Criterion F is where you propose your choices on how to produce your solution commercially. You will need to incorporate your knowledge and understanding of Materials (Topic 4) and Commercial Production (Topic 10). It's recommended to work on E and F together, in particular, E1 (Design Modifications) ties well with both F1 (Material Selection) and F2 (Manufacturing Process).

You are constrained by your page number limit, so try to keep within the guidelines given:
F1: Justifies the choice of materials and components appropriate for commercial production.
0.5 Page
F1 = Table showing the Parts, Part Numbers, Material Description and Justification (Use images)
F1 = Table showing the Parts, Part Numbers, Material Description and Justification (Use images)
F1 = About 1 - 1.5 pages
F1 = Avoid extended writing 350 words max.

Review Topic 4: Final Production and Topic 10: Commercial Production. Identify the materials and processes that you intend to use.
Identify the details and evidence to support your choices. Some questions you might ask are:
What mechanical and physical properties make this the ideal material or component?
How available and cost-effective is this material?
How sustainable is the material, and where does this fit with the overall design goals.
Can you use an LCA to identify and justify one material choice over another?
How does this material match with the production methods (F2)?
Present this analysis and justification in the form of a Table organized into the following columns:
Part number
Part/Material description: include images if necessary
Justification: Make reference here to the reasons

Review Topic 4 and Topic 10, especially the areas relevant to your design and scale of production. Identify the materials and processes that you intend to use.
In this section, you should be justifying why the chosen materials and components are ideal. You could make reference to cost, availability, suitability to the manufacturing process, environmental considerations, etc.
Avoid long descriptions of the physical and mechanical properties of materials. Only discuss properties that are relevant to the design context.

In this section, you should be justifying why the chosen processes are ideal. You could make reference to cost, availability, suitability to materials, environmental considerations, etc.
Draw upon your knowledge from Topic 4: Final Production and Topic 10: Commercial Production to guide and justify your choices.
Hints: Work on E1, F1 and F2 together, as design modifications and material choices will be closely related to the choice of certain manufacturing processes.
F3: Justifies an appropriate scale and volume of production, based on appropriate research and suitability for the product.
F3 = Identify the market segment and discuss the intended market size. Includes writing with support images, data, or charts to justify.
F3 = Identification of the scale and volume of production and a justification of why this is appropriate. Identify any challenges or benefits that this scale might meet.
