Angle of Assembly Horizontal Assembly
Angle of Assembly Angular Assembly
Angle Of Assembly Selection Criteria Horizontal Assembly Vertical Assembly (DATUM) Angular Assembly* (30 o-45 o) Footprint - 0 - Stability of Part (Most Important) - 0 +* Cost - 0 + Ease of Manufacture - 0 - Total +’s 0 0 2 Total –’s 4 0 2 TOTAL -4 0 0 *We felt that the stability of the bottle top in the base was the most important criteria. Since the angular assembly can assure a part stability greater than that of a vertical assembly, we chose the angular assembly method.
