Develop and manufacture precision models

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to develop and manufacture precision models where accurate and complicated models are required to assist in the development and manufacture of production of tooling for a wide variety of processes.

This unit can also apply to the inspection/completion of items made in the stereo lithography process.

When the programming of coordinate measurement machines and/or NC/CNC machines is required appropriate machine programming units should also be selected.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Band: A

Unit Weight: 6

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Models include one (1) or more of the following:

flow

viewing

prototype

development

Material includes one (1) or more of the following:

timber

metal

plastic

fibreglass

composites

Processes include one (1) or more of the following:

high volume foundry tooling

blow moulding

metal forming

vacuum forming

rotational moulding

gravity die casting

pressure die casting

low pressure die casting

complex ferrous and non-ferrous castings

plastic injection moulding

Specifications include one (1) or more of the following:

complex drawings

Mylar drawings

technical sketches

customer requirements

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice Yes No Comments/feedback
Select appropriate material to meet specifications 
Develop and plan finished model design with reference to customer's specifications (written or verbal) for finish, quality and form, using applicable processes 
Calculate contractions allowances, clearances and tapers to establish model parameters 
Design and manufacture datum boards, jigs and fixtures as required 
Determine sequence of manufacture, including build-up on datum board, and establishing datum's mark out of model and areas to be NC/CNC machined 
Select and use appropriate machines and machining processes to shape/produce model to specifications 
Select and use a range of hand and hand held power tools to fashion and manufacture model to fine tolerances according to specifications, ensuring that surface finish is appropriate to the type of model 
Undertake appropriate measurement/calculations to check specifications, including coordinate measuring and machine checking as required 
Record and report all deviations or modifications to original tooling design, prints or plans, consistent with procedures 
Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
