Elements and Performance Criteria
- Determine model and prototype requirements
- Workplace requirements for the development of conceptual models and prototypes are confirmed
- Instructions and plans are interpreted to identify processes and materials needed to undertake the work
- Client requirements for model and prototype are confirmed with relevant personnel
- Approval is sought for the proposed development or modifications to conceptual model and prototype
- Plan model and prototype-making activities
- Steps involved in the development or modification of the model and prototype are identified
- Fabrication and machining processes and instructions are determined
- Timetable, resource requirements, personnel, and purchase and supply schedule are confirmed
- Approved plan is communicated to relevant personnel
- Prepare tools and equipment
- Produce conceptual model and prototype
- Test and modify model and prototype
- Model and prototypes are tested and checked against project objectives, design specifications and workplace standards
