A2.2 Prototyping Techniques

What is an aesthetic prototype?

• A model that functions like the final product

• A physical model developed to look and feel like the final product but does not function

• A digital simulation of a human body

• A 3D rapid prototyping methodology

Which technology uses a device to superimpose a computer-generated image onto a user’s view of the real world?

• Augmented reality (AR)

• Finite element analysis (FEA)

• Motion capture

• Orthographic projection

What is the purpose of computer-aided design (CAD)?

• To create physical prototypes

• To aid the design process using computer software

• To simulate human and animal movement

• To depict 3D objects in 2D

What does an exploded drawing depict?

• A digital simulation of a human body

• Components of a product apart in a relative position to how they would be fitted together

• A physical model developed to look like the final product

• A 3D rapid prototyping methodology

What is a functional prototype also referred to as?

• Aesthetic prototype

• Physical working prototype

• Digital human

• Low-fidelity prototype

What is the main feature of generative design?

• It uses artificial intelligence to generate digital model solutions

• It records human and animal movement

• It enables the user to interface with simulated touch sense

• It creates graphical drawing models without instruments

What does haptic technology enable?

• Recording of human and animal movement

• Interface with simulated touch sense via a haptic device or glove

• Depiction of 3D objects in 2D

• Simulation of unknown factors in products

What is the purpose of finite element analysis (FEA)?

• To create a physical model of a design concept

• To simulate unknown factors in products using CAD systems

• To depict components of a product apart

• To record human and animal movement

What is the characteristic of a high-fidelity prototype?

• It is a simplified physical or virtual prototype

• It is highly functional and interactive, similar to the final product

• It is a digital simulation of a human body

• It is a formal drawing technique

What does orthographic projection depict?

• A 3D object in 2D, showing the top, side, and front views

• A digital simulation of a human body

• A physical model developed to look like the final product

• A technology that enables the user to interface with simulated touch sense
