Students identify a design opportunity, analyse existing products and their manufacturing methods, and produce a design brief that outlines user needs and product requirements.
Criterion A teacher notes and task guidance will be added here.
Students develop a design specification, generate multiple concept sketches, and refine a chosen design into detailed orthographic or CAD drawings ready for modelling.
Criterion B teacher notes and task guidance will be added here.
Students build the 3D model in CAD software, document the modelling process, demonstrate iterative refinement, and produce renders or technical drawings of the final model.
Criterion C teacher notes and task guidance will be added here.
Students evaluate the virtual model against the design specification, reflect on their CAD skills and design decisions, gather feedback, and propose improvements.
Criterion D teacher notes and task guidance will be added here.
Reference links and resources for this unit will be added here.
