Title: Product Design
1Product Design
- Lesson objective to be able to identify key
reasons why products have evolved over time
2Questions
- Why do you think designers improve products?
- If I said continuous improvement would you know
what this means? - Can you name several factors that have helped to
improve products?
Lesson objective - to be able to identify key
reasons why products have evolved over time
3Years of development and innovation has
culminated in the modern world we know as today
- Manufacturing has improved
- Selection of materials
- The way society has changed and the market need
for goods has determined the changes
Lesson objective - to be able to identify key
reasons why products have evolved over time
4Task 1 write up notes One off prototype
- A full size see-saw prototype. Creating a one-off
prototype can speed up the design process and
avoid pitfalls later in production.
1100 scale car patterns ready for casting
5Task 2 find out what this means - Bespoke
Somerset Furniture Designer Penny Price offers a
bespoke furniture design service throughout the
Somerset area, below is an example of some of the
bespoke furniture made by Penny Price.

6Task 3 write down notes from this slide - Batch
production
- Sometimes batch production is necessary when a
manufacturer is producing similar things, but
with variants. - For instance, if you manufacture two colours of
the same shoe, you probably use batch production.
- Any dyeing of leather or fabric cant apply to
the whole set of shoes you want to manufacture,
since theyre different colours. - This can mean stopping in between each batch to
change or clean machines, or prepare to add new
dyes for the next variation.
7Improving our standard of living
- Manufacturing has created a mass-production
market - What do you think mass production means?
Lesson objective - to be able to identify key
reasons why products have evolved over time
8mass-production market task 4 write down notes
The production of large quantities of a
standardized article (often using assembly line
techniques)
9Write this down - Developments in technology have
affected materials and manufacturing. New
materials have been produced, and the way we make
products has changed
- Social factors have an impact on the products we
use - Products for a greener future are also being
developed because of market demand
10People demand continuous improvement
