Industrial Revolution asked the team to design a folding candle lantern to add to their existing line of products. This new design also needed to be ready to be manufactured, meaning all materials, packaging, and cost analysis of assembly needed to be completed. After evaluating many concepts, a design with closed dimensions of approximately 1 x 3.5 x 2.25 inches was chosen that would carry at least one tea light candle when folded. Detailed engineering drawings and solid models were created based on the final lantern design. After strength and thermal analysis were completed on design materials a prototype was constructed for manufacturing review using the most effective materials tested.
