This paper presents a study on the modeling for transparent toaster with a cap of folding type. The toaster was modelled to solve problems of customer's unsatisfaction such as heat loss, input of a piece of dirt, unidentified heating state of sliced toaster. Rapid prototyping was followed by the first modeling, and the second modeling was implemented in order to solve the problems of the first modeling such as interference of holder and door, and the third modeling was developed with a cap of folding type through analysis of assembly and simulation. The 3D modeling tool used in this paper was Pro/Engineer 4.0. The modeling was designed to minimize heat loss and structured with transparent outer case. So the toasting procedure will be identified with the naked eye, and the transparent toaster will improve the customer's aesthetic satisfaction.
