Materials & Processes

Information on plastics, metals and timbers including characteristics of materials and their uses along with manufacturing processes used in industry to create products.

I appreciate all feedback, feel free to email me with any suggestions, bug reports or any mistakes within the app

Useful for school classes such as 'Design & Manufacture' or 'Product Design'.

If there are any issues or any recommendations you have please email me and I'll try to fix it as soon as possible. Any at all, even if an image seems a bit too big or too small, any spelling mistakes or any factual errors please inform me.


An improve tablet user-interface and more features are coming in future updates.



Thanks to the Technical Department at St Andrew's & St Bride's for the notes.
