what dies anthropremtics mean
Anthropometrics is the study of the sizes of people in relation to products. For example, chairs used in schools need to be suitable for the average size of pupils in the schools.
what does ergormmimcs mean
Ergonomics is the relationship between people and the products which they use. Anthropometric data is used to help design products to meet ergonomic needs. Ergonomics also considers the force a person can apply, for example when using a tin opener, or the pedals of a car.
what are smart matirals
Smart materials have properties that react to changes in their environment. This means that one of their properties can be changed by an external condition, such as temperature, light, pressure or electricity. This change is reversible and can be repeated many times. example is
name a smart matrial
Thermochromic materials change colour as the temperature changes. These are used on contact thermometers made from plastic strips and test strips on the side of batteries (where the heat comes from a resistor under the thermochromic film). They are also used as food packaging materials that show you when the product they contain is cooked to the right temperature.
what is cad
CAD (computer-aided design) software is used by architects, engineers, drafters, artists, and others to create precision drawings or technical illustrations. CAD software can be used to create two-dimensional (2-D) drawings or three-dimensional (3-D) models.
why is cad useful
CAD is good becasue its can you give you a detaild design of the prdocut wihtout actully making it so yuo can see it at different angles so you can examne what could go wrong ,its all easy to share and email to other workers, it saves money from making the product and it being notright
why is a model usful
Hving a 3d deisgn /model is good because it helps you look at thing differently and it gives you a more actuate repression of them model, meaning you can have a better option on it it looks professional, making consumers increasing interested

what is a standersided compoment
A standard component is a pre-prepared ingredient that is used in the production of a food product. Examples of standard components are
pizza bases ready-made sauces
Advantages of using standard components ensures consistency saves time and effort less skill required by staff less specialist equipment needed can reduce costs components bought in bulk
reduces risk - high risk foods prepared elsewhere
Disadvantages of using standard components
less reliable - one manufacturer depends on another
components can be more expensive
sensory qualities may not be as good as fresh ingredients
large amount of storage space
time needed for ordering and delivery
what is CAM
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) means using machines that are controlled by computers. CAM is widely used across all sectors of industry, not just electronics.
why is cam good
speed: CAM is faster because machining speeds are higher
greater accuracy
greater consistency: every finished product is the same
efficiency: production can run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
sophistication: CAM is able to machine difficult shapes, eg tracks on a circuit boards
Disadvantages of CNC machines
they are more expensive than manual machines
it can take a long time to write the program to operate them
For these reasons, CNC machines are normally only used when a number of identical products is needed.
hoe do trends effect deisners
Designers need to consider buying power as well as the people
they are designing for. Total buying power depends on current income, prices, savings and credit. When the economy is more confident, people will accept a design that is less of a need and more of a want.
