How the measurements were taken Basically, I draw this measured drawing by taking photos. And in order to take an accurate scaled photo, I set the camera lens to be further than 28mm to avoid deformation. And for the part I couldn’t trace directly from the photo, I use ruler to measure them, like the height of the inner surface and the width of the stainless steel handle. However, when I was drawing the section, the curve hollowed depression is hard to measure and not able to be taken photo. Therefore, I borrow the idea of the vase in the reading 300 years of industrial design(Jensen), by inserting a piece of cardboard paper into the hollow and trace along the curve by using skinny pencil lead.

Analysis
The average distance between the eight steel wire is 6.5mm. Although the wire is not very hard, the thickness of its diameter help it cuts the egg sharply enough.
The aviliavle switch angle of the cutter is between 180 degree to 0 degree, which provides the biggest flexiablity and space to put different eggs in different sizes. The depth of this depression is 14mm which is generally half of the diameter of general size eggs. It designed efficiently to prevent the egg from slip away.
The egg cutter are in simple construction and consists 3 parts wich are a plastic hollowed holder a stainless steel handle and 8 stings of wire cutter. The size of the egg cutter is 83.5mm x 113mm, which is easy to carry. The material are light and easy to be clean as well.
The distance between every plastic strip is 3mm to make sure the tinny smashed pieces fallen from egg would not stuck into the gap and easy to be cleaned. 6
