Unit 3 - Modelling Flashcards
Graphical Models
2D drawings, diagrams, and sketches.
Physical Models
3D, clay, cardboard, rapid prototype (other materials)
Advantages of concept models
Allows clients to provide input, reduction of development costs, communicate function and aesthetics
Disadvantages of concept models
Simple concepts (not detailed), materials are not accurately represented, scaled models do not communicate proportions
2D
Quick representations and communications of an idea.
Orthographic Drawing
accurate representation of form, communicates dimensions/form, shows side of a product
Isometric Drawings
no vanishing points, 30/90/60, overall form of a product
Part and Assembly drawings
Shown as an exploded isometric drawing, purpose is to communicate the sequence of assembling a project.
perspective drawings
showing an object as if viewed from a single point.
Sketching
quick to create, easy to communicate
Scale Models
model that is either a smaller or larger physical copy of an object.
Aesthetic models
developed to look and feel like the real product. Form over function
Mock-ups
scale or full-size representation of a product used to gain feedback from users. Some functionality
Prototypes
sample or model built to test a concept or process, or to act as an object to be replicated or learned from. High, mid, or low fidelity.
Low Fidelity
not tangible or durable, but they do communicate basic information about form, shape, function,
