Design Process

Design Process Guide

Manufacture and realisation

This is where you explain how your product will be put together using 2D and 3D drawings. Your drawings should show information such as the position of holes, fixtures and fittings, joining methods, and any special machining process required. Annotate where needed to describe your methods for manufacture. An exploded drawing of all parts and how they fit together may be useful here.

You can find information on drawing techniques through the useful links page.

Remember, these are the drawings from which you will manufacture your product. Ensure they are accurate and have enough information on production to be able to make it.

LIST OF OPERATIONS
List actions, tools, machines and safety requirements that will be involved in the process of manufacturing your product.
Use sketches / photos to explain any specialist tools / methods.
You can do this in the form of a flowchart to show the sequence of events.
You can make notes and / or take photos at each stage of the making process to aid this.

REALISATION
Make your product! Ensure you document each stage of the making process, making notes and taking photos. This will help to improve and update your list of operations and help to explain to others how to make your product. It will also show any modifications you have made, and will help to improve and update your list of operations.
