How My Product Would Be Batch or Mass Produced

This is a very important section do not miss it out!

Here are some examples of processes used in manufacturing which can be included in your account

  • Use CNC machines to batch produce components such as handles or feet.
  • Use more machines such as the band saw or laser for cutting rather than hand tools
  • Use jigs to line up the work for drilling or cutting accurately without having to mark out first.
  • Use templates where marking out has to be done.
  • Set up a small production line.
  • Spray paint using robots rather than hand paint.
  • Use measuring jigs to check sizes for quality.
  • Computers used to control and check progress and quality.
