Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A specific manufacturing term - sometimes relating to one material group only






2. Flexible designs that can be adapted to changing technical and market requirements.






3. A system of manufacturing that uses computers to integrate the processing of production - business and manufacturing in order to create more efficient production lines






4. The business of putting an invention in a market place and making it a success






5. A comparative measure of poverty - literacy - education - life expectancy - childbirth and other factors for countries worldwide






6. 3D printing process using a vat of photosensitive resin and a vertically moving platform. Laser beam directed onto surface of resin to print patter of current model's layer by hardening resin. Platform then moves down by a layer thickness so the next






7. A 3D drawing that realistically represents an object by utilizing foreshortening and vanishing points (usually imaginary ones)






8. The recording of human or animal movement by any means - for example - by video - magnetic or electro- mechanical design






9. The reconstruction or renewal of any part of an existing structure or device.






10. A 2D physical anthropometric model based on a specific percentile - which is used with drawings of the same scale as the model to consider the relationship between the size of an object and people






11. The transfer of an idea from one context to another






12. A tool used in the manufacture of parts by moulding - forging - swaging or stamping processes






13. The ability of a material to be drawn or extruded into a wire or other extended shapes






14. Reuse of a product in the same context or in a different context.






15. Clear representations of the final part. They provide a complete set of data for the product to be realized.






16. Increased body weight in relation to height - when compared to some standard of acceptable or desirable weight. a body mass index of more than 25 is defined as overweight by the World Health Organization. overweight may or may not be due to increase






17. The reduction of weight and ise of materials






18. Applies to 3D profiling. it is the amount of tool that passes over work already cut and determines the quality of the finished surface. it is expressed as a percentage - the higher the quality the higher the percentage






19. The ability to simulate a real situation on the screen and interact with it in a near- natural way.






20. 3 linear axes (X -Y -Z) and two rotary axes (A -B) e.g. milling machine






21. Someone who immediately welcomes a technological change.






22. Basically a CNC robot with small extrusion head. Moves back and forth along a platform building up a model by feeding heated plastic wire through the head.






23. The observation of people using a product and collection of comments from people who have used a product.






24. A conscious act either to ensure a continuing market or to ensure that safety factors and new technologies can be incorporated into later versions of the product






25. A device that is used to cut 2D shapes from card and vinyl






26. Employs inkjet technology. Linear array of nozzles deposit molten wax on a platform layer by layer to build a 3D model.






27. The resistance a material offers to penetration or scratching






28. Tool path is circular - which is useful for round and curved objects






29. CO2 laser is used to sinter a thin layer of heat- fusible powder that gradually builds up the 3D model.






30. A plant or animal in which the DNA has been altered through the insertion of genetic material from another source. genetic modification is the most often used in agricultural crops to increase the resistance to herbicides or to engineer pesticides in






31. A measurement of the relative percentages of fat and muscle mass in the human body - in which weight in kilograms is divided by height in metres and the result used as and index of obesity






32. Refers specifically to the computer control of machines for the purpose of manufacturing complex parts in metals and other materials. Machines are controlled by a program commonly called a 'G code'. Each code is assigned to a particular operation or






33. A designer creates a part geometry independent of the assembly or any other component. although there are often some design criteria established before modelling the part - this information is not shared between models. once all part models are compl

34. The mass production of a product via a flow line based on the interchangeability of parts - pre- processing of materials - standardization and work division






35. The rate of flow of electrons






36. The quantity of unbalanced electricity in a body (either positive or negative) and construed as an excess or deficiency of electrons and is measured in coulombs






37. A type of fastening that is not supposed to be removed. it is only possible to remove such joins by drilling - cutting or grinding the join away






38. The assessment of the effect a product has on the environment from the initial concept to disposal

43. A sugar alcohol with three hydrophilic alcoholic hydroxyl groups. it is an important component of triglycerides (fats and oils) and phospholipids






44. A situation where the firm does not allocate space to the storage of components or completed items - but instead orders them (or manufactures them) when required. large storage areas are not needed and items that are not ordered are not made






45. The passive solar practice of placing windows - or other transparent media - and reflective surfaces so that - during the day - natural sunlight procivides effective internal illumination






46. The calculation and simulation of unknown factors in products using CAD systems. for example simulating the stresses within a welded car part






47. X and Y axes for cutting e.g. CNC Lathe






48. Long- term aims and objectives of a company and ways of achieving them by allocation of resources






49. A series of flat views of an object showing it exactly as it is in shape and size
