About: Blue Prints
Plans (aka blue prints) are 2 dimensional (2d) representations of 3d objects containing detailed unitary dimensions of a 3d object or objects in a field. Plans or Blue Prints are a type of drawing that are technical in nature that are used to clearly define requirements for engineered or architectural items, and are created in accordance with standardized conventions for layout, appearance, nomenclature, interpretation, size. The purpose of a plan is to accurately capture all of the geometric features of a product or a structure. The end goal of a 2d plan is to convey all of the required information to allow a manufacturer or contractor to produce the component or structure.



About: 3d Model
A 3D model is a representation of a physical or projected object in computer graphics. 3D models have numerical representations in all 3 axis x,y & z. Similar to a sculpture creating a design from a piece of clay, 3d graphic developer create a model in virtual space.
3D modeling is referred to as surface modeling or solid modeling depending on the type of software being utilized to create the 3d model. Surface modeling software is commonly used for designers in the field of movie animation and video game production. Solid modeling software is commonly used by engineers for creating 3d models for the purpose of visual and functional testing such as finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics and motion simulation.

About: Rendering Methods
Many different and specialized rendering methods have been produced from basic wire frame and polygon rendering to more advanced techniques such as scan line rendering, ray tracing and radiosity. Rendering may take from a few seconds to many days for a single image/frame depending on the complexity. 3d modeling is referred to as Free Form Surface Modeling or Parametric Solid Modeling depending on the type of software being utilized to create the 3d model. Free Form Surface Modeling software is commonly used for designers in the field of movie animation and video game production.
Parametric Solid Modeling software is commonly used by engineers for creating 3d models for the purpose of visual and functional testing such as finite element analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Motion Simulation.

About: Solid Vs. Surface Modeling
Solid Modeling is the representation of the solid parts of objects suitable for computer processing. Other modeling methods include Surface Modeling which is used extensively in automotive and consumer product design as well as entertainment animation, and wire frame models. The primary use of solid modeling is for CAD, engineering analysis, rapid prototyping, computer graphics and animation, medical testing and product visualization.

About: 3D Animation
3D Animation is the act of creating moving images via the use of computers. It is often known as computer graphics and or computer animation. It is also referred to as CGI (Computer Generated Imaging), especially when used in films.
To create the illusion of movement, images are displayed on the computer screen overlapping but shifted slightly identical to the process of movement achieved in television and motion pictures.
In 3D animation, all of the frames must be rendered after modeling is complete.

More about Solid Modeling
Solid models consist of groups of features, added one at a time, until the model is complete. Engineering solid models are developed with sketcher-based features; 2-D sketches that are swept along a path to become 3-D such as cuts or extrusions.
Another type of modeling technique is free form surface modeling where surfaces are defined, trimmed and merged, and filled to make solids. Surfacing is more difficult, but better applicable to some manufacturing. Solid models for injection molds have both surfacing and sketcher based features.

About: Computer animations
Computer Animations of computer generated characters is an example of parametric modeling. Character skins are modeled with Nurbs patches and stitched together to create polygon models. This skin is then connected to a skeleton within characters. The skeleton of the character is rotated into positions which drives the movement of the characters during each frame to create animation.

About: Product Lifecycle Management
Product lifecycle management (plm) is a process whereas the entire lifecycle of a product is managed beginning from conception, carried through the design and manufacture stages to service and eventual disposal.
Most companies manage their communications and information with their customers, suppliers and resources within their company via this process.
Benefits include reducing product time to market, improved quality control and grouched prototyping costs. Other benefits include savings through the re-using of data via the complete integration of engineering workflows.
Product lifecycle management is a term applied to a specific set of application software's that enable new product development in business processes. Such processes include product management, portfolio management, product design, manufacturing planning and product data management.
The core technology of product lifecycle management is in the central management of data and the technologies utilized to develop and maximize this information. Technologies used for PLM include cad, cam, cae and pdm. Stages include conceive, design, realize and service.
