• Worked calculations and comparison examples
• Safe product disassembly procedures
• Sequence diagrams, tools and instruments
• Hazard identification and safety precautions
• Analysing components, materials and assembly
• Production and manufacturing methods
• Product maintenance considerations

Topic Area 2 – Modelling (42 Marks)

• Virtual modelling using 3D CAD
• Computer simulations and stress analysis
• Physical modelling using sheet and block materials
• 3D printing methods and materials
• Selecting appropriate modelling tools
• Production planning and task sequencing
• Gantt charts, task lists and work plans
• Risk assessments and safe working practices
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Prototype manufacture and photographic diaries
• Prototype testing and evaluation
• Justifying improvements to engineering designs

Assessment and practical support includes:
