The design part for this project was a very large part of what we did. We started with concepts, refined those concepts and then converted our final design into a CAD model in order to 3D print it. In the links below you will find more information and a more detailed look at our design process.

Design Specification

Target audience		A-Level and First year Engineering students
Product overview		A water rocket kit that is to be used to construct a rocket made from the kit and a 2-litre soda bottle. The maximum pressure to be used is 10 bar.
Performance		The rocket must be able to reach a considerable (vertical) height using compressed air and water. The group has determined that above 10 metres is considerable height.
Aesthetic design		The rocket should look sleek an appealing to look at whilst remaining functional.
Materials		The materials for this rocket kit should be strong and lightweight. Consider using 3D printed components or other suitable materials.
Cost		The cost of the kit should be similar to other competitors on the market. Slight variation in price is permitted so long as it reflects the quality of the kit. Material cost should be kept as low as possible, as the greatest cost incurred will be labour cost (hours spent by the team working on the project).
