reshaping a material into a new form without changing its basic chemical structure

turning old or unwanted materials/products into something useful

thin strands that are the building blocks a of material

Reforming manufacturing processes for timbers

Design and technology

In this unit pupils will develop technical principles knowledge with an explicit focus on exam technique.

Shaping materials again without changing its basic chemical structure is called {{}}.

Turning old or unwanted products into something useful without breaking them down is called {{}}.

reshape a material without altering its chemical structure

creatively resue a product without breaking it down

old material for a new purpose, e.g. construction timber into a bench

place timber pieces inside an empty mould

pour resin into the gaps or around the timber

Order the steps for reforming damaged timber using resin:

the use of recycled materials in production

the use of machines or technology to perform tasks

the process of making products by hand only

small, handcrafted products made by a single person

large-scale production using machinery and technology

What does 'industrial' typically refer to in manufacturing?

it can maintain its shape under normal conditions without breaking.

it can resist environmental changes like temperature and moisture.

the cost-effectiveness of building a structure.

What does 'structural integrity' refer to in materials and structures?

they are always made from recycled materials

they're easier to transport, store, and use in different manufacturing processes

they don't require specialised tools to work with

What is one main benefit of using standard stock forms in manufacturing?

Which group includes only natural materials?
