Dylunio Cynnyrch

Cymhwyster: TGAU             

Bwrdd Arholi: CBAC

Dylunio Cynnyrch 

Beth fydda i’n ei ddysgu?

Byddi di’n dysgu sut mae cynhyrchion yn cael eu dylunio, eu profi a’u gwneud drwy ddefnyddio ystod o dechnegau, deunyddiau a phrosesau gweithgynhyrchu. Bydd y cwrs yn dy alluogi i wneud y canlynol:

• Deall sut mae dylunio modern yn ymateb i anghenion defnyddwyr, marchnadoedd a chymdeithas

• Archwilio syniadau dylunio cyfoes ac ysbrydoliaeth gan ddiwylliant, hanes a datblygiadau technolegol

• Astudio nodweddion a phriodweddau deunyddiau — metelau, coed naturiol a gweithgynhyrchiedig, a phlastigion thermosodli/thermofurfiadwy

• Deall deunyddiau modern a chlyfar (smart materials), technolegau sy’n dod i’r amlwg, a’u defnydd mewn cynnyrch

• Datblygu sgiliau dylunio iterus: profi, mireinio a gwella syniadau

• Cynhyrchu cynnyrch prototeip o ansawdd uchel sy’n ateb problem go iawn

Sut fydda i'n dysgu?

Bydd y dysgu’n cyfuno:

• Gweithio’n ymarferol gyda deunyddiau gwahanol a pheiriannau (e.e. torrwr laser, argraffydd 3D, dril colofn)

• Defnyddio CAD/CAM i greu modelau digidol, efelychiadau a thechnigau gweithgynhyrchu modern

• Dadansoddi cynnyrch go iawn i ddeall pam a sut maent wedi’u gwneud

• Gweithio dan broses ddylunio iterus (iterative design): cynllunio, profi, gwerthuso, gwella

• Cymryd rhan mewn ymchwil, cyfweliadau defnyddwyr a datrys problemau creadigol

• Defnyddio diagramau, brasluniau, modelau & gwaith ymarferol

Bydd yr holl adnoddau’n cael eu darparu drwy Google Classroom a bydd dy Chromebook yn allweddol ar gyfer CAD, ymchwil a chynllunio.

Oes angen offer arnaf fi?

Fel arfer, dim ond:

• Dy gyfrwng ysgrifennu

• Dy lyfr gwaith neu bortffolio

• Dy Chromebook ar gyfer CAD/CAM a Google Classroom

• Defnydd o’r gweithdy a’r offer priodol pan fo angen

Nid oes angen offer arbenigol ychwanegol, a bydd yr ysgol yn darparu’r rhan fwyaf o adnoddau gweithdy.

Sut fydda i’n cael fy asesu?

Dyma’r newid mawr i’r cymhwyster gyda’r ADR (asesiad dan reolaeth yr athro yn y dosbarth) nawr werth 70%!

Uned 1: Dylunio a Thechnoleg yn yr 21ain Ganrif

• Arholiad digidol: 1 awr 30 munud

• 30% o’r cymhwyster

• Asesu gwybodaeth am ddylunio, deunyddiau, technolegau modern a ffactorau dylunio ehangach

Uned 2: Prosiect Dylunio (ADR)

• Tasg ddylunio a gwneud sylweddol: tua 40 awr

• 70% o’r cymhwyster

• Creu prototeip sy’n ymateb i her gyd-destunol a osodir gan CBAC

• Yn cynnwys ymchwil, briff, manyleb, dylunio, gwneud a gwerthuso

Beth yw’r cam nesaf ar ôl y cwrs hwn?

Mae’r cwrs yn sail ragorol i:

• Safon Uwch Dylunio a Thechnoleg (Dylunio Cynnyrch)

• Peirianneg, pensaernïaeth, dylunio cynnyrch, dylunio graffig, prototeipio digidol neu brentisiaethau technegol

• Cyrsiau pwnc mewn prifysgolion a cholegau, neu lwybrau galwedigaethol mewn dylunio a gweithgynhyrchu

Mae’r cymhwyster hefyd yn datblygu sgiliau creadigrwydd, datrys problemau ac arloesedd; sgiliau sy’n werthfawr ym mhob maes.

Syniadau am swyddi…

Mae Dylunio Cynnyrch yn agor y drws i ystod eang o yrfaoedd megis:

• Unrhyw faes Peirianneg 

• Dylunydd cynnyrch

• Peiriannydd dylunio / datblygu

• Technegydd gweithgynhyrchu

• Modelydd 3D neu dechnegydd CAD

• Dylunydd defnyddiwr / UX / UI

• Pensaer / dylunydd pensaernïol

• Dylunio dodrefn, electroneg, pecynnu neu gynnyrch defnyddiwr

Mae’r sgiliau’n berthnasol i ddiwydiannau lleol, cenedlaethol a rhyngwladol.

Qualification: GCSE             

Examination Board: WJEC

What will I learn?

You will learn how products are designed, tested, and made using a wide range of techniques, materials and manufacturing processes. The course will help you to:

• Understand how modern design responds to the needs of users, markets and society

• Explore contemporary design ideas and take inspiration from culture, history and technological developments

• Study the characteristics and properties of materials — metals, natural and manufactured timbers, and thermosetting/thermoforming plastics

• Understand modern and smart materials, emerging technologies and how they are used in product development

• Develop iterative design skills: testing, refining and improving ideas

• Produce a high‑quality prototype that solves a real problem

How will I learn?

Your learning will include:

• Practical work using a wide range of materials and workshop machinery (e.g. laser cutter, 3D printer, pillar drill)

• Using CAD/CAM to create digital models, simulations and modern manufacturing techniques

• Analysing real products to understand how and why they were made

• Working through an iterative design process: planning, testing, evaluating, improving

• Taking part in research, user interviews and creative problem‑solving tasks

• Using diagrams, sketches, models and practical work as design tools

All resources will be provided through Google Classroom, and your Chromebook will be essential for CAD, research and planning.

Do I need any equipment?

Usually you just need:

• Your usual writing equipment

• Your workbook or portfolio

• Your Chromebook for CAD/CAM and Google Classroom

• Access to the workshop and appropriate tools when needed

No additional specialist equipment is required — the school provides most workshop resources.
