Materials Technology
Materials Technology includes a range of skills and design challenges, working in pewter, copper, MDF, a variety of woods, bamboo, acrylic, polymorph, and sometimes stranger materials like spaghetti or bananas. Products include, but are not limited to, trusses and skyscrapers, electronic instruments, ergonomic pens, pewter cast pendants, laser-cut rulers, pencil boxes. Learners use a range of 2D and 3D programmes to create products for laser cutting and 3D printing, but we also practise the importance of working materials with hand tools.
