7. Investigating/Generating Ideas Investigate the design brief. Clarify the problem. Note expectations about solution Explore issues about the problem. Investigate ideas for solutions. Find information about ideas. Summarize your findings. Investigating/Generating Ideas Investigate the design brief. Clarify the problem. Note expectations about solution Explore issues about the problem. Investigate ideas for solutions. Find information about ideas. Summarize your findings. Evaluating Think about the outcome. Does it meet the design brief? How well does it work? Could it be improved? What remains to be done? Finalize your documentation. Evaluating Think about the outcome. Does it meet the design brief? How well does it work? Could it be improved? What remains to be done? Finalize your documentation. Planning Identify the most likely idea. Develop and refine the idea. Plan the proposed solution. Model or trial the proposal Prepare cutting/costing lists. Identify requirements or functions Summarize your planning Planning Identify the most likely idea. Develop and refine the idea. Plan the proposed solution. Model or trial the proposal Prepare cutting/costing lists. Identify requirements or functions Summarize your planning Manufacturing Creating the solution can involve any ‘making’ activity. Build and test a prototype. Implement a decision. Construct, establish, build, etc. Repair tasks if needed. Flowchart the functions/operations. Program and test the functions/operations. Evaluate and document often.

The Design Cycle This diagram illustrates the necessary stages to be followed in any problem solving activity. Study it now before starting your project. Ask questions about it and discuss any points that are not clear. Refer to it often as you progress through the stages of your project completion. The large arrows indicate the main direction of activities in the process. The small arrows indicate the usual and expected movement backwards and forwards between the stages.

18. DESIGNING VALIDATING ASSEMBLIES IN COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN CAD prototypes are a critical step in developing a concept to a final manufactured product design. They enable the student to validate the construction through the creation of a 3D assembly comprising of all the individual components of the design. Each CAD component is then used as the information required to produce a 2D toolpath to drive a laser or CNC machine and manufacture part. The process of navigating from CAD to a laser or CNC machine involves producing the profile in a format that can be interpreted by the CAM software. The format is a standard called Drawing Exchange Format or DXF.
