environmental analysis 3d modeling functional requirement marketing modularity scalability material selection solidworks (cad) prototypingThe main objective of this project is to design and develop a robust, modular, and weather-resistant enclosure specifically tailored for multi-sensor forest monitoring devices. This enclosure will securely house sensors such as cameras, air quality detectors, humidity, and temperature sensors, ensuring accurate data collection while protecting the components from harsh environmental conditions such as rain, humidity, extreme temperatures, dust, and debris. The design will prioritize modularity to allow for easy assembly, maintenance, and adaptability for various sensor configurations. Additionally, the enclosure will include provisions for a power supply, such as integrated wire inlets and optional solar panel support, enabling sustainable and uninterrupted operation in remote forest environments. The final product will meet functional, environmental, and manufacturing requirements, with the design optimized for 3D printing and scalability.
