Q1.Design simulation has no benefit to manufacturers for verifying, validating or assessing the intended function of a product under development, as well as the manufacturability of the product. (Answer True or False) ☐ True☒ False Q2.When a component or part is designed on CAD and calculus is utilised to design dimensions and grade of steel, what two (2) further tests could be done to ensure confirmation of said part or component to the required tasks? a) ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ b) ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Q3.A tool manufacturing company has convinced your workplace to test their new tool steel for construction of milling and borer tools. The tool steel has been forged into a slot drill for faster and deeper cuts in a single pass. The tool company has calculated the cutting speeds and feeds, and now want to use a milling machine in the workshop to test said cutter. As the site mechanical engineer, you have been tasked with testing this tool to its limits and possibly beyond and reporting back on usability, wear and breakages etc. Before beginning the test, what are the answers to the following? a) Who should you (as the engineer) communicate with on site and what is a fair and reasonable chain of responsibility? _Stakeholder and all employees who will be helping out and those within the versinity of where the test will be performed________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ b) What is a list of reasonable WH&S tasks to perform? _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ c) Who should you communicate with and what must be done to ensure the same or better sustainability implications are documented of the features and functions of the new tool steel cutter and any changes to the use of the milling machine?
