mechanisms is central to the effective solving of Design problems in line with the updated Metal
Technology and Design Syllabus.

NB: Candidates are allowed and encouraged to produce a scaled down version of their design
when realising the artefact. They are also encouraged, where possible and relevant, to combine
different materials e.g. metal and wood or plastic, in realizing their designs, provided the
predominant material remains metal.

Candidates should choose one option only and produce:-
(1) a detailed A3 Design Folio showing the development of the design process from the

should include the evaluation.

di a well constructed scaled mock-up of the chosen solution in any suitable material.
