Page 1 Product Photos Exploded isometric sketch Label materials Design Brief To make a replica model of a _____________ from the photos and working drawing. It should be to scale 1:1 with tolerances of ±1mm. The replica will include a new piece of packaging for the ____________and a new design for the surface graphics. Exploded isometric sketch Label materials Label adhesives Label sizes Specification It must be completed with a tolerance of ±1mm. It must be as realistic as possible. It must be finished to a high standard. It must be completed within 15 hours. It must be made from materials given.

sliding mechanisms, aesthetics, original dimensions, quality of finish, ergonomic aspects, packaging, quality of finish Room Specification Point Test Results Evidence What are you testing and why? Relevant, measurable, specific Photos etc Range of visual, tolerance, physical tests Any other points? Specification Point Comments _________ & Packaging Specification Point Test Results Evidence What are you testing and why? Relevant, measurable, specific Photos etc Any other points? Specification Point Comments 6 - Testing & Specification Check

Test 1 - Visual Photo evidence Surface finish Joints Colour Fonts (readability – survey for this?)

Test 2 - Tolerance Photo evidence Check sizes Several things the same size Measure a scale Ergonomics

Test 3 - Physical Density Electrical conductivity Electrical insulators Thermal properties Conductivity Insulator Optical properties Opaque Translucent Transparent Magnetism Malleability – The ability to withstand deformation. Ductility – The ability to be drawn out. Toughness – The ability to withstand sudden impact. Elasticity – The ability to flex and bend. Plasticity – The ability to be shaped permanently. Hardness – The ability to resist wear, indentation or deformation. Durability – The ability to withstand wear and tear, weathering or deterioration. Stability – The ability to resist changes in size and shape due to its environment. Strength – Tensile, Compressive, Bending, Shear and Torsional.

Photos of final product being tested by 3rd party – get them in it! sliding mechanisms, aesthetics, original dimensions, quality of finish, ergonomic aspects, packaging, quality of finish 3rd Party Testing Design Brief How well does it meet the brief? How and why? Survey asking user / 3rd party Introduction – who will you ask, what do you plan to do and why? Justification of Materials and Processes 1. Write question 1 2. Write question 2 Material / Process Justification e.g. MDF Explain why you chose the material / process. What was so good about it? e.g. Vacuum forming e.g. Wood lathe e.g. styrofoam What have you found out? Why is it useful to you? What have you found out? Why is it useful to you? 3. Write question 3 4. Write question 4 What have you found out? Why is it useful to you? What have you found out? Why is it useful to you? Summary What have you found out? Why is it useful to you overall? Photos of final product being tested by 3rd party – get them in it! Explain what the photos are of and why you took them. What did you learn from the testing? Evaluation (your opinion) Strengths and weaknesses of process Strengths and weaknesses of product Do you think you’ve met the specification? How and why?
