QUESTION 1 The design process step 3 is referred to as the
make stage. It is important to plan for this stage. Planning
includes those activities which are involved when working out,
in advance, how a product, process or system is to be produced
or realised before actually doing it. Make notes regarding the
materials needed by finding answers to the following questions:
a. What different types of material are needed? (2) b. What
should the quality of the different materials be? (2) c. What are
the sizes of the available raw materials? (3) d. Will the different
materials have to be cut to size? (5) e. Will the different
materials have to be shaped? (5) f. What does the final finish of
the product or prototype have to be? (3) [20]
a. What different types of material are needed? (2)
1. Base Materials: Depending on the product or system, you
may need metals, plastics, wood, or composite materials.
2. Support Materials: These could include adhesives,
fasteners (e.g., screws, bolts), or insulation materials.
b. What should the quality of the different materials be? (2)
1. Durability: Materials should be able to withstand the
intended use without degrading too quickly.
2. Consistency: High-quality materials should have uniform
properties (e.g., strength, flexibility, density) across batches
to ensure reliable production.
, c. What are the sizes of the available raw materials? (3)
1. Standard Sheet Sizes: Metals or plastics may come in
sheets or rolls of specific dimensions (e.g., 1.2m x 2.4m).
2. Rod or Bar Lengths: Materials like wood, steel, or
aluminum may come in standard lengths (e.g., 3m, 6m).
3. Custom Sizes: Some suppliers offer custom sizes based on
manufacturing needs.
d. Will the different materials have to be cut to size? (5)
1. Yes, depending on the product: For example, if you're
constructing a box, metal sheets may need to be cut into
panels.
2. Wood: Must be cut into smaller parts or specific shapes for
furniture or construction.
3. Plastic: Sheets or rods may need precision cutting for
components.
4. Foam or Insulation: Often cut to fit spaces in structural
builds.
5. Metal Tubes/Rods: These might be cut into different
lengths depending on the design.
e. Will the different materials have to be shaped? (5)
1. Metal Shaping: Bending or welding processes might be
needed to form metal into specific shapes.
2. Wood Shaping: Can be carved, sanded, or turned on a
lathe for desired shapes.
3. Plastic Shaping: Injection molding or thermoforming may
be used to shape plastic components.
