Conceptual Understanding: Designers sometimes engineer products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. Design for manufacture (DfM) exists in almost all engineering disciplines, but differs greatly depending on the manufacturing technologies used. This practice not only focuses on the design of a product’s components, but also on quality control and assurance.
Additive techniques: Manufacturing techniques that add material in order to create it.
Paper-based rapid prototyping: Often the first step in a rapid prototyping process, paper prototyping is widely used in UCD for designing and testing interfaces.
Laminated object manufacture (LOM): A rapid prototyping systems that creates a 3D product by converting it into slices, cutting the slices out and joining the slices together.
Stereolithography: A modelling technique that creates 3D models layer-by-layer by either manipulating polymers with light/ heat or cutting material with lasers or blades.
Wasting/subtractive techniques: Manufacturing techniques that cut away material in order to create a component.
Cutting: divide into pieces with a sharp implement.
Drilling - Helical Cutting Wedges
Chiseling - Cutting Wedge
Sawing - Toothed Blades
Planing - Cutting Wedge gliding
Boring - Widen an existing hole
Laser cutting - Light or Heat
Machining: The process of removing material from a workpiece using power-driven machine tools to shape it into an intended design.
CNC Router
CNC Milling machine
Little Treat
Turning: used to create rotational parts by cutting away unwanted material.
Wood Lathe
Metal Lathe
CNC Lathe
Abrading: scrape or wear away by friction
Filing
Sanding with John Z
Grrinding
Shaping techniques: Manufacturing methods for modifying the shape of a material.
Shaping techniques: Moulding (Injection moulding)
Shaping techniques: Moulding (Extrusion)
Shaping techniques: Thermoforming (Vacuum forming)
Shaping techniques: Thermoforming (Strip heater / Line Bending / Convection Oven)
Shaping techniques: Laminating (Flexi-plywood by gluing layers together over a former/shaped mould)
Shaping techniques: Casting (Sand casting)
Shaping techniques: Casting (Die casting)
Shaping techniques: Knitting: A method for converting a yarn into fabric by creating consecutive rows of interlocking loops of yarn.
Shaping techniques: Weaving: The act of forming a sheet like material by interlacing long threads passing in one direction with others at a right angle to them.
Joining techniques: Methods that are used to join two similar or dissimilar materials together.
Joining techniques: Permanent- Welding / Fusing
Joining techniques: Permanent- Brazing / Soldering
Joining techniques: Permanent- Pop/ Cold/ Hot riveting
Joining techniques: Temporary (non-permanent fastening)
Fastening or joining materials mechanically through the use of screws, rivets, bolts, pins, clips, nails, press studs and snaps. The advantage of this technique is the ease for disassembly at the expense of permanent damage to the materials used eg. installing screws
Adhering- Gluing
An adhesive is a substance that is applied between two surfaces in order to bond them together.
Adhesives may come from either natural or synthetic sources. Some modern adhesives are extremely strong, and are becoming increasingly important in modern construction and industry. Usually once formed, cannot easily be separated
