An identified resource that can legally be recovered.
What is Reserves?
An important graphical modelling technique that communicates the functional details of a design.
What is Part and assembly drawings?
A phenomenon where metallic elements are incorporated into the lattice of a base metal that results in the change of metal properties
What is Alloying?
A group of people brought together from different backgrounds to create a cross-fertilization of ideas
What is Multi-Disciplinary teams?
Input -> Sensory -> Central -> Motor -> Output
What is Human information processing system?
Design for Materials -> Design for Process -> Design for Assembly
What is DfM waste reduction model?
A piece of technology that cuts sheet material based on data provided by a CAD software
What is Laminated object manufacturing (LOM)
Material that is widely available in product sizes and its properties are uniformed
What is Man-Made/Engineered timber?

What is Roger's Diffusion of Innovations?
Mechanical laws in relation to movement of humans applied in design to secure the comfort of a product
What is Biomechanics?
A change in function or aspect of a product that intends to minimize waste, and ends up doing the opposite
What is Rebound Effect?
Using lines of sight perpendicular to the viewing plane to produce a projected image
What is Orthographic projection/drawing?
A material that responds to the application of an applied stress by producing a small electrical discharge.
What is Piezoelectricity?
The transferring of a successful design to provide new solutions
What is Adaptation?
Type of data collected that accounts for human stimuli and its affecting factors
What is Psychological data?
A model of an economy based on renewable sources of energy and maerial conserving to create a sustainable economy
What is Circular economy?
A cheap and efficient way for designers to visualize space, or other potential features of a product.
What is Scale models?
Cullet is used to make new glass by remelting used glass products after being separated into groups of green/brown/clear.
What is Glass recovery?
A form of legal documentation that protects designers' products from competitors
Data that accounts for an individual's functioning organ systems
What is Physiological data?
Cumulative energy of a product throughout production, as well as the product life cycle.
What is Embodied energy?
Allows designers to be innovative without restrictions of certain technology, although it is not always representative of the final product.
What is Pros/Cons of conceptual modelling?
What is Robots?
Provides inventors the opportunity to recover expensive research and a measure of protection. It can also reduce competition without risk of innovative ideas being lost without documentation.
What is Effectiveness of IP?
