| Pattern Development | The development of a manufacturing part or element formed from flat materials. |
| Design Iterations | methodology based on a cyclic process of prototyping, testing, analyzing, and refining a product or process |
| Design Intent | used to describe how the model should be created and how it should behave when it is changed. Design intent is not just about the size and shape of features, but includes tolerances, manufacturing processes, relationship between features, dimensions, and the use of equations |
| Conceptual Development | set of activities that are carried out early in the systems engineering life cycle to collect and prioritize operational needs and challenges, develop alternative concepts to meet the needs, and select a preferred one as the basis for subsequent system or capability development and implementation |
| Tolerance | The total amount a single dimension can vary. The difference between the upper and lower limits |
| Parametric Modeling | uses the computer to design objects or systems that model component attributes with real world behavior. Parametric modeling allows designers to define entire shapes, not just specific parts |
| 3D Laser Scanning | is a non-contact, non-destructive technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using a line of laser light. 3D laser scanning is a way to capture a physical object’s exact size and shape into the computer world as a digital 3-dimensional representation. |
| Manufacturing Process | Process of steps through which raw materials are transformed into a final product |
