Breaking it down into 3 sections, C1 would be all about the materials and manufacturing. Take your proposal completely apart, a tough job to do. What is each part made from and how are they made? The next stage C2 is the communication of your proposal. Imagine you're outsourcing the production, you'd send your plans to a factory to have them made. If your dimension is wrong it'll be made wrong. You want all the details to accurate and communicated, leaving nothing to the imagination of the cost saving factory manager. C3 completes the criterion, you'll need to think like the manufacturer for this, again a very complex task. You'll want to communicate a detailed, time and cost effective method of manufacture for your proposal.

You are constrained by your page number limit, so try to keep within the guidelines given:
C1: Justification of Materials, Components and Manufacturing
C1 = Justifies the choice of appropriate materials, components and manufacturing techniques to make the prototype
C1 = Justifies the choice of appropriate materials, components and manufacturing techniques to make the prototype
C1 = About 3 - 4 pages
C1 = Maximum of 400 words (split between the Materials and processes)
C1 = Is not a researching and investigation area.
Justifies
Justifies
All decisions are explicitly linked to the proposals, feedback and research gathered in Criterion A and B.
Knowledge from Topic 4 is linked
Considerations may come from Topics 2 and 10 may also be present
Nothing is unfounded within your statements
You will not need to test in this section as you have already done so in Criterion B
Choice
Choice
Materials, Processes are viable options for manufacture in school or can be outsourced by the contacts you have. (Outlined in B1)
Costs, budgetary and environmental are considered
Specific names are used
Correct terminology is used
Your choices will be determined by your specifications and user needs
You will need to source standardised components, these need to be listed, costed and located
Prototype
Prototype
You will need to aim to manufacture a fully working prototype
The prototype needs to be to scale so that it can effectively be tested
The prototype will need to be primarily evaluated against it's functionality and suitability to the situation posed in Crit A. Not evaluated against the quality of build.
How to Layout: Group your components with reference to their shared manufacturing process. List / Label the parts, state the material choice, state the associated manufacturing process and justify. Tabulating this will assist in your organisation.
C2: Design Proposal
C2 = Develop an accurate design proposal in sufficient detail for a third party to manufacture the prototype.
C2 = Is a collection of well presented and highly detailed working drawings to a recognised standard.
C2 = Is a collection of well presented and highly detailed working drawings to a recognised standard.
C2 = Is about accurate graphical communication.
C2 = Is about accurate graphical communication.
Accurate

Use CAD (best) to demonstrate what the product looks like and how it fits together
Include all details on dimensions, materials and standardised components
Use hidden detailing features to show information
Go into the finer details, this includes the nut and bolts, literally
Ideally, all annotation and details should be done through the CAD package, avoid post processing in pages and text boxes.
Directions of grain are important
Sufficient
Sufficient
Include Isometric assembly drawings
Include 3rd Angle Orthographic Projections
Include Sectional working drawings
Include Perspective if you haven't already in Criterion B
Separate but label your subassemblies clearly and link back to the larger drawings
Include a complete BOM complete with $
Dimension everything once
Include Circuit Diagrams if needed
Include anchoring points if needed
Manufacture
Manufacture
Use all the data collected to guide your design decisions, don't just collect data for fun
You'll need to show an evolution of your design
C3: Manufacturing Plan
C3 = Produce a detailed plan for the manufacture of the prototype.
C3 = 2 pages of tabulated text.
C3 = 2 pages of tabulated text.
C3 = Includes details on the manufacture and also the risks associated.

Sequence is key
Think critically about the timing of processes (what can you do whilst the glue dries)
How will account for tolerance?
What are the risk factor associated with the process?
How will you mitigate the risks?
Laying up to save space and material
Thinking about timing included, setup, clean up.
How will you ensure Quality Control?

The student:
Describes some appropriate materials, components and manufacturing techniques to make the prototype
Develops a design proposal that includes most details necessary for a third party to manufacture the prototype
Produces a plan for the manufacture of the prototype.
