A mobile phone casing is designed to be 75mm wide and has a manufacturing tolerance of +/- 0.5mm. Which mobile casing would be rejected?
75mm
75.5mm
76mm
74.8mm
Why do tolerances help manage production costs
Tolerances stop products from being made incorrectly
The more accurate a product needs to be the more expensive it is to produce. Tolerances compensate for this
Tolerances don't allow for variation in the size of a product
It adds more cost to a product to make it with a large tolerance
What scale of manufacturing is likely to be used for this product?
mass
batch
one off
just in time

Product Analysis
Writing a design brief
During the optimise phase of the design process the designer will produce a model or mock up to see what the product will look like - this is known as?
Sketching
Prototyping
Product Analysis
Writing a design brief
An advantage of using CAD modelling over physical prototyping is.....
The design can be emailed to the client for comment
You can see what the product will look like
