I made this PDF resource specifically for the AS (unit 1) and A2 (Unit 3) Product Design exams. The resource includes the vital topics I selected condensed into 14 A4 pages. I have printed this resource and given it to my Year 13 and 12 groups who are completing the AQA exam board but this is also extremely beneficial to EDEXCEL and OCR. The resource includes the following topics with video URL's included which explain specific topics and processes: Metals Revision Properties of Metals Joining Processes, Welding, Soldering. Sand-Casting Die Casting Finishes to Metals Plastics revision Additives Plastic processes-Injection Moulding, Compression Moulding, Blow Moulding, Extrusion Moulding, Calendering Composites Packaging- Functions, die cutting, Blister Packaging Packaging Symbols Sustainability in Design Smart Materials CAD/CAM/CIM/JIT Quality assurance/Quality Control Anthropometrics and Ergonomics Inclusive Design Technology Push and Market Pull Design and Society Prototyping Drawing techniques Legislation: sustainability and Patents Design Movements I hope you find this useful!

I made this PDF resource specifically for the GCSE Product Design exam. The resource includes the vital topics I selected condensed into 14 A4 pages. I have printed this resource and given it to my Year 11 group who are completing the AQA exam board but this is also extremely beneficial to EDEXCEL and OCR. The resource opens with 10 useful tips on how to be successful in the exam. I then cover a lot of packaging as "Charitable Collection Boxes" is the 2016 preliminary Material.
