Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Transfer dimensions from a detail drawing to work
   • Specifications and work requirements are determined and understood using correct and appropriate calculations.
   • Development is carried out to specifications or standard operating procedures using appropriate tools and equipment.
   • Datum points are correctly established and marked appropriate to task requirements.
2. Make templates as required
   • Appropriate template material is chosen.
   • Templates are produced to specification.
   • Correct storage procedures are followed including labelling and identification to standard operating procedures.
3. Develop patterns as required
   • Parallel line, radial line and triangulation development methods are chosen and applied.
   • Allowances for fabrication and assembly are correctly determined and transferred.
4. Interpret relevant codes, standards and symbols
   • Relevant standards/codes and symbols are interpreted.
   • Requirements of standards/codes are interpreted and applied to materials and processes.
5. Estimate quantities of materials from detail drawings
   • Materials are correctly identified.
   • Quantities are estimated from drawings.
   • Material wastage is minimised.

Required Skills

Evidence Required

The evidence guide specifies the evidence required to demonstrate achievement in the unit of competency as a whole It must be read in conjunction with the unit descriptor performance criteria range statement and the assessment guidelines for the Metal and Engineering Training Package
Overview of assessment requirements	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to mark out general fabrications using geometric development Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied
Context of assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate
Interdependent assessment	This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with applying geometric development or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials
Consistency of performance	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts
Required skills	Look for evidence that confirms skills in
	performing geometric calculations
	carrying out geometric development
	establishing datum points
	producing templates to specification
	labelling and storing templates
	developing patterns
	making fabrication and assembly allowances
	determining material and component quantities
	minimising material wastage
Required knowledge	Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of
	specifications of work
	tools and equipment
	development preparation
	datum points
	materials used for the preparation of templates
	manufacturing allowance considerations
	template development labelling identification and storage requirements
	development methods and applications
	fabrication and assembly allowances
	sources of data on fabrication
	relevant standards and codes

Range Statement

The range statement provides information about the context in which the unit of competency is carried out. The variables and scope cater for different work requirements, work practices and knowledge between States, Territories and the Commonwealth, and between organisations and workplaces. The range statement relates to the unit as a whole and provides a focus for assessment. Text in italics in the performance criteria is explained here. The following variables may be present and may include, but are not limited to, the examples listed under the scope. All work is undertaken to relevant legislative requirements, where applicable
Variable	Scope
Template material	Steel plate, perspex, timber, cardboard, paper etc.
Storage procedures	Including labelling, identification, e.g. template lofts
Development methods	Parallel line, radial line and triangulation
Allowances	Thickness, bend, pitch, angle, circumference, perimeter
Standards/codes and symbols	All work carried out in accordance with legislative and regulatory requirements
