conceptual
A model that exists in the mind used to help us know and understand ideas.
What is conceptual modeling?
Drawings that are used to guide the production of a product, most commonly orthographical projection, section drawings, part drawings, assembly drawings and plan drawings
What is working drawings?
A model that is either a smaller or larger physical copy of an object
What is scale model?
The use of computers to aid the design process.
What is Computer Aided Design(CAD)?
entails a machine that produces a complete product including internal details, at a fairly quick rate in which it reduce product development time as prototypes are quickly made and can be tested
What is rapid prototyping?
a form of modeling with paper, card stock, paperboard, and corrugated fiberboard
What is cardboard modeling?
Drawings that are drawn on a 30/90/30 degree axis
What is isometric drawing?
A sample or model built to test a concept or process or to act as an object to be replicated or learned from. It can be developed at a range of fidelity and for different contexts.
What is prototype?
The use of 3D simulation software that enables designers to produce photo-realistic images of products in lifelike settings and to interact with them.
What is Virtual Reality(VR)?
a machine takes the sliced CAD data from the 3D model and cut out each layer from a roll of material, using a laser or plotter cutter. These sliced layers are glued together to form the model, which is either built on a movable platform below the machine or on pins when using card.
What is laminated object manufacturing(LOM)?
a type of diagram that represents a workflow or process
What is flowchart?
A type of drawing that includes orthogonal, isometric, exploded isometric, sectional, parts, and assembly drawings which are done with great precision and usually with mechanical drawing aides (ruler, square, compass) or in CAD programs (Autodesk Fusion).
What is formal drawing?
The degree to which a prototype is exactly like the final product.
What is Fidelity?
a design relates to the use of a hierarchy involving locking-in information critical to a design at the earliest stage and relying on this structure to inform the design at later or lower levels of product design.
What is top-down modeling?
A high powered CO2 laser is used to sinter a thin layer of heat-fusible powder that gradually builds up the 3D model.
What is Selective laser sintering (SLS)?
The process of generating ideas and then developing them into a final product to be sold to consumers.
Orthogonal drawings that communicate the functional detail of a design by indicating the size and relative position of all parts
What are assembly drawings?
Prototypes that are equipped with the ability to take measurements to provide accurate quantitative feedback for analysis.
What is Instrumented Model?
Using software with an underlying physics engine may be used to replicate and calculate muscle force, efficient muscle action of fatigue.
What are digital humans?
an additive fabrication process utilizing a vat of liquid UV-curable photopolymer "resin" and a UV laser to build parts a layer at a time.
What is Stereo lithography(SLA)?
is the process of defining the architecture, components, modules, interfaces, and data for a system to satisfy specified requirements
What is systems design?
models that typically offer convenience and cost advantages over the alternatives
What are mathematical models?
The process of determining the degree to a model is an accurate representation of the real world from the perspective of the intended uses of the model
What is validation?
models use a file structure involving data records that have no structured interrelationship.
What are flat file models?
a type of additive manufacturing for metal parts. It is often classified as a rapid manufacturing method.
What is electron beam melting?
