Q

What are visualisation drawings

A

Drawings to ‘get down’ initial design ideas and are usually completed quickly.

17
Q

What are design option drawings

A

Represent the preferred option and are larger and show the complete product with more accuracy, colour and detail than visualisation drawings

18
Q

What are working drawings

A

Developed for the preferred option for design and are often 2D, they communicate the products shape, size and measurements.

19
Q

What is the sustainability strategy of designing for disassembly

A

A design type that focuses on the product being able to be taken apart as to make the recycling process easier

20
Q

What is the sustainability strategy of cradle to cradle

A

A concept that emphasises a recycling plan for the end of life of a product so the material can continue to be reused in some way

21
Q

What is the sustainability strategy of Life Cycle Analysis

A

An internationally recognised technique for assessing the environmental aspects and potential impacts associated with a product over its life cycle

22
Q

What is a resistant material

A

Material that is generally solid in form and usually utilised for structural purposes

23
Q

What is a non resistant material

A

Materials that are flexible, easily moved, bent and shaped and can be used to cover surfaces

24
Q

What are five common properties of a resistant material

A

Compression strength
Elasticity
Malleability
Toughness
Plasticity

25
Q

What are five common properties of a non resistant material

A

Strength
Moisture ability
Thermal insulation
Elasticity
Durability

26
Q

What is a way to test Elasticity of a resistant material

A

Subject the object to load until it bends and release the load to see if the object returns to its original position

27
Q

What is a way to test strength of a non resistant material

A

Attach fabric sample to frame and load the sample with weight and measure the amount of weight needed to damage the material

28
Q

What are quality measures

A

Quality measures are quality checks that help avoid mistakes and ensure that the product turns out to be the best possible version
