Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to test and apply techniques for the design and construction of product design prototypes. It involves planning resources required to meet the design brief, testing different approaches based on research and developing prototypes of products that meet brief requirements.It applies to individuals who generate product designs as part of their working environment. Products may include soft furnishings, furniture, toys, decorative objects and kitchenware.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
