Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to plan and develop a two-dimensional pattern from which three-dimensional products or moulds can be made. Two-dimensional patterns are typically used in the fabrication, thermoforming, composites and rubber lining sectors.This unit of competency applies to experienced operators who are required to interpret drawings and specifications, plot the dimensions and ‘develop’ solid objects into two-dimensional patterns, check and complete the pattern and solve problems within area of responsibility.This unit of competency applies to an experienced operator demonstrating theoretical and technical knowledge and well developed skills in situations that require some discretion and judgement. The operator may work alone or as a member of a team or group and will work in liaison with other shift team members, team leader and supervisor, as appropriate.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Determine dimensions of finished patterns
  • 1.1 Establish required size(s) of finished products from customer orders
  • 1.2 Check size requirements in relation to the production process and finishing capacity of the workplace
2 Plan process
  • 2.1 Identify material for pattern from approximate size and characteristics
  • 2.2 Identify, locate and assemble required instruments and equipment
  • 2.3 Interpret drawings and related specifications
  • 2.4 Check procedures for using pattern development instruments and tools, and prepare equipment for use
3 Plot dimensions
  • 3.1 Use equipment and tools following workplace procedures
  • 3.2 Measure, explode and plot each dimension, maintaining appropriate angles, arcs and curves
  • 3.3 Compare pattern dimensions and shapes with drawings and specifications, both visually and using measurements
4 Complete pattern
  • 4.1 Ensure completed pattern indicates completion date and original drawing details
  • 4.2 Obtain required approvals of pattern
  • 4.3 Mark plans with notations for workplace requirements, including authorship, process or customer requirements, authorisation and any review dates
  • 4.4 Complete relevant documentation and records
5 Anticipate and solve problems
  • 5.1 Recognise actual and/or potential problems
  • 5.2 Refer problems outside area of responsibility to appropriate person, with possible causes
  • 5.3 Seek information and assistance as required to solve problems
  • 5.4 Solve problems within area of responsibility
  • 5.5 Follow through items initiated until final resolution has occurred
