Just general volume production.

I feel like I got full marks in the design and development questions, but didn't do so well in the later parts.
I hope everything averages to an A*...
I feel like I got 7/9 marks in first one.
6/6 in second one
8/11 in third one.

In section B I feel as if I may have only lost 15 marks or less.
Very good exam :smile:
My section b was good I didn't really find anything that hard tbh. Probably ony lost a few marks here or there on the big ones most likely and my design section was good as well. Overall really happy with that exam and hopefully will get A*
I think that was a really good exam! For the sustainability question were you meant to talk about the materials or the specific crutches?

i talked about the material and if they were nonrenable or not. and i put about how much energy it took to make them

Yeah that's also what I said! I talked about how metal can be melted down and reused, plastic is made of crude oil and bad, but can be biodegradable and wood can be pulped and is sustainable because you can plant it

Same! what did you think to the question about volume production! i didnt know what it was, so i made it up ! for the advantages i put : quick as its continuous, makes money and that it runs all the time. The disadvantages : costs a lot, job loss and uses lots of energy.

Hopefully i got i right !
I said about greater surface area so more collisions between the particles for the spoons one so it is good.

Is that ok

No offence Bro, but this ain't chemistry.

Oh i thought it was valid though. :frown:
A greater surface area so it can carry more contents too??
Melamine Formaldehyde is a thermosetting plastic so it shouldn't deform with heat. It's also pretty strong and durable and - as shown by the photo - can be coloured for aesthetics.

At least that's what I thought.

All valid reasons, I put that it has a smooth surface finish (like all plastics) so wont injure the user when they put it into their mouth, is that fine?

Can I say that Melamine is easy to clean?

I thought the question said something about 'adv and disadvs of industrial processes in volume production', or it might just be me...

So where you meant to talk about continuous production as a whole or processes within continuous production?

I pretty much said the same!! It was 6 marks so I made 3 points and explained them, I think I said job loss, higher accuracy and more profit? What did you say for the 8 marker about the chairs?
