Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use polymer fabrication techniques to fit and assemble components or customised products.This unit applies to an individual working alone or as part of a team. This unit principally refers to those specialised polymer fabrication techniques that can be applied to the manufacture of orthotics, prosthetics, bionic and mechanical healthcare and industrial products. No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
