Design Review and CAD!

After narrowing down to three ideas, our team decided to move forward with...

... the Cocktail Yoyo!

The idea: A transparent glass with a colorful drink, garnished with a lime. 

With this inspiration in mind, we arrived at the following design:

And now a bit about how it works! We broke up our design into four main parts, which we call the glass, the liquid, the ice, and the lime.



the glass

The glass is the body of our yoyo. It will be thermoformed with clear plastic to create the glass-like outer shell that we are after. The glass will close-fit over the set screw and press fit with the liquid dome inside.


the liquid

The liquid is the drink itself. It will be injection molded and will have several important connections. The liquid will press fit into the glass, and the ice will then be press fit into the liquid.


the ice

The ice is a cover for our yoyo. Like the liquid, this part will also be injection molded. The ice will be press fit into the liquid.


the lime

                                                                                

Without the lime, our cocktail would be incomplete. The lime garnish is an injection molded part that has two pins. These pins will connect the halves of the lime around the rim of the glass.
