CAD - Computer Aided Design
is the use of computer technology for the design of objects, real or virtual.
CNC
computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine tools that have revolutionized the design process.
Conceptualization
To form a concept or concepts of, and especially to interpret in a conceptual way.
Design Process
A design process may include a series of steps followed by designers. Depending on the product or service, some of these stages may be irrelevant, ignored in real-world situations in order to save time, reduce cost, or because they may be redundant in the situation.
Ergonomic
is the science of designing the job, equipment, and workplace to fit the worker.
Fabrication
when used as an industrial term, applies to the building of machines, structures and other equipment, by cutting, shaping and assembling components made from raw materials.
Feasibility
A determination that a process, design, procedure, or plan can be successfully accomplished in the required time frame.
Functional efficiency
the evaluation of the quality; the correct and efficient execution of the functions (functionality) of the application they contribute so that the user is satisfied with the application.
Information Design
is the skill and practice of preparing information so people can use it with efficiency and effectiveness.
Interaction Design
is the discipline of defining the behavior of products and systems that a user can interact with. The practice typically centers around complex technology systems such as software, mobile devices, and other electronic devices.
Manufacturability
Designing a product to be produced in the most efficient manner possible in terms of time, cost and resources, taking into consideration how the product will be processed, and using the existing skill base to achieve the highest yields possible.
Marginal cost
is the change in total cost that arises when the quantity produced changes by one unit. It is the cost of producing one more unit of a good.
Mass Produced
To manufacture in large quantities often by or as if by assembly-line techniques.
Product Development
is a broad field of endeavor dealing with the design, creation, and marketing of new products. Sometimes referred to as new product development (NPD).
Prototype
a standard or typical example.
Rendering
the process of generating an image from a model, by means of computer programs. The model is a description of three-dimensional objects in a strictly defined language or data structure.
Sustainability
Practices that would ensure the continued viability of a product or practice well into the future.
Usability
The state or condition of being usable; The degree to which an object, device, software application, etc. is easy to use with no specific training.
User Interface Design
is the design of computers, appliances, machines, mobile communication devices, software applications, and websites with the focus on the user's experience and interaction.
