Design Process
A systematic problem-solving strategy, with criteria and constraints, used to develop many possible solutions to solve a problem or satisfy human needs and wants and to winnow (narrow) down the possible solutions to one final choice.
What is the Design Process?
A flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points would wholly lie.
What is a Plane?
1. A manufacturing process that forces material through a shaped opening. 2. A modeling process that creates a three-dimensional form by defining a closed two-dimensional shape and a length.
What is an Extrusion?
A measure of mass per volume.
What is Density?
1. A limit to a design process. These may be such things as appearance, funding, space, materials, and human capabilities. 2. A limitation or restriction.
What is Constraint?
The process of the representation of light and shade on a sketch or map.
What is shading?
A group of machined or handmade parts that fit together to form a self-contained unit.
What is an Assembly?
The amount of three-dimensional space occupied by an object or enclosed within a container.
What is Volume?
A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria, and its constraints
What is a Design Brief?
A measurable extent, such as the three principal ones of an object's width, height, and depth.
What is a Dimension?
Creating a 3D solid or surface by "blanking" a 2D shape about an axis.
What is revolution or revolve?
The number of square units required to cover a surface.
What is Area?
An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method of doing something.
What is Innovation?
A form of a pictorial sketch in which all three drawing axes form equal angles of 120 degrees with the plane of projection.
What is an Isometric Sketch?
A first, typical or preliminary model of something, especially a machine, from which other forms are developed or copied.
What is a prototype?
1. A triangle located round a polygon such as a circle. 2 To draw a figure around another, touching it at points but not cutting it.
What is Circumscribe?
A full-scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.
What is a Prototype?
A two-dimensional contour that characterizes an object or area, in contrast to three-dimensional form.
What is a Shape?
The degree to which repeated measurements show the same result.
What is precision?
Constant, non-numerical relationships between the parts of a geometric figure. Examples include parallelism, perpendicularity, and concentricity.
What is a Geometric Constraint?
A curve formed at the interior intersection between two or more surfaces.
What is a Fillet?
