Detailed development of a commercial product

New requirements for 2020

Criterion E is the re-design of your prototype for commercial production. The focus here is to use your research and feedback from Criteria C and D to develop the design so that it can be produced commercially. The focus, essentially, is to develop a set of technical drawings that another person could follow for production.

The design you develop here should clearly show how it has been modified for commercial production.

In this part of the IA, you should be using your knowledge of materials and processes (Topic 4), and commercial production (Topic 10)

Develops the design, addressing the required modifications for a commercially viable production process

five A4 page (or equivalent)

Students must not include any extended writing to address this strand.

The only required evidence for this strand are:

drawings/modelling of ideas annotated* to show the required modifications

annotations highlighting additional research and/or feedback enabling iterative development.

In this section, you should be considering how the design will be modified for commercial production. For example, if it is going to be injection molded instead of 3D printed, you might consider how the design will be molded and what features of the design would need to be changed in order for it to be produced using this method.

The development drawing should show the evolution of your ideas in this regard.

Most of your drawings can be high quality hand drawings. However, since your final presentation drawing (E2) and technical drawings (E3) should be presented as CAD drawings, you can save some time by starting to work in CAD at this stage.

Suggested Workflow for E1

1. Review your final prototype (Criterion C) and your reflection on areas for improvement (D3). Identify areas of the design that might need to be modified so they could be manufactured commercially. Some questions you might ask are:

1. What materials and processes would be used to produce the product commercially?

2. What scale of production would be appropriate?

2. Review Topic 4 and Topic 10, especially the areas relevant to your design and scale of production. In addition, research and review the types of production processes you are going to use

3. Create a set of development drawings that show your exploration of these area for development. For example, if your design is to be injection molded, you might explore how the form is changed to allow it to be molded accurately. You might also explore the number of mold parts, etc.

We recommend you present your work for Criteria E1 in the following format:

1 page of your original design with annotations that identify areas and features that will be changed for commercial production.

4 pages of developmental drawings that show and explore how these changes might be made. A mixture of of high quality drawings and CAD drawing is ideal at this stage.

The quality of your annotations is essential in this section. Ensure your annotations identify and outline the features or elements of the design that will be changed for commercial production. You need to communicate how your design will be refined for commercial production, but with short, clear descriptions.

Presents the developed commercial product comprehensively

one A4 page (or equivalent)

Students must not include any extended writing to address this strand.

The only required evidence for this strand are:

a presentation drawing of the commercial product

annotation* of the presentation drawing of the selected design highlighting the key modifications required for commercial production.

As mentioned in E1, you can save some time by beginning your CAD work in that stage; That way you have a file you can begin to work with.

In addition, your work in E3 will depend on the quality of your CAD file that you produce. Take your time here to produce an accurate, high quality file that you can use to create high quality planning drawings

Suggested Workflow for E2

1. Based on your work and development in E1, create a high quality presentation drawing of your design. We recommend creating a CAD model of your design at this stage.

2. Include annotations that highlight the key features and changes that have been made in order to modify the design for commercial production.

We recommend you present your work for Criteria E2 in the following format:

1 page that includes high quality images of your design (rendering in CAD is recommended). Annotations should be included (see above).

Presents the developed commercial product comprehensively

nine A4 pages (or equivalent)

Students must not include any extended writing to address this strand.

The only required evidence for this strand are:

a plannings drawing of the commercial product

This section is quite similar in scope and focus to Criterion C2: You need to develop technical drawings for the production of the design, as well as a bill of materials and assembly drawings.

CAD drawings are essential here. If you have started to develop your CAD model in E1, you will have saved yourself much time and effort.

Follow best practices for CAD, ensuring that your design is created in a way that is accurate and will allow you to easily generate the required drawings.

Suggested Workflow for E3

1. Use the drawing function in your CAD software to create a set of drawings that communicate how the design would be manufactured. These would include:

Orthographic Drawings of the final design

Orthographic drawings of components and assemblies

Exploded isometric drawings to show construction and final assembly.

