Theory - Paper and Boards Flashcards
Paper and boards are made from…………….found in wood, rags, or grasses, which are all………..materials
Cellulose Fibres
Renewable
Often paper and board, is at least part - recycled, making it a more……………..material than polymers
Environmentally Friendly
What is paper measured in
Grams per Square Meter (gsm)
Anything less than 200gsm is considered paper
What is Isometric Grid Paper
Heavily used in DT, makes drawing in 3D easier by providing grid lines at 30º angles.
Allows us to accurately create isometric drawings
Give 5 different types of paper
Bleed Proof paper Cartridge paper Grid paper Layout paper Tracing paper
What are the properties of Bleed Proof paper
What is it used for
Smooth
Often used with water spirits based markers
Prevents marker bleed (when inks runs and seeps through the paper)
Used for presentation drawings
What are the properties of Cartridge paper
What is it used for
Good quality whit paper, often with a slight texture
Available in different weights
Due to the good quality, it can be used for paints and markers, as well as drawings
What are the properties of Grid paper
What is it used for
Paper printed with different grids as guidelines
Quick model making and working drawings
What are the properties of Layout paper
What is it used for
Thin Translucent Lightweight Can be drawn on with markers Takes colours well
Initial quick sketching and tracing
What are the properties of Tracing paper
What is it used for
Thin
Transparent
Tracing copies of drawings
What are boards
Always greater than 200gsm
Corrugated card is a relatively light material and is often used to protect products during transport
Normally over 2.5mm thick, consist of a flutter or ridged layer between two thin layers of cardboard.
What is Corrugated Cardboard
A good modelling material
Makes furniture due to it’s strength to weight ratio
Possible to be made from recycled materials
Made from renewable materials
Give 6 different card and boards
Corrugated card Duplex board Foil lined board Foam core board Inkjet Card Solid white board
What are the properties of Corrugated card
What is it used for
Strong
Lightweight
Made up of two or more layers and a flutter middle section, leading to good insulating properties.
Available in different thicknesses
Packaging, such as pizza boxes
Large boxes used for heavy items that need protection
What are the properties of Duplex Board
What is it used for
This board that often has one side that’s suitable for printing
Food packaging
