What is linear design?
A design process with
sequential stages
View source
What is a key characteristic of linear design stages?
Each stage is only
completed
once
View source
What are the stages in the linear design process?
Design brief
Analysis and specification
Testing and evaluation
Manufacture
Production plan
Development of final design
View source
Why is it important to complete each stage thoroughly in linear design?
To ensure
quality
before moving to the next stage
View source
When might linear design be used?
When
budgets
and
timescales
are tight

proportions
, aesthetics,
ergonomics
, function
View source
What is a benefit of modelling full-size parts?
It allows checking for fit
and
ergonomic features
View source
What does user testing help determine in design development?