2. Create a BOM (Bill Of Materials) for your design. This can be a table that includes the following information:

1. Part Number: Give each part a sequential number (e.g. 1, 2, 3...)

2. Part Name: A descriptive name of the part that includes the material and function (e.g. Plywood base); Include Color here if relevant

3. Size or dimensions: Include the metric dimensions of the part (e.g. 30cm X 20cm X 1.5cm)

4. Quantity: Include the total quantity need to manufacture the design.

5. Making or Buying: Indicate whether you are making or buying this part.

6. Unit Cost: Include the individual cost of the part

7. Total Cost: Multiply the quantity by the Unit cost to determine the total cost.

We recommend you present your work for Criteria E3 in the following format:

1-2 pages of orthographic drawings of the final design

4 pages of technical drawings. These could include: Orthographic views of other components or assemblies, drawings for molds, templates, or any other drawings that would aid in the commercial manufacture

1 page for the Bill of Materials (BOM)

2 pages of assembly drawings showing how the product would be assembled. These could include exploded isometric drawings, assembly drawings, etc.

You should select from a number of testing strategies to ensure you can accurately measure the success of the prototype. These could include, but are not limited to

User testing by giving the product to the user to use and observing and gathering feedback.

Performance testing of the critical features of the design.

Expert Feedback through and interview or evaluation from an expert.

Durability testing to determine how the prototype performs of time or under stress (load , wear and tear). *Important: this type of testing may be destructive. It is a good idea to do it last, after you have completed other non-destructive tests.

Safety testing to determine hazards and how well the prototype meets relevant safety regulations

Comparison against existing products

Life-cycle analysis to measure impact.

It is a good idea to start developing your testing strategy (D1) when you are working on your specifications (A3). This way, you can ensure your specifications will be testable.

Prioritize your tests from non-destructive to destructive

Surveys: review the quality of your questions to ensure you gather meaningful and accurate data. Refer to the Designing Successful Surveys explainer

Suggested Workflow for D1

1. Review your A3 Design Specifications

2. Identify and Justify testing strategies that will evaluate these specifications. Remember, some testing strategies may measure several specifications at once.

We recommend you present your work for Criteria D1 in the following format:

A table with the follow columns:

Specification, Testing Method, Justification

Evaluate the success of the prototype against the design specification

Two A4 pages or the equivalent

700 words

The only required evidence for this strand are:

information gathered from testing of the prototype

an indication of the extent to which the prototype matches the requirements of the design specification.

Impact summary: We recommend that you present a summary of the impact of your design on the user. Using the data from your testing, present an overall evaluation of your prototype. Be honest and practical in your summary. This can be a short paragraph that sums up and evaluates the outcomes.

Be sure to show clear evidence that your design was tested by users. You must include photographic evidence that your design was:

1. manufactured, and that

2. users interacted with it so you could gather data

Work on D1 and D2 together to ensure you cover all aspects of your design that need to be tested.

Suggested Workflow for D2

1. Review your design specifications from A3.

2. Review your testing data that you gathered using the testing strategies in D1.

3. Evaluate your design, using the testing data to support your findings. You identify the strengths and/or weaknesses of the design, where relevant.

4. Collect and/or create charts, tables, or images to support your findings.

5. Very data tables, and detailed evidence of testing should be included in the appendix.

6. Present an overall evaluation of the design's impact on solving the problem.

We recommend you present your work for Criteria D2 in the following format:

A table with the following columns:

Specification, Specification met (meets, exceeds, does not meet), notes or evaluation

Images of testing, with annotations

Charts, tables or graphs to support findings.

100-120 word Impact summary.

Use the PEEL paragraph format to write a summary of the design's' impact on the solving the user's need.

Demonstrate how the prototype could be improved, considering how individual improvements affect the design as a whole.

2 A4 page2 or the equivalent

250 words

The only required evidence for this strand are:

a combination of graphical models and extended text to suggest how the prototype could be improved.

Your improvements should be based on the analysis and evaluation in D2. Remember, you are still solving the original design opportunity.

Do not create a wholly new design here. You suggestions should be focused on improving the existing prototype.

Your sketches here should show analysis of the areas that need improvement.

For HL students, this is the section where you should make make any significant changes to the form or function of your design based on user feedback and testing. In Criterion E, your design for commercial production should reflect these changes.

