Consumer Need  
Researching. Initial specification.  Anthropometrics,
Ergonomics, Market surveys, Designing solutions, development, Flow charts, Production methods, Quantity Production, Tolerance & Cost implications. Jigs & Formers
Drawing techniques
Drawings, colouring & enhancing . Using mock-up models (2D & 3-D). Non-Destructive testing. Use of A3 boards
  
Drawing conventions
Isometric (includes drawing circles and curves in
isometric)  Oblique. (Cavalier + Cabinet ), 1 & 2 point
Orthographic 3rd angle. Dimensioning rules.  
Planometric, Thick & Thin Lines
ICT Applications
Use of CAD / CAM. Batch production. DTP,
Data presentation - Bar charts etc. Text, Packaging,
Colour. Using ICT for Control of production lines.  
Use of spreadsheets. Stereolithography – modelling
Production Scales &
 Packaging Implications
Batch, Repetitive flow, Continual flow, Job production
Difference between Quality assurance and quality control. Labelling, legislation, storage of product.  Quality Control
 Textile lanelling legislation,  Food labelling
Product evaluation
Assess product  -  fitness for purpose  Pack-Design issues
Product evaluation
Assess product  -  fitness for purpose  Pack-Design issues
Drawing methods
Basic Graphic shapes- triangles, quadrilaterals,  hexagon
pentagons, hexagons, octagons, ellipses             symmetry
Model making
Using card, paper, rigid foam to make prototypes (models)
Product Manufacture
Developments ( Nets ) for cubes, prisms, cylinders, use of tabs & slots for constructions without glue. Cube net

Design Cycle in
creating the product
Brief, Research, Specification, Ideas, Development,
Proposals for change
CAD   -   CAM  -           CIM
CNC   -   CADD
Use of computers in design - CAD, DTP, CNC, CAM.  
Use for manufacturing, e.g. self adhesive signs,
prototyping, etc. e.g.stereolithography  
Draw packages Use of digital cameras and image
manipulation. Choose and size text. Cutters and plotters
Basic Structures
Recognise structures in man made and natural materials.
Frames – rigidity. Tension, Compression, Torsion, Shear
Machine testing,  Safety factors - Loading.   E.g. Bridges
Packaging
Be aware of the main aims of packaging:
Protect, Promote, Preserve, Contain, Inform
Legislation, distribution, storage, consumer preference -  
implications for packaging. Consumer rights
