Flashcards do conjunto (23)
- 1What is Market Pull?When new or improved products are designed as a result of consumer demand.
Example: Cars now have wifi and air con etc... - 2Technology Push is:...
- 3A design brief is:A starting point for the development of the product:
-what type of product it is
-how the product will be used
-who the product is for - 4How can culture influence a design?Depending on who you're designing for, you'd reflect their culture in your design.
Culture can affect aesthetics eg colour association - 5How can products influence society?Example: videogames can make children stay inside instead of going outside and getting some exercise
Lots of cars mean people drive to shopping centres instead of supporting local
Some products could offend people
designers have a responsibility to think about the impact of their designs - 6What are the social and environmental impacts of manufacturing?-manufacturing can cause pollution
-Process can use lots of energy... consider use of renewable sources
-Made under good working conditions? EG fair pay, protective clothing etc - 7Why do people do market research?To find out likes and dislikes of existing products
check people will actually buy your product
work out your target market - 8What types of questionnaires can you use?1) Closed questions- limited number of possible answers, easier to analyse
2) Open questions- no set answer, opinions and detail. Harder to draw conclusions from
3) Multiple choice questions- choice of answers in boxes - 9What is a design specification?Gives certain criteria your product must meet. These should take into account your research findings.
Acts as a guide to make the product how you want it
You evaluate against spec
EG: size, aesthetics, price - 10What is modelling use for?modelling is a good way to spot and fix problems. It allows you to try different joints and material.
You can test your model and evaluate it against the design spec - 11What can you consider when making safe products?could product be dangerous if misused? Include safety instructions
Is it ergonomic so wont cause long term health impacts?
No unnecessary sharp corners
Kids toys with non-toxic finishes
small components attached well so no choking hazard
use standard components bc rigorously tested - 12What does this symbol mean?A product has met safety and quality standards set by the British Standards Institute. BSI independently test products.
- 13What laws can be broken if a product isn't safe or reliable?THE TRADE DESCRIPTIONS ACTS - ensure claims about a product are true
THE CONSUMER SAFETY ACT- covers fire regulations
THE SALE OF GOODS ACT- ensures product performs as you would expect for length of time
FIRE SAFETY REGULATIONS- upholstered products to ensure don't catch fire easily or release toxic fumes when burnt - 14What does this symbol mean?a product meets EU safety standards
- 15Features of perspective drawings:use vanishing points
- 16Features of isometric drawingsshow objects at 30 degrees
doesn't show perspective
easier to get dimensions
vertical edges drawn vertically
horizontal edges drawn at 30 degs - 17features of assembly drawingsshow how things fit together
EXPLODED VIEW
-separate parts moved out
-parts of product are drawn in line with part they're attached to
-dotted lines show exploded from
SECTIONAL DRAWINGS
show if product was cut in 2 - 18name software that feature CAD2D= TechSoft 2D Design
3D= Pro/DESKTOP or SolidWorks - 19positives of CADhelps model and change ideas quickly
experiment with colours and forms
spot problems before making
view from all angles
rapid protyping - 20What does this symbol mean?orthographic projection
shows 2D views of a 3D object
front view, plan view, end view
drawn to scale
dimensions in mm
- 21What's a manufacturers specification?-a series of written statements or working drawings and sequence drawings
-has to explain exactly how to make the product
-construction details
-materials
-sizes
-tolerances
-finishing
-quality control
-cost
-how to ensure consistency
-health and safety, quality control - 22what is work order?produced as table or flow chart
purpose is to plan sequence of each task to be carried out
tools, equipment, quality,safety - 23What is a Gantt chart?task on left side
timing across top
shows how long each task takes and the order or making. shows how construction will fit into total time allowed for production
