L2 U6 Application of Manufacturing Techniques in Engineering

Approach given here is formed by following the awarding bodies:

Learning outcomes

Assessment tasks

Production team – work together to organise and manufacture components (LO.1)

Production planning – plan and schedule for manufacturing (LO.2)

CNC machining – set up and use tools and CNC equipment to process materials (LO.3)

Quality control – apply appropriate techniques and interpret quality data (LO.4)

Learning outcomes:

Delivery and assessment approach:

An example of a scheme of work is provided that enables students to acquire the knowledge and skills to complete the assessed tasks

It refers to: Assignments in LJ modules Use of CNC machines Student textbook Internet sites Ideas for visits LJ support documents

LJ support documents include:

Example engineering drawings Example production plan Sample statistical data Documents to support the golf

tee project assessment tasks Next >

Delivery and assessment approach:

Next >

The scheme of work refers to the use of a CNC machine

The scheme also refers to the use of the ST350 injection moulding machine

The CNC machine is used to manufacture a mould …

… and the mould is used to manufacture plastic golf tees

P7774/B

Delivery and assessment approach:

Assessment brief and tasks are provided

The student is to collect evidence during the assessed tasks, by producing:

Minutes of meetings

Engineering drawings

Production plan

Production schedule

Quality control data

System photographs

Documents to support the golf tee project assessment tasks are included

ALTERNATIVE – IF STUDENTS DO NOT MAKE THEIR OWN INSERT

3D stl files to be imported into the 3D CNC software package for creation of the CNC machine code.

These files can also be opened for viewing in a 3D CAD software drawing package.

(stl = stereolithography format)

Alternative approach

2D dxf file can be imported into the CNC software package to create the CNC machine code. Note, depth details will need to be added manually.

The file can also be opened for viewing in a 2D CAD software drawing package.

(dxf = drawing exchange format)
