Q

what are 4 new and emerging technologies?

A
  • robotics
  • computer aided design (CAD)
  • 3D printing
  • computer aided manufacturing (CAM)
17
Q

how is robotics used?

A

robots are a lot quicker, more accurate and safer. eg. lazer cutters

18
Q

how is CAD used? (computer aided design)

A

designs can be developed from scanned sketches or drawings, or from scratch which reduces cost and development time

19
Q

how is 3D printing used?

A

rapid prototypes can be made

20
Q

how is CAM used ( computer aided manufacturing)

A

the use of digital information to directly drive machines and manufacturing systems

21
Q

what is lean manufacturing?

A

a system based on total quality management

22
Q

what are lean manufacturing strategies?

A

to reduce waste, time, labour, materials and processes.

23
Q

what are the manufacturing systems?

A

one off manufacturing
low volume production
mass production
continuous production

24
Q

what are the 4 sustainability frameworks/strategies?

A
  • life cycle analysis
  • cradle to cradle
  • design for disassembly
  • extended producer responsibility
25
Q

what are the benefits and downsides of life cycle analysis?

A

assessment of the life cycle of the product evaluates environmental impact however it can be time consuming and costly

26
Q

what is cradle to cradle?

A

considers ways in which products at the end of their useful life could contribute to the production of new products

27
Q

what are the benefits of design for disassembly?

A

it aims for easy repair and separation which can lead to easier recycling, no downsides

28
Q

what is extended producer responsibility?

A

recycling and disposal of a product falls to the manufacturer

29
Q

what is market research?

A

finds info about who might want the product, the features wanted which occurs during the product development process.

30
Q

what are the 5 market research elements?

A
