Things I Just Cant Remember Flashcards
Qrm
Manufacturing strategy to reduce lead times.
Why is symmetry important in design?
It offers inclusivity for both left and right-handed users and can give visual balance where as a symmetry can add interest and focused to designs
Anthropomorphism
The use of recognisably human characteristics within a design.
It provides emotional or humorous connections to the products sometimes unintentionally
Ergonomics
The scientific study of people and they’re working conditions. Interaction with products through all senses needs to be considered to avoid discomfort and stress.
Anthropometric
Measurements of the human body in context of product design the designer must consider which percentile they designed for
Inclusive design
Aims to meet the needs of the widest possible range of people who might interact with the product. Empathy with the target user as a key part of the design for a range of abilities.
Empathic design
Simulation of conditions limiting the ability of potential users in order to facilitate the development of more successful and inclusive products
Risk assessment
A process that considers what might cause harm to people and what reasonable steps might be taken to prevent that harm
How long does copyright last
70 years after the death of the creator
Unregistered design rights
Provide legal protection for designers to stop an authorised copying for 10 years. They cover appearance not how the product works.
Patents
Government issued protection on working parts of a design. Provides up to 20 years of legal protection but are expensive and complicated to obtain.
Registered design
Legal protection for a product appearance and decoration not working parts. Registered for up to 25 years.
Trademark
Give me protection for brand identity and marketing. A recognise combination of words will need to be renewed every 10 years.
Open design
Camino approach to design that is intended to realise products for the common good of society rather than financial reward. It encourages collaboration and sharing. Can be used freely.
How is efficient manufacture achieved
Modular designs with easy to monitor sub systems.
Standardised parts and sizes across a range of products.
Wave or reflow methods for manufacturing circuits rather than manual soldering.
Ensure optimum layout of manufacturing system by using simulation software
Feasibility study
The use of methods to assess the practicality of a project
Takt time
The maximum amount of time to manufacture a product to meet consumer demand
Collaboratorative design
Working in a design team and sharing expertise
Design report
An industrial design teams project record for future reference
Executive summary
Concise overview of the project resulting design and its effectiveness.
Bar chart
Simplest way of representing data.
Used in many different reports and in the media
Commonly used
Pictograph
Very easy to understand
Quick to read.
Suitable for presentations.
Not very accurate.
Histogram
Similar to Bart
Data is shown in ranges.
You told to show the frequency distribution of data.
Particularly useful for showing results of research
Line graph
Can show data changes over time
Easy to understand.
Accurate due to use of scales
Pie chart
Shows data distribution.
Size of segments is relative to proportion of data.
Very easy to reason understand
When are data tables used?
Anthropometric data
Cutting list
Costings
What do data tables enable you to do?
Interpret data
Identify patterns or incorrect data
Add missing data
Orthographic projections
Includes front plan and end elevations.
Used by engineers and manufacturers.
Standardised method for dimensioning scale line types
Sectional drawings
Shows internal details.
The object is usually cut in half along a cutting plane
Isometric
Simple 3-D drawing method
Used to sketch designs
Can be drawn freehand
Square gives 30° accuracy
Isometric crating
Hopes to sketch in isometric.
Particularly useful for sloping surfaces and curves
One point perspective
Simple 3-D drawing method.
Often used by architects and interior designers to sketch buildings of rooms.
Gives the drawing depth.
Objects get smaller closer than they are to vanishing point.
Can be used for design ideas
Two point perspective
The 3-D drawings of design ideas
Exaggerates the 3-D effect
Object can be drawn above or below the horizon line
Thick/ thin line technique
Makes 3-D drawing stand out.
External edges are bold and thick.
Internal lines are thin
Marker rendering
Spirit based markers are used.
They provide a base colour.
Additional layers of colour or town can be added.
Fine line pens added more detail.
Enhances realism of drawings
Mixed media drawings
Make use of pencil and fine line pen
Mark pen
Watercolour area cover.
Realistic textures are possible
Texture rendering
Added using a fine line pen
Specific materials can be suggested.
Can use wood grain
Cross hatching
Stippling
Standardise system of symbols and figures for engineered drawings
Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing
