1. Manufacturing Technical Objects

2. The Manufacturing Process
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Design
Production
Marketing

3. Step 1: Design Identify a need Analyze the technical problem
Write your specifications
What is the maximum size, mass etc
Prepare a design plan
Prepare a Technical drawing
Manufacture a prototype
Test the prototype: Does it meet specifications?
If not return to step #4 prepare a design plan
Apply for a patent

4. Design Plan
PURPOSE: To provide information on one or more of the operating principals of the object “How does the object work?”
Contains the following:
Name of the parts
Movement of the parts ( see symbols on pg 75)
Operation forces involved (see symbols on pg 75)
Any other useful info needed to understand how the object works
DRAW example from pg 78 of lab book

5. Technical Diagrams
Purpose: To provide info on the selected manufacturing process of the object. “How do you make the object?”
Includes:
Important shapes and dimensions to be considered ( rules on pg 73 in lab book)
Names of parts
Materials to be used
Linking components ( pg 75 OR 410 IN TEXTBOOK)
Guiding controls ( pg 75 OR 410 IN TEXTBOOK))

6. Rules for all types of drawings
Always use appropriate symbols
Follow rules and conventions for dimensioning
Make your drawings the proper size ( choose the right scale pg 68)
Include at the bottom: your name, the date, the title of the drawing and the scale ( refer to pg 74 IN LAB BOOK)
BE neat!

7. Example: A Stapler
Top View
Side View

8. Drawing Views
You need to include dimensions and lines indicating what the stated dimensions refer to
Ex:
You need to label your view
You need to make sure you don’t move the item as you are drawing it too much so that you do not change your perspective
