If its dt: product design you need to know;

Section A: Materials and Components
natural woods, man made board, veners and laminates, ferrous metals, alloys, polymers, Biodegradable’ polymers, Elastomers, Composites, Compliant materials, smart materials, modern materials, Product components and adhesive.


Section B: Design and Market Influences
Environmental/Sustainability Issues, Ergonomics and anthropometrics, Inclusive Design, Consumer Safety
Section C: Processes and Manufacture
Fabrication methods:Woods; Traditional joining methods including: mortise and tenon, dowel, dovetail and comb Knock Down Fittings and fastenings
Metals;Permanent joining methods such as: soldering, brazing, riveting, welding (including oxy-acetylene, MIG and spot) Temporary joining methods such as self-tapping screws, machine screws, nut and bolt
Plastics; Permanent joining methods including plastic welding and bonding with adhesives
Forming methods:
Woods; Techniques including steam bending and laminating Metals
Techniques including: press forming, cupping and deep drawing, drop forging and wrought iron forging techniques


Plastics; Techniques including: vacuum forming, thermoforming and line bending
Composites Lay-up’ resin techniques, laminating, casting including: concrete and resin
Redistribution methods. Casting (including: sand, die and investment) Extrusion techniques to manufacture bar and profiles
