    Study Notes

    Design Technology

    • Aesthetic: The appearance of a product, considering how it looks and its visual appeal.

    User and Environmental Factors

    • Customer: Who the product is intended for, considering their needs and preferences.
    • Environmental: The impact of the product on the environment, considering sustainability and eco-friendness.
    • Safety: The risk of injury or harm when using the product, ensuring it is safe for users.
    • Cost: The price of the product, considering production costs and customer affordability.
    • Size: The dimensions of the product, ensuring it fits its intended purpose.

    CAD and CAM

    • CAD (Computer Aided Design): Software used for design and prototyping.
      • Advantages: Quicker production, digital sharing, collaborative work, easier mistake correction, and copy/paste functionality.
      • Disadvantages: Cost of software, training costs, computer hacking, and power loss.
    • CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture): Hardware used for manufacturing.
      • Advantages: Quicker production, identical products, and 24/7 operation.
      • Disadvantages: Cost of machines, setup costs, training costs, machine breakdown, and downtime.

    Classification of Woods

    • Natural woods:
      • Hardwood/Deciduous: Examples include broadleaf trees.
      • Softwood/Evergreen: Examples include evergreen trees.
    • Man-made/Manufactured Wood:
      • Examples: Plywoods, Fibre Boards, Particle Boards, MDF, plywood, blockboard, chipboard, laminboard, and battenboard.

    Tools and their Function

    • Coping saw: Cuts intricate shapes.
    • File: Flattens wooden surfaces and removes dowels and small pieces.
    • Tenon saw: Makes deep accurate cuts and fast straight cuts without binding.
    • Glasspaper: Smooths surfaces and wears relatively quickly.
    • Marking gauge: Easily marks out lines for cutting.

    Fixtures and Fittings

    • Nut and bolt:
    • Rivet:
    • Screw:
    • Nail:

    Fonts

    • Arial
    • Cinzel
    • Comic Sans MS
    • Lobster
    • Caveat

    Prototyping

    • A prototype is a first version of a product to test ideas until it resembles the final product.
    • Advantages: Allows for visualization and changes before production.
    • Disadvantages: Can be costly and may not meet customer expectations.

    Safety Rules in the Workshop

    • Wear goggles
    • Wear an apron
    • Follow teacher's guidance
    • Use hand tools carefully
    • Keep hands away from machines
    • No running
    • Tied back hair

    Adhesive Types

    • PVA: A non-toxic, water-based wood glue.
    • Hot Glue Gun: Bonds woods, plastic, paper, and cards.
    • Super Glue: Forms strong bonds quickly.
    • 2-part Epoxy glue: Bonds a wide range of substances like metal, glass, and wood.
    • Tensol cement: Gives off dangerous fumes, must be used outside with caution.
    • Contact Adhesive: Must be used outside, with materials prepared 20 minutes before gluing.
    • Glue stick: Used on paper or soft materials.

    Card Classification

    • Thin card: 2-sheet, 200 micron, 150-160gsm
    • Flexible card: 3-sheet, 230 micron, 170-180gsm
    • Medium card: 280-300 microns, 210-240gsm or 350-380 microns, 270-290gsm
