Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTTF3003A Produce patterns for 3D products

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to use a computer to develop 3-D patterns for the production of complex shapes in sails and canvas products, and to perform work-related calculations.

The unit of competency applies to the computerised development of 3-D drawings, computerised cutting of shapes using a plotting table, calculation of material requirements and costing. Competence must be demonstrated working largely independently and being accountable for own results, including carrying out assigned tasks, coordinating processes and setting and working to deadlines.

Work is conducted in operational indoor workplaces, using computers, plotters and associated software applications, including spreadsheets and computer-aided design (CAD), involving a range of canvas and sail products.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. Work is performed within defined procedures under direct supervision.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
