A description of how close a measurement is to the true value of the quantity measured.
pleasing in appearance
A human-made object.
Computer Aided Design
A measuring instrument having two adjustable jaws typically used to measure diameter or thickness.
A loss or deficiency of motor control with involuntary spasms caused by permanent brain damage present at birth .
A limit to a design process. Constraints may be such things as appearance, funding, space, materials, and human capabilities. A limitation or restriction.
Rules or requirements that a design must follow.
A tool for systematically ranking alternatives according to a set of criteria
A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria, and its constraints. The design brief is used to encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution.
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.
A statement that briefly describes the design goals and needs of stakeholders
Using technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems
An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method of doing something.
A new product, system, or process that has never existed before, created by study and experimentation.
"corner view" A form of 3-D sketch in which all three drawing axes form equal angles of 120 degrees with the plane of projection.
Observing the operation of a device and describing its function and design specifications.
A 2-D, or flat, representation of a 3-D object using views of each side of the object. Also referred to as Right Angle Projection.
A preliminary visual of a possible idea for a design. Most thumbnail sketches are not full-size and have little detail. They are intended to quickly explore possible alternative designs
A method of realistic drawing in which the part of an object closest to the viewer is a planar face, and all the lines describing sides perpendicular to that face can be extended back to converge at one point, the vanishing point.
A simplified version of something complex used, for example, to analyze and solve problems or make predictions.
A clear and concise identification and description of the design problem or opportunity.
A full-scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.
The design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design
A person or household that purchases goods or services.
Construct or manufacture an industrial product.
Observe, study, or make a detailed and systematic examination, in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
The process of making a raw material into a finished product; especially in large quantities.
The parameters placed on the development of a product or system. IUnclude the safety needs, the physical laws that will limit the development of an idea, the available resources, the cultural norms, and the use of criteria and constraints.
Representing depth on a 3D grid.
Representing length on a 3D grid.
Representing height on a 3D grid.
The surface where components are placed in 3D printing
Consists of two assemblies: a cold end to pull and feed the thermoplastic from the spool, and a hot end that melts the thermoplastic
The base material that's used to 3D print objects via fused deposition model
The software package used to divide a 3D model into flat layers, which are then printed one at a time
Having the dimensions of height, width, and depth.
Having the dimensions of height and width, height and depth, or width and depth only.
A label to which a value can be assigned. a word that replaces a number in code
A sequence of instructions for carrying out a task
Going through line by line to find and fix an error in the code.
The order of steps in a program.
Set of instructions used to accomplish a specific task. Also known as a procedure.
An action that causes something to happen.
To perform the same task again and again
Rapid prototyping process in which a filament of wax or polymer is extruded onto the existing part surface from a workhead to complete each new layer.
The most popular file format for 3D printing
A biodegradable plastic that's used to build material in 3D printers
The interior structure of a 3D printed model.
An algorithm written in a code that a computer can understand
