QUESTION 1 The design process step 3 is referred to as the
make stage. It is important to plan for this stage. Planning
includes those activities which are involved when working out,
in advance, how a product, process or system is to be produced
or realised before actually doing it. Make notes regarding the
materials needed by finding answers to the following questions:
a. What different types of material are needed? (2) b. What
should the quality of the different materials be? (2) c. What are
the sizes of the available raw materials? (3) d. Will the different
materials have to be cut to size? (5) e. Will the different
materials have to be shaped? (5) f. What does the final finish of
the product or prototype have to be? (3) [20]
To effectively plan for the "make" stage of the design process,
the materials needed for producing the product or system must
be considered. Below are the points for each of the questions,
providing key insights into the materials needed:
a. What different types of material are needed? (2 Marks)
• Variety of materials: Identify all the materials required
based on the product’s design. This may include:
1. Primary materials: Metals, plastics, wood,
composites, or fabrics based on the design
specifications.
, 2. Supplementary materials: Adhesives, coatings, or
fasteners needed for assembly or finishing.
b. What should the quality of the different materials be? (2
Marks)
• Material quality: The quality of materials should meet the
design specifications and durability required for the
product. High-quality materials will:
1. Ensure longevity and resistance to wear and
environmental conditions.
2. Comply with industry standards or certifications,
depending on the product’s purpose (e.g., food-grade
materials for kitchenware or safety-certified materials
for construction).
c. What are the sizes of the available raw materials? (3
Marks)
• Material sizes: Determine the standard sizes in which the
raw materials are supplied. This may vary based on the
type of material:
1. Sheets and panels (e.g., plywood, metal sheets):
Common sizes such as 4ft x 8ft or 6ft x 12ft.
2. Bars, pipes, and rods: Available in varying diameters
and lengths, such as 1m, 3m, or 6m.
3. Fabric rolls: Typically available in widths of 1-2
meters and lengths up to 100 meters.
d. Will the different materials have to be cut to size? (5
Marks)
