Describing Line Bending Process

I would like to know how in the exam (I'm currently doing second year of Product Design, A2) I am meant to correctly describe the process of Line Bending. Are there any specific steps?

That's a strange one to get you to describe because it's such a simple short process!

All you need to do is heat up the strip heater, put your thermoplastic underneath (with the part you want it to bend at under the heated wire), heat it for about 2 minutes, remove it by the cool part and bend at the line

Here's a youtube video that might help you, personally for any process i always find videos much easier to understand and visualise than just reading from a text
