  1. Disassembling Products Textiles and New design ideas also for long-term Green Design

  2. Disassembling Products • Obtain the information directly by taking measurements from existing products (disassembling an existing product); • Advantages to the manufacturer • • to analyse and evaluate existing products of competitors. • • to discover how the product has been constructed and what fabrics and components have • been used. • • to evaluate existing products in order to improve performance or production processes. • • to discover different construction techniques. • • to gain knowledge and understanding of design features. • • to produce a specification for a new product. • • to correct faults that may have occurred during production. • • to ensure quality standards are being upheld. • • used as a check against the specification. • • to consider ways in which the product may be re-used or recycled to help protect the • environment. • Disadvantages to the manufacturer • • expensive. • • destroys the product. • • undesirable if the product is unique/valuable.

  3. Deconstruction • Disassembly (or Product Analysis): taking apart or breaking down a product to see how it is made (deconstruction). • How do we do this? ‘A3 sheet with a heading ‘ • Sketch the product first; • What occasion is the bag product used for? • Take apart the seams, • what is the product made from? • Measure and draw all the parts of the pattern; • In what order has the product been sewn together; • Label and discuss how the product has been made; • Draw all the pattern markings.

  5. Why should we do this? • Research into Design for Disassembly is taking place at many Universities and companies throughout Europe, Scandinavia and North America. Many of these institutions have produced work suggesting ways in which Design for Disassembly should take place.

  6. The reasons are • Designing for ease of disassembly, to enable the removal of parts without damage. • Designing for ease of purifying, to ensure that the purifying process does not damage the environment. • Designing for ease of testing and classifying, to make it clear as to the condition of parts which can be reused and to enable easy classification of parts through proper markings. • Designing for ease of reconditioning, this supports the reprocessing of parts by providing additional material as well as gripping and adjusting features. • Designing for ease of re-assembly, to provide easy assembly for reconditioned and new parts.

  7. List of headings you could use • Durability • Ease of care • Fabric suitability • Components and ease of opening • Linings • Inside pockets • Where and how the product would be used? • Pattern Construction • Tensile strength of the fabric (how strong is the fabric)?
