Materials and Manufacture Research
1. Create a mind map, list or paragraph explaining what materials are available in the workshop. Explain their properties and sustainability.
2. Choose one material and explain why you will be making your product out of it. Refer to the wants and needs of your target market and client. Explain how the wants and needs of your target market may be compromised for practicality or cost. Consider the finish applied to improve the aesthetic quality and protect the product.
3. If money was no issue and you were able to choose any material in the world, what would be the best material for your product? Would aesthetics be important? Would sustainability be important? Research the ideal material for your product and explain that if you could, this would be the material that you would use for your product.
4. Consider the tools and machines you will use to make your product. List these tools and machines and explain how you made quality control checks. e.g. Pillar drill: mark out using try square and steel rule. Check marking out with a template. Drill hole and check against template.
5. Explain how the tools and processes would change if your product was being made on an assembly line, not as a one off.
