Re: DT Product Design EXAM 25th May[QUOTE=kirsty27;37765800]What did everyone say for the question asking why we combine materials? It was 6 marks and asked for examples, i only got two points when three were needed!
I wrote about alloys; how you combine them to improve their individual properties. -

Re: DT Product Design EXAM 25th MayThat's really good! I wrote the wrong thing.. I wrote about shops and stuff in their daily life instead of daily enviroment.. WHOOPS(Original post by Antisocialite)
- an automated control which allows the user to move around without using much strength;
- an elevating function which lets the user raise/lower the chair so they're able to reach items/sit at higher/lower tables/counters;
- something about the wheels which I forgot but it allows the user to turn corners with ease.
BTW, Did anyone else struggle with the Knock Down Fittings thing and Flat Pack furniture..? -

I put an example of copper and zinc makes brass and how it mixing materials makes them stronger by combining the useful attributes to produce a better material.. like I said, I waffled. -

That what i wrote too, wrote about making new materials too like smart materials,just thought could've said about starch based polymers like spud forks so it combining materials is good for the environment, damn
