| The process of creating a three-dimensional representation of a physical object using specialized software. | A software application used for creating precise drawings and technical illustrations. |
| The process of generating a photorealistic image from a 3D model using software. | The practice of creating detailed drawings and plans that convey the dimensions and specifications of a design. |
| A graphic representation that uses mathematical expressions to represent images as points, lines, and shapes. | Creating an early model of a product to test concepts and design choices. |
| The technique of modeling a real-world process or system to understand its behavior under various conditions. | A collection of vertices, edges, and faces that defines the shape of a 3D object in space. |

| A detailed plan or drawing that outlines how something will be constructed. | The use of software and computer-controlled machinery to automate a manufacturing process. |
| A type of technical drawing that communicates how something functions or is constructed. | A drawing that represents the design and layout of a building or structure. |
| A scaled diagram of a room or building viewed from above, showing the arrangement of spaces. | A representation of an object or structure that maintains proportional relationships in a reduced size. |
| A cut-through representation that reveals the internal components of a structure. | A flat representation of a building's exterior that shows height and design features. |
