- TEXTILES
- Computer aided design
- Saves time, money and labour
- Although the costs are high the manufacture will gain more profit in the end results
- Is more accurate and repeative
- This reduces human error
- It can create
- Logos
- Patterns
- Designs
- Is able to sort designs and transport the to different parts around the world
- Quick and easy to use
- If there is a n error then the whole production stops until it is repaired, this can cost the manufacture a lot of money as well as lose money
- Saves time, money and labour
- Fabric Printing
- Traditional
- Block Printing
- Design relief-cut in block of wood or metal
- Colour added by roller/dipped in dye
- Design relief-cut in block of wood or metal
- Sentcilling
- Done in the classroom, cut out from cards and sprayed over
- Card prevents cloth from being coloured
- Done in the classroom, cut out from cards and sprayed over
- (Silk-)Screen Printing
- Can be done anywhere
- Mesh Stretched on frame, parts blocked off
- Dye pushed through mesh using squeegee
- Mesh Stretched on frame, parts blocked off
- Can be done anywhere
- Block Printing
- Modern
- Engraved roller printing
- Industrial, expensive and needed for each colour
- Roller made of metal, design is engaved in it
- Industrial, expensive and needed for each colour
- Digital
- All used by technology and usually in industry
- Computer transfer
- All used by technology and usually in industry
- Direct
- Engraved roller printing
- Traditional
- Quality Control
- Guarantees quality of a product
- During manufacture he item could be damaged of construction not done well enough
- Is usually well planned to avoid things going wrong
- Simply means a company will achieve their goal of QA
- Is usually well planned to avoid things going wrong
- During manufacture he item could be damaged of construction not done well enough
- Guarantees quality of a product
- Manufacturing Technques
- Can effect the environemt we live in
- Smart,Modern and Interactive
- Maximise characteristics eg lightness, breathability waterproof
- Usually manufactured using microfibres
- Maximise characteristics eg lightness, breathability waterproof
- Health and Safety in industry
- Get rid of any possible hazrds
- Products are made safely and are afe to use
- Eg labels to keep away from fire
- Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (Legalisation)
- Manufactures required to be aware of and understand risk assessment of all stages of manufacture
- Ensure safety or workers and prevent accidents
- Eg safety posters
- Workers must be trained to use machines
- Wear protective clothing
- All risk monitored and controlled, check assessments, legalisation up to date
- Risk Assessment is a document that considers and identifies risks to reduce them
- Eg machinist ties up hair to prevent hair getting caught in the machine
- Chemicals and materials keep locked away, eg out of sight of children
- Risk Assessment is a document that considers and identifies risks to reduce them
- Products are made safely and are afe to use
- Get rid of any possible hazrds
- Fair Trade
- Workers get better pay
- The money goes directly yo the workers and not the company
- Workers get better pay
- Sustainability
- Clothes are now beign made to last longer and maintain itself
- Is better for the envrirone-ment
- Recycling old fabrics can better impact on envrionment
- Uses less energy
- If their in manufacutring in our country less money is used to trnsport items
- Uses less energy
- Recycling old fabrics can better impact on envrionment
- Is better for the envrirone-ment
- Clothes are now beign made to last longer and maintain itself
- Production Methods
- One-off Production
- One product is made at a time, each is ifferent so labour is intensive, can be made y hand or with machine
- Batch Production
- Small quanity of indentical products, also labour intensive but used with jigs and templates for aid, can be made as often as required,
- Mass Production
- Hundreds of identical products usually from a production line, often involves assembly of number of sub-assemblies. Usually an automation taks, enables smaller number of workers to output productions
- Continuous Flow
- Thousands of identical products made
- Production is 24/7 to eliminate extra costs and maximise production
- Few workers are required for a highly automated
- Production is 24/7 to eliminate extra costs and maximise production
- Thousands of identical products made
- One-off Production
