Definitions
Industry practice – safe and sound practices generally accepted by competent trade
persons within the fabrication industry.
Simple three-dimensional objects – objects based on right angles including no more
than one transition, e.g. right ducts, cylinders and bends; branches of equal diameter
cylinders, light cones and pyramids; truncated right cones and pyramids; and square
to square, square to round, rectangular to rectangular, and round to round transitions
between parallel planes with one offset.

Range
a Materials may include – sheet, plate, structural sections, angles, channels, pipes,
tubes.
b Patterns should be developed on paper or cardboard.
c Evidence of at least six pattern developments across a range of thicknesses and
involving parallel lines, radial lines, and triangulation methods. At least two
pattern developments must involve transitions.
Elements and performance criteria
Element 1
Develop fabrication patterns for simple three-dimensional objects.
Performance criteria
1.1
Orthographic views of simple three-dimensional objects are drawn with
dimensions in accordance with industry practice.
1.2
Patterns are manually developed from orthographic views in accordance with
industry practice.
1.3
Pattern developments include fabrication and assembly allowances in
accordance with industry practice.
1.4
Pattern developments include construction and datum points.
1.5
Calculations are performed to check the accuracy of patterns.
Please note
Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated
authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against
unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register
credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for
tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