Suggested Workflow for D3

1. Identity the critical elements of the design that need to be improved.

2. Use graphic modeling, prototyping. CAD/CAM, or rapid prototyping (3D printing, laser cutting) to present your ideas.

3. Annotate all images. Annotations should highlight the features of the design that are improvements.

We recommend you present your work for Criteria D3 in the following format:

2 pages featuring a combination of images and text that describe the improvements.

1. states a testing strategy to measure the success of the prototype

2. evaluates the success of the prototype against few aspects of the design specification with no evidence of testing

3. lists how the prototype could be improved.

1. describes a testing strategy to measure the success of the prototype

2. evaluates the success of the prototype against some aspects of the design specification

3. outlines how the prototype could be improved.

1. justifies a testing strategy to measure the success of the prototype

2. evaluates the success of the prototype against the design specification

3. demonstrates how the prototype could be improved, considering how individual improvements affect the design as a whole.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The goal of the tests is to measure the success of the prototype. Thus, in this step you should explain and justify how this testing strategy will help measure the success of the prototype. Each strategy should collect data (qualitative and quantitative).

New requirements for 2020

The final step in Criterion B is the presentation and justification of the final design (B3).

To reach this point, step B1 should show development of ideas. Step B2 should develop concept models of the idea or aspects of the idea in order to better understand the feasibility, function, performance, etc. In a way, these two steps are like research the designer does to develop a final design (B3)

Develops feasible ideas to meet appropriate specifications that explore solutions to the problem

Six A4 pages or the equivalent*

Students must not include any extended writing to address this strand.

Uses concept modelling and analyses the outcomes to guide design development

four A4 page or the equivalent*

Students must not include any extended writing to address this strand.

Photographic Documentation and Annotation in B2

In DP Design Tech, your photographic documentation should:

include an annotation that describes the image (under 10 words)

include clear, sharp images of the steps

be cropped to focus on the task, step, or action

show no distracting background or elements

be taken by you

For screenshots, they should:

include an annotation that describes the image (under 10 words)

be at a resolution where any relevant text is clear and readable

only show the relevant parts of the screen

not include unnecessary toolbars, windows, or desktop elements.

In DP Design Technology, your annotations should:

Be less than 10 words for each annotation

Use appropriate technical vocabulary

Be descriptive and explanatory

Be analytical (state strengths and weaknesses)

Use arrows if necessary to help understanding

Justifies an appropriate idea for detailed development

one A4 page or the equivalent*

approximately 300 words

Planteo la metodología de Kumar como fuente de complemento y fortalecimiento en un buen proceso de diseño, dado que el menciona la importancia de la INNOVACIÓN al momento de activar el pensamiento en diseño y considero que es algo que a los estudiantes del hace falta, ya que no todo el tiempo se trata de inventar, que a mi consideración es un procesos mucho mas complejo que la innovación dado que en este caso por lo menos partes de una base solida, mientras que para inventar debemos ser lo mas disruptivos posibles.

# data[].attributes.body
Cito textualmente a Vijay Kumar:

PRINCIPIO 2: Pensar en la Innovación como un Sistema. Al pensar en nuestro producto como una parte de sistemas más complejos, es posible entender que existen oportunidades de innovación en todos los niveles del sistema. Kumar hablar de Apple como el ejemplo perfecto, en el que no sólo se concentró la innovación en el iPod como un reproductor de mp3, sino que también se consideró el desarrollo del reproductor software iTunes, el App Store, el iTunes Store, la integración del iPhone, el iPad, etc. Todo como innovaciones interconectadas en un sistema más complejo.

# data[].attributes.body
Cito textualmente a Vijay Kumar:

PRINCIPIO 1: Construir Innovación Alrededor de Experiencias. Significa pensar en el producto o servicio como una experiencia completa, que va mucho más allá que la sencilla oferta objetiva. Esta mentalidad hace que el enfoque de la innovación no esté en el producto sino en el usuario; aquello que el usuario hace con el producto en diferentes etapas y la razón por la que lo utiliza. O sea, no es sólo la experiencia obvia de usar el producto, sino también todo lo que rodea el uso de ese producto y todas las acciones anteriores y posteriores a su uso.
