DRAFTING FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE UPDATED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Purpose of Building Information Modeling (BIM) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Provide insight for creating &
managing building & infrastructure projects faster, more economically, & with less environmental
impact.
Purpose of Rapid Prototyping - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Quickly provide a scale model of a physical part
or assembly by using data from a three-dimensional (3D) CAD design to fabricate the part. There are a
variety of methods to fabricate the part, to include 3D printing.
Industrial Design - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Identified as a designer's ability to apply both art and
scientific techniques to help create, & solve problems related to a product's form, use ergonomics,
development, marketability, & profitability.
Sustainable Design - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Environmental Design. Sustainability & green design.
