Learning outcomes:

• Document the process of design and production to demonstrate correct workflows and identify areas for improvement if needed

Have you:

• Explained how you made your files for machining (2D or 3D)

• Shown how you made something BIG (setting up the machine, using fixings, testing joints, adjusting feeds and speeds, depth of cut etc)

• Described problems and how you fixed them

• Included your design files and ‘hero shot’ photos of final object
