TECHNICAL DATASHEET - PAGE 1 |
V. Ryan © 2008 - 2010 |
A technical data sheet can be completed during the
research section, development section or it can even be one of the final
sheets of a Product Design project. The sheet includes factual /
statistical detail about the product including the dimensions, weight,
functions, colour, materials and more aspects. |
PRODUCT NAME: Squier Strat (Rosewood) |
At the research stage a technical data sheet will give provide detailed information about a product you may be hoping to improve. It will also help you write the specification for a new or improved product. The information will be very useful when deciding on the materials to be used for your manufactured product, its dimensions and even weight . It may also help you to decide on ways in which the existing design can be improved. |
If a data sheet is compiled after a model has been made it could be given to a focus group along with the model for discussion. A group of people, especially experts in your chosen field will find the detailed information useful. Each detail could be discussed in turn and suggestions made as to how to the product could be improved.

QUESTIONS: 1. Choose a product such as a notebook computer. Construct a technical data sheet listing as many technical details as you can find. Consider looking up the notebook’s specification before compiling the data sheet. 2. Choose a non technical item such as a coffee table. Construct a technical data sheet. This will be simpler as there is less data / statistics to include compared to a notebook computer. However, you could include ergonomic details, weight , height, width, length, materials, glues/adhesives used, limited technical detail of equipment used to manufacture the furniture, cost of manufacture, cost to the customer / client, special features, focus group comments, list of accessories, skill level of workers, scale of manufacture (batch, single item, continuous etc......... |
