Unit Summary
Pupils learn about biomimicry and innovation. They will learn how to use sources of inspiration to create a range of ideas for a product encouraging children to grow vegetables. The pupils will develop ideas and manufacture a prototype. Variation allows for different material outcomes.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to use CAD/CAM safely to manufacture designs.
Key Notes
- 2-dimensional computer-aided design can be used to design accurately for manufacture.
- Laser cutting is a form of computer-aided manufacture.
- Laser cutters can be used to cut paper and board.
Vocabulary To Learn
- CAD: computer-aided design
- CAM: computer-aided manufacture
- net: the flat or opened out shape of an object such as a box
