The schematics are just a generic non specific part needed to process the APW armor mold. And there is only the APW class specific armor that results from this.
There is no non class specific crafted APW armor.
As for the APW weapon recipies they essentially require materials that are harvested and dropped in APW (MUST purchase apw harvesting tools at entrance to do so, skinning, mining, reaping.) etc.
To my knowledge there are no schematics required for items crafted from APW dropped recipies...that said I have not personally made anything from a dropped apw recipie so I'm about 95% sure.
Essentially what Meiyo said.
