Create objects, using solid modeling.

Creation should include a review of solid modeling concepts. Solid modeling may include

  • extruding a model
  • revolving a model
  • intersecting a model
  • subtracting a model
  • slicing a model
  • sweeping a model
  • constructing three dimensional (3D) faces
  • arraying a 3D feature
  • mirroring a 3D feature. 

Process/Skill Questions: 

  • What is solid modeling?
  • What is an advantage of parametric software?
  • What is the difference between a surface model and a solid model?
  • How is an orthographic projection created from a solid model?
  • What are the types of tests we can perform on solid models?
  • What information is available from a solid model?
  • How are patterns and arrays used in engineering design?
  • What is the difference between a sketch and a feature?
  • What is the difference between surfaces and solids?
