Product Teardown

Learn how everyday products are designed, manufactured, and assembled through interactive product teardown exercises. This educational app gives students a hands-on way to explore products from the inside out. Work through structured teardowns to identify components, understand how parts are made, examine assembly methods, and connect product design decisions to manufacturing and cost. Students can explore different product types and investigate: Product components and their functions Materials and material selection Manufacturing processes Assembly methods and sequences Product architecture and design decisions Manufacturing and component costs Instructors can pair the app with custom exercises focused on topics such as cost analysis, materials, manufacturing processes, and assembly. These exercises help connect hands-on product exploration with concepts taught in engineering, design, and manufacturing courses. Whether examining a familiar consumer product or learning how a complex assembly comes together, students develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between product design, materials, manufacturing, assembly, and cost. Learn the product. Understand the process. See how it’s made.
