Design Modelling Flashcards
2D CAD
flat drawings of products and structures
2.5 CAD
prismatic models
3D CAD
realistic model of design object
3D wireframe and surface modelling
a skeleton-like inner structure of the object being modelled
Solid Modelling
the program calculates the dimensions of the object it is creating
Data modelling
virtual prototyping
software driven process that simulates products and environment by mimicking real world behaviours
to see errors, like crashing a car
bottom up modelling
top down modelling
the chain
rapid modelling
laminated object manufacturing (LOM)
a rapid prototyping system that layers the adhesive coated paper, plastic or metal laminates glued together and cut to shape w knife or laser
Stereo Lithography
selective polymerization of a photosensitive resin using ultraviolet light. ultraviolet laser beam focuses on the top layer of photo sensitive resin. the cured layers of polymer is lowered by a platform attached to it so a fresh layer cover the cured one.
Selective Layer Sintering (SLS)
a high power laser beam selectively melts and fuses powdered material spread on a layer
fused deposition modeling (FDM)e
relies on melting and selectively depositing a thin filament of thermoplastic polymer in a cross hatching fashion to form each layer
