Finals Study Guide Flashcards
The mental representation and manipulation of two and three dimensional objects.
spatial visualization
A form of pictorial representation or graphical model in which all dimensions parallel to the three principal spatial axes are shown in their true proportions.
Isometric Sketching
The ratio or relationship between a distance or area on a map and the corresponding distance or area on the ground, commonly expressed as a fraction or ratio.
Scale
Also known as solid modeling. The process of creating a solid model or three-dimensional object using a modeling and design application on a computer.
3D Modeling
A solid modeling technique where geometry is subtracted from existing model geometry.
Subtractive
A solid modeling technique where geometry is added to existing model geometry.
Additive
What is the acceptable amount of dimensional variation that will still allow an object to function correctly?
Tolerance
_____________________ provides an allowable variation in only one direction.
Unilateral Tolerance
______________ permits variation in both directions from the specified dimension.
Bilateral Tolerance
________________ provides an upper and lower limit for the dimension of a part.
Limit Dimension
+.004 -0.00 is an example of a ______ tolerance.
Unilateral
+ or - 0.03 is an example of a ______ tolerance.
Bilateral
.505 .495 is an example of a ______ dimension.
Limit
What would the upper and lower limits be for the following bilateral tolerance? (1.50 +/- .05)
1.45-1.55 inches
Identical components that can be substituted for one another, particularly important in the history of manufacturing. As precision instrumentation became available, large numbers of identical parts could be produced at lower overall cost.
Interchangeable Parts
Two areas of one or more parts that contact each other. The areas may be flanges, edges, aligned holes, or similar features.
Mating
A manufacturing method used for rapid prototyping where three-dimensional objects are built by adding layer upon layer of material.
Additive
The tightest possible fit between two mating parts.
Allowance
Limits the size of mating parts so that a clearance or space always results when mating parts are assembled.
Clearance Fit
The fastening between two parts which is achieved by friction after the parts are pushed together, rather than by any other means of fastening.
Interference Fit
