involves producing custom work, such as a one-off product for a specific customer or a small batch
one off production
is a technique used in manufacturing, in which the object in question is created stage by stage over a series of workstations, and different batches of products are made.
batch production
is the manufacture of large quantities of standardized products, frequently utilizing assembly line technology. Mass production refers to the process of creating large numbers of similar products efficiently.
mass production
the materials, either dry bulk or fluids that are being processed are continuously in motion, undergoing chemical reactions or subject to mechanical or heat treatment. Continuous processing is contrasted with batch production.
continuous production
A colourless, odourless, nontoxic, transparent, thermoplastic, water-insoluble resin used as an adhesive in certain paints and as an intermediate in the synthesis of polyvinyl acetyl and polyvinyl alcohol. Expand.
PVA glue
which joins plastics such as Perspex together permanently. The glue is applied to the surfaces to be glued and they are pressed together. They should be clamped for 24 hours and this gives a permanent joint.
tensol cement
Polystyrene (poly) cement is only suitable for rigid polystyrene plastic which is the type used for injection moulded kits. It works by dissolving the surface of the plastic which then re-hardens.
polystyrene cement
For joining metals and plastics. It is waterproof but must be mixed up immediately before use.
epoxy resin
is a device that fuses two pieces of plastic together with paper in between. The primary reason for laminating things is to preserve the quality of the material being laminated. It provides a protective barrier against moisture, stains and fingerprints
laminator
are forms of protective eyewear that usually enclose or protect the area surrounding the eye in order to prevent particulates, water or chemicals from striking the eyes. They are used in chemistry laboratories and in woodworking.
safety goggles
is a fixed style of drill that may be mounted on a stand or bolted to the floor or workbench. Portable models with a magnetic base grip the steel work pieces they drill.
pillar drill
is an object used in engineering and technical drawing, with the aim of providing a straightedge at right angle other particular planar to baseline 45 degree also has 90.
set square
the shaping of rubber or plastic articles by injecting heated material into a mould
injection moulding
is a simplified version of thermoforming, where a sheet of plastic is heated to a forming temperature, stretched onto a single-surface mould, and forced against the mould by a vacuum. This process can be used to form plastic into permanent objects such as turnpike signs and protective covers.
vacuum forming
is when you force ink or metal on to (a surface) through a prepared screen of fine material so as to create a picture or pattern.
screen printing
is the process of using a die to shear webs of low-strength materials, such as rubber, fibre, foil, cloth, paper, corrugated fibreboard, paperboard, plastics, pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, foam and sheet metal.
die cutting
is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials, and is typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, but is also starting to be used by schools, small businesses, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics.
laser cutting
is a type of computer controlled machine. Small vinyl cutters look like computer printers. The computer controls the movement of a sharp blade. This blade is used to cut out shapes and letters from sheets of thin self-adhesive plastic (vinyl).
vinyl cutter
is a commonly used printing technique in which the inked image is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface.
Offset Lithography
which involves engraving the image onto an image carrier.
Gravure
a rotary relief printing method using rubber or plastic plates and fluid inks or dyes for printing on fabrics and impervious materials such as plastics, as well as on paper.
Flexography
printing from a hard raised image under pressure, using viscous ink
Letterpress
a material consisting of thin, strong crystalline filaments of carbon, used as a strengthening material, especially in resins and ceramics.
Carbon Fibre
an organism or inorganic object or material which takes various forms.
Polymorph
re display devices that mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper.
Electronic paper
ID system that uses small radio frequency identification devices for identification and tracking purposes.
RFID Tags
as for a notebook or booklet, in which the pages are fastened together by a spiral of wire or plastic that coils through a series of holes punched along one side of each page and the front and back covers.
Spiral binding
method uses wire staples to secure folded sheets of paper.
Saddle-wire stitching
a form of bookbinding in which the leaves are bound by gluing rather than sewing.
Perfect binding
(of a book) bound with a stiff cover, usually of cloth or leather; casebound. Compare paperback.
Hard-bound
a kind of expanded polystyrene used especially for making food containers.
Styrofoam
is a form of 3D printing technology used for creating models, prototypes, patterns, and production of parts in a layer by layer fashion using photopolymerization
Stereo Lithography
A product must pass ....................... to be sold in this country. These are safety standards If a product passes the tests it can display the 'kite' mark
British Standards
To be sold in Europe a product must pass ........................... Safe products can display the CE mark
European Standards
is a manufacturing process by which hollow plastic parts are formed: It is also used for forming glass bottles.
blow moulding
is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data.
rapid prototyping
the production of printed matter by means of a printer linked to a desktop computer, with special software. The system enables reports, advertising matter, etc., to be produced cheaply with a layout and print quality similar to that of typeset books
desktop publishing
