![]() Our goal here is to make the shuffler more functionable and convenience, make it become one of good friends whenever there is a card game. By doing marketing research, analyzing design and survey, we have gotten alot ideas for putting new design along with more useful features on the existing product. In terms of product flaws, we noticed that some could easily be modified and corrected. Overall, the manufacturing aspect of the shuffler has been optimized fairly well and we feel there isn't much to be improved upon with regards to cutting costs or simplifying the manufacturing process. ![]() The plastic viewing screen on top was most likely made through injection molding while the attached metal sides were probably made by stamping. ![]() Afterwards, the individual pieces were probably glued and finally a CNC mill cut out the rectangular holes throughout the body. The outer shell/casing, which holds the cards during pre/post shuffling were likely also made through an injection molding process. The gears, which transfer rotational motion from the motor to the rubber wheels on top, were made through an injection molding process. The assembly of the product involves various manufacturing processes. After all the cards have been shuffled, the user can then slid out the plastic holder and reinsert the cards to the top and reshuffle if desired. The motor and gear train mechanism rotate a rubber wheel which pulls cards alternately from both sides on top of the shuffler. The on/off switch consists of a spring loaded button that depresses a curved piece of sheet metal, which in turn completes the circuit. It is powered by two āCā batteries which are connected in series to the motors and gear trains. The basic functionality of the automatic card shuffler is to take one or two decks and alternately shuffle them into a central holding compartment. The Automatic Card shuffler serves if not to completely eliminate, then reduce this error as much as possible. The deck might still have particular cards together prior to the shuffle as a result of human error. This human error is the result of poorly shuffled cards because of a lacking in the ability to shuffle cards effeciently. As a result, there isn't really a pattern that the deck of cards follow after a person shuffles them due to human error. Furthermore some people cannot not shuffle at all. One factor could be the simple fact that some people cannot shuffler as good as others. In reality the chances of the cards being shuffled evenly on a consistent basis are very slim. Now assuming that we live in an ideal world, the cards would be shuffled evenly so that neither player wouldn't have an unfair advantage. This action was to ensure that each player recieves an even hand when the cards are dealt out evenly. What usually takes place in a card game is that players would take turns shuffling the deck of cards in order to rearrange the previous order that the cards were in. The primary purpose of the Automatic Card shuffler originally was to take away the burden of one shuffling cards in a card game.
