range The reproduction capabilities also include print sizes ranging from 45 to 141 percent of the original size. start learning		the limits between which sth varies
halftone Reproduction clarity is so good that halftone illustrations (photographs) and solid or fine line work have excellent resolution and density start learning		a print of a black and white photograph in which the different shades of grey are produced from small and large black dots.
hazardous Photocopying has many advantages over diazo printing, including quality reproduction in many sizes, use of most common materials, and no hazardous ammonia. start learning		involving risk or danger, especially to sb's health or safety
hard copy A CADD system produces a quality hard copy print quickly. start learning		information from computer that has been printed on paper
microfilm A photographic reproduction on film of a drawing or other document that is highly reduced for ease in storage and transmittal from one place to another start learning		film used for storing written information on in print of very small size.
aperture card Although the aperture card is more popular, some microfilm users prerer the roll film. start learning		a small opening in sth
drawer Prior to the use of CADD in many companies, original drawings were filed in drawers by their drawing number. start learning		a part of a piece of furniture such as a desk, used for keeping things in. It is shaped like a box and has a handle on the front for pulling it out
output device start learning		The equipment used to reproduce the drawing from the computer
droplet An inkjet plotter sprays droplets of ink onto the paper to form dot-matrix images start learning		a small drop of a liquid

turnaround However, you are likely to be asked to create drawings for immediate turnaround, the the end result can be lines and letters that are difficult to read start learning		the amount of time it takes to do a piece of work that you have been given and return it
predominant CADD is the predominant method used for creating drawings in industry today. start learning		most obvious or noticeable
preliminary send the preliminary design to the drafting department to complete the drawings. start learning		happening before a more important action or event
model In contrast to 2D, 3D CADD programs generate 3D models. start learning		A model is an exact, computer-generated, 3D representation of an object that is used to develop and visualize objects.
solid model start learning		A solid model contains accurate mass characteristics to help analyze physical properties and better understand the model.
wire frame model start learning		A wire frame model contains only information about object edges.
Surface Model start learning		A surface model contains information about object faces, planes and edges but does not recognize solid mass.
parametric solid modelling start learning		Parametric solid modelling programs allow the creating of mechanical parts and assembly models that contain parametric relationships
Parametrics Parametric relationships are often identified as intelligence because parametric modelling is the result of the programs's ability to effectively store and manage model information in a database. start learning		Parametric relationships function on the idea of associations between model parameters and components
optimum The optimum efficiency of design and manufacturing methods is achieved without producing a single paper copy of a drawing of a part. start learning		the best possible; producing the best possible results
