a change in the shape of materials when they are put under physical pressure or stress

a push or pull that can affect the movement, direction, or shape of an object

a solid object that a material is manipulated around to create a specific shape

Deforming manufacturing processes for textiles

Design and technology

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

Shaping materials using a force is called {{}}.

the use of recycled materials in production

the use of machines or technology to perform tasks

the process of making products by hand only

A solid object that a material is manipulated around to create a specific shape is called a {{}}.

fabric is folded into even sections and often heat- or stitch-set

fabric is sewn with parallel lines and pulled to create bunching

multiple rows of gathered stitching for texture and decoration

decorative stitching is added to gathered fabric to create stretch

wet fabric (often felt) is shaped over a former and dried

Match the process to its correct definition:

remove the felt from the former and trim excess

Put the steps of the felt blocking process into the correct order.

Put these materials in order from most flexible to least flexible.

Which of the following is a working/mechanical property of a material?

small, handcrafted products made by a single person

large-scale production using machinery and technology

What does 'industrial' typically refer to in manufacturing?

Machine tools make production faster and more consistent than hand tools.

The ability of a material to resist breaking when a force is applied is called {{}}.

Match each material with its primary working/mechanical property:
