an imperfection in an object or machine

the standards for ethical or moral behavior of a particular group

the ability of a product to do the job for which it was intended

How much raw material must be purchased?

How much might it cost to coat/paint the product?

How strong is the material and what machines are needed to process it?

Weight determines how much it will cost to transport the material.

A sense of what is right and wrong and guide them when making decisions.

A situation in which there is a choice to be made between two (or more) options, neither of which resolves the situation in an ethically acceptable fashion.

Defining a system of moral values that everyone accepts as good human behavior.

Act in a way that is consistent with your internal conscience even if it is not the best decision for you personally.

imperfect in form or function

A rapid prototyping process that used a moving laser beam to sinter heat-fusible powders (Typically metal)one layer at a time

Rapid prototyping process in which sheet stock is cut and bonded into a stack

A rapid prototyping process that fabricates a part layer-wise by hardening a photopolymer with a guided laser beam

Rapid prototyping process in which a filament of wax or polymer is extruded onto the existing part surface from a workhead to complete each new layer

Rapid prototyping process that builds a part by ejecting adhesive bonding material onto successive layers

the process of manufacturing by shaping pliable raw material using a rigid frame or model called a mold. Plastics are a popular type of material used in this process.

a manufacturing process by which a molten material such as metal or plastic is introduced into a mold, allowed to solidify within the mold, and then ejected or broken out to make a fabricated part.

Involves the removal of material

Also referred to as the subtractive process

Involves putting parts together

May be temporary or permanent

Includes bonding and mechanical fastening

Uses force to cause a material to permanently take a shape

Changes some of the material properties

A device that holds a workpiece and guides the movement of the tool that operate on it

A device that holds a workpiece for machining operations without direct contact with the tool that operates on it

the number of revolutions per minute (rpm) made by the cutting tool of a machine

Feed rate at which mill can plunge into material while still cutting material

The rate of a tool measured in surface feet per minute

The distance advanced by the cutting tool along the length of the work for every revolution of the spindle

a letter used in G & M code programming to designate a class of functions

an attribute of a feature, such as a dimension, that can be modified

is the programming expression formed when a letter (address) is combined with a number

is a single line of code in an NC part program
