Mass production of products

Design and technology

Use of equipment that may require supervision for safety, eg. scissors, needles, paint, knives

A prototype is a finish you give to materials.

A prototype is a template used to ensure consistency in manufacture.

A prototype is when you make products in large groups.

True or false, mass production is a production method where products are made in large quantities, for example mobile phones?

Cardboard is a great material to model with because it is easy to cut.

Die cutting is a process that uses a laser beam to cut out 2d shapes.

Laser cutting is a process that uses a knife to cut out 2d shapes.

Mass production is producing products in specific groups.

Mood boards are used to calculate the weight of a product.

Mood boards are used to gauge scale in a drawing.

Mood boards are used to inspire design ideas.

Mood boards are used to work out the environmental impact of a product.

A full scale model allows you to interact with the product to see what it will really be like.

A full scale model is always cheaper to make than a smaller scaled model.

A full scale model uses less materials which saves money.

A full scale model uses lots of material which is good for the environment.

This is a full scaled model of a measuring tape.  What are the advantages of modelling in full scale?
