Polymer Based Materials Designing with restrictions Orthographic Projection & Rendering YEAR Timber Based Materials Designing with restrictions Isometric drawing & Rendering Use of hand tools and machines Health and Safety Timber Types & Sources Stock forms The conversion process CAD What is computer aided design? Learn to use the basics of 2D software to design products Contextual Challenge CAD/CAM • • What is CAM? Use the laser cutter to produce your final product! How has CAD / CAM helped you make a product? Create a range of design ideas Make a prototype • • • Evaluate Does your product work? How can you fix problems? DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY Past Year work… Timber Based Materials This is focused practical task with a small design element Students learn timber theory and skills when working with timber based materials They learn how to: • Measure and mark out • Remove wastage by sawing, sanding and drilling • Create a dowel joint • Adhesives suitable for joining timber based materials Polymer Based Materials This is focused practical task Students learn polymer theory and skills when working with polymer based materials They learn how to: • Measure and mark out • Remove wastage by sawing, sanding and filing • Thermoforming using a strip heater • Adhesives suitable for joining polymers CAD/CAM Students learn about computer aided design and computer aided manufacture They use CAD software to draw put ideas for a simple product and then use CAM to make the product on a laser cutter Contextual Challenge This project has more of a design focus and students can choose their own themes, materials and manufacturing processes They will combine the skills and knowledge built up from the start of Year to create a desk organizer for a user of their choice
