Ceremonial Matcha Tea Robot Master

made with computer-aided design

To Do

Individual Assignment

  • plan and sketch a potential final project
  • model (raster, vector, 2D, 3D, render, animate, simulate, ...) a possible final project
  • compress images and videos
  • post a description with design files on the class page

Tools

  • Software: Notability, Onshape, Optimizilla

1. Ideating

I wanted to challenge myself by building something delicate and precise. Drawing inspiration from activities in my own life, I thought to make a robot that prepares matcha tea with ceremonial tools and methods. Every Monday morning, I make my own matcha latte, though it is a tedious process. Building this robot would help my mornings run more smoothly.

2. Drawing

First, I drew my project idea in Notability.

3. Applying 3D CAD

After taking a Self-Guided Onshape Bootcamp course, I modeled the design in Onshape. With the design, I took screenshots and compressed my images using Optimizilla. The 3D CAD file can be accessed here.
