PLTW Design and Modeling Lesson 2 Vocabulary

This is the process of creating a solid model or 3D object using a modeling and design application on a computer

• Solid Modeling

• Isometric Sketching

• Translation

• Three dimensional object.

This is a process that uses a computer to assist in designing something, such as a part, circuit, or building.

• Clip art

• Computer-Aided Design

• Automated Drafting

• Computer-Aided Manufacturing

This is when a transformation is moved in TinkerCAD.

• Translation

• Reflection

• Rotation

• Resizing

This is to change the size of an object in TinkerCAD.

• Rotate

• Magnify

• Scale

• Enlarge

This is s solid modeling design method where an object is created by adding volume to a smaller object.

• Subtractive Method

• Mean

• Additive Method

• Constructive Method

This is a solid modeling design method where an object is created by subtracting volume from a larger object.

• Constructive approach

• Subtractive method

• Additive technique

• Volume

This is the amount of space, measured in cubic units, that an object or substance fills.

• Volume

• Inches

• Surface Area

• Dimension

This is the total area of the surface of a three-dimensional object.

• Volume

• Perimeter

• Circumference

• Surface Area

This is the space of a two-dimensional surface or region measured in squared units.

• Volume

• Dimension

• Area

• Perimeter

This is the sum of the values in a data set divided by the number of values in the data set.

• Scale

• Range

• Mean

• Median
