Ceramic coffee mug

-raw material: Sand (organic origin) -Manufacturing process: it is done by eliminating foreing bodies with which de mug is mixed. The clay should be crumbled into particles of convienent size.The homogenizacion must be manually.

-other material:We could do this object with others materials like plastic or glass,but in my opinion is looks better and more beautiful made by clay. However it has a bad side that is that it is easy to break. If it will be plastic it wouldn't break.

Functions: Protecting the inside, providing shape also ir supports forces of compresssion when we support the mug and forces of sheer in the handle.

Glass Mirror

RAW MATERIAL: Glass
ORIGIN: Mineral
MANUFACTURING PROCESS: It is obtained from sand, silica, sodium carbonate and limestone. There are melted and then molded.
OBJECT'S FUNCTION: Reflect images
PROPERTIES: Opaque, thermal conductor, electric insulator, stainless, impermeable, lightweight, rigid, hard, fragile, ductil and maleable, nonn renewable and non biodegradable
OTHER MATERIALS: I think it could be made from other material but it would be much worse because they reflect worse.

Resin dog toy

- Raw material: Resin from a tree

-Manufacturing process: Synthetic resins are produced by polymerization reactions. The material has two components,- pure resin -the hardener

-Other material: this could be made up of many different materials like plastic or leather. But resin is better for this function because it isn't toxic for the dog so there isn't any danger if he eat it,also is quite flexible.

Functions: The fuction of the object is to make the dog have a fun time. Also it supports some effords as compression when the dog bittes it, and also tension in the cord.

Wool carpet

28ca40 — 2024-05-14 08:11:49 UTC

RAW MATERIAL: Wool
ORIGIN: Organic
MANUFACTURING PROCESS: The wool is obtained from sheeps which are first sheared, then cleaned and streched. Then wool is spun and finally dyed and ready
OBJECT'S FUNCTION:
decoration, there are no structural functions.
PROPERTIES: Opaque, thermal insulator, combustible, electric insulator, stainless, impermeable, lightweight, rigid, plastic, soft, tough, ductil and maleable, renewable, biodegradable
OTHER MATERIAL: I think it could be made from other material without being worse, it will only change the texture.
