New cards

Graphical Model

A visualization of an idea, often created on paper or through software, in two or three dimensions.

3
New cards

Physical Model

The creation of a tangible version of an object that can be physically interacted with.

4
New cards

Virtual Model

Photorealistic CAD-based interactive models that use surface and solid modelling.

Sketches

Rough, spontaneous drawings used for idea exploration.

19
New cards

Formal Drawing

Precise drawings (e.g., orthographic, isometric) used in the realization stage.

20
New cards

Physical Modelling

Using physical models to visualize and test information about a product's context and user requirements.

21
New cards

Scale Models

Models that are scaled down or up versions of objects to help visualize and manipulate them.

22
New cards

Architecture Model

A scaled down model of a large structure like a building to understand its design in its environment.

23
New cards

Aesthetic Models

Models developed to look and feel like the final product but do not function.

24
New cards

Mock-ups

Scale or full-size representations of a product used to gather user feedback.

25
New cards

Prototypes

Samples or models built to test concepts or processes, with varying levels of fidelity.

26
New cards

Fidelity

The degree to which a prototype resembles the final product, with levels including low, middle, and high fidelity.

27
New cards

Instrumented Models

Prototypes equipped with measurement tools to provide accurate quantitative feedback.

28
New cards

Computer Aided Design (CAD)

The use of computers to aid in the design process, including creating, modifying, and analyzing designs.

29
New cards

Surface Modelling

Models providing a realistic picture of the final model but without interior data.

30
New cards

Solid Modelling

Models that provide complete data for realizing the final product, including interior details.

31
New cards

Top-Down Design

A design process where the concept evolves into a complete product with components and sub-assemblies.

32
New cards

Bottom-Up Design

A design process where parts are created independently and then assembled.

33
New cards

Virtual Prototyping

CAD-based interactive models that simulate and visualize designs digitally.

34
New cards

Digital Humans

Computer simulations of human biomechanics used to predict reactions in various environments.

35
New cards

Haptic Technology

Technology that provides feedback through the sense of touch using mechanical actuators.

36
New cards

Motion Capture

Recording human or animal movements to create digital representations of motion.

37
New cards

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Simulation of stresses and factors within products using CAD systems.

38
New cards

Rapid Prototyping (RP)

A process that uses additive manufacturing techniques to quickly produce physical models with internal details, reducing development time and material waste.

39
New cards

Additive Manufacturing

A process where material is added layer by layer to create a product, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing where material is removed.

40
New cards

Stereolithography (SLA)

A 3D printing process using a laser to harden layers of photosensitive resin, used for creating models, prototypes, and production parts.

41
New cards

Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM)

A process where sliced CAD data layers are cut from material rolls and glued together to form a 3D model.

42
New cards

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)

A 3D printing technique where a heated extrusion nozzle moves along the x, y, and z axes to build a model layer by layer with plastic or composite filaments.

43
New cards

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

A 3D printing process that uses a CO2 laser to fuse heat-fusible powder into a 3D model, with materials including plastic, metal, ceramics, and glass.

44
New cards

Subtractive Manufacturing

A process where material is removed from a solid block to create a product, as opposed to additive manufacturing.
